Dirty Dom used to be in a romance storyline with Rhea Ripley, but he betrayed his former Judgment Day stablemate to align with Liv Morgan at last year's SummerSlam. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Morgan shot down the idea of Mysterio facing Ripley and claimed that it was a dumb idea.

"Why do you wanna watch Dominik crush Rhea? First of all, Dominik, he's such a gentleman. He's not gonna hit a woman, so that's just dumb. But, also, if that were to happen, you like Rhea, I'm assuming, he already crushed Rhea mentally and spiritually and emotionally." [From 02:38 – 03:04]
