Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently shared how he would handle the ongoing bold storyline between Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley. The veteran outlined his approach to maximizing the impact of this love triangle upon Mami's return.
The Eradicator was forced to vacate her Women's World Championship due to Morgan's backstage attack on RAW after WrestleMania 40. In Ripley's absence, the former Riott Squad member won the Women's World Title, kissed Dirty Dom, and has been trying everything in her power to seduce him until he gives in.
Speaking on his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, the former WWE manager was asked how he would book the love triangle storyline. The 74-year-old legend proposed that Dominik Mysterio verbally humiliating The Nightmare upon her return and siding with Liv Morgan would be a perfect scenario for a shocking turn of events.
"I think that would be, if [Dominik] publicly humiliated Rhea after she got hurt, she came back and he went with Liv, all of a sudden that Rhea... I'd have her beat the s**t out of both of them. And then now, she throws him out, and then she goes, 'Oh, I'm getting you now,' and they are going and then he comes back in, he does something to her and they lay her out and I think that would be the biggest bang for the buck," Mantell said.

During a backstage segment on this week's Monday Night RAW, Liv Morgan raised the stakes of the ongoing storyline. She handed The Judgment Day member the key card to her hotel room.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo noted that WWE is seemingly trying to attract teens and college audiences to watch the product.
"The time that you're talking about, it wasn't teens, it was college students. It was 18 to early 20s, it was college students," he said.
