00:58the eradicator Rhea Ripley,
01:02a two-time world champion,
01:05who never lost the title after holding it for 379 days.
01:11She had to relinquish the championship due to injury.
01:15Corey, caused by her opponent tonight,
01:17the champion Liv Morgan, he may be on the precipice of the sudden end
01:21to the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour,
01:23which has brought Liv so much success
01:26and everything that once belonged to this woman, Rhea Ripley.
01:29And Ripley is in a mood tonight!
01:33We've been following the story on Monday Night Raw.
01:36Rhea Ripley cannot wait to get her hand
01:39on the woman who tried to destroy her relationship with Dominic Mysterio, Liv Morgan.
01:44Yeah, Liv Morgan has been scripting for the exits
01:47as fast as she possibly did whenever Rhea has arrived on Monday Night Raw
01:52and tonight, Rhea's finally gonna be able to get her hands
01:55on this Liv Morgan who tried to ruin her entire existence.
02:00I'm gonna be totally honest with you two.
02:01I've been jealous that you guys get to call Monday Night Raw
02:03because we're lacking this level of romance on Friday Night SmackDown.
02:07Are you talking about a dirtbag Dom?
02:08Well, I'm talking about Dom and his mommy
02:10and the beautiful sight of love that we are all beholden together.
02:14He was getting straddled and straddling others
02:16on a regular basis there for a while
02:17and somehow, mommy still loves that dirtbag with a mustache in Cleveland, Ohio.
02:22It's beginning to look like the bada-bing out here.
02:25Bada-boom.
02:26Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ringside.
02:28From Monday Night Raw, Michael Cole along with Pat McAfee.
02:31From Friday Night SmackDown, he's Corey Graves.
02:33Are you guys ready for the 37th Annual SummerSlam?
02:35Six championships on the line and a grudge match for the ages.
02:39I've been waiting for tonight for a long, long time.
02:42Hell yeah, Corey. SummerSlam always creates moments
02:44that are remembered forever every single year.
02:46Can't wait to see what happens tonight in Cleveland.
02:48Over 50,000 plus at Cleveland Round Stadium tonight for SummerSlam.
02:55Caught it.
02:57Well, the official in this matchup tonight is Eddie Arango.
03:01And you see in his left ear is the Referee Cam.
03:04And tonight's Ref Cam is brought to you by Weekly American Vodka.
03:09It's gonna be interesting to see some of the video that comes from the Ref Cam here tonight.
03:17Eddie Arango, one of the best officials on earth, not just in this sport, any sport.
03:22Happy we're getting a look from his ear.
03:23Tonight.
03:28Oh, buddy.
03:32Watch me.
03:39Even at the kickoff event in downtown Cleveland yesterday,
03:44Liv Morgan appeared early and took off before Rhea Ripley showed up.
03:49Tonight, Pat, she's got no choice.
03:51She's got to go toe-to-toe with the Eradicator.
03:54Championship on the line.
03:56Staring down something that's been haunting you and has hurt you in the past and has quite a vendetta to
04:02score with you.
04:03Liv Morgan has had success glory at SummerSlam.
04:06Back in 2022, she became the first superstar to pin Ronda Rousey twice here in WWE.
04:13And she did it at this event.
04:15She's a two-time world champion.
04:17Impressive accolades, no matter how you look at them.
04:19But the difference tonight is Liv Morgan has to deal with mommy.
04:23With a fired up and a pissed off Rhea Ripley, who already got her man back.
04:28Tonight, Rhea wants her gold back.
04:30And you want to talk about statistics when it comes to Rhea Ripley.
04:33Listen to this one, guys.
04:35The last time that Rhea Ripley lost a singles match was over 26 months ago.
04:44She was pinned by Liv Morgan over two years ago.
04:51You're talking about your last loss as the same person that put you on the sideline and hurt your shoulder.
04:56Tried to take your little boy toy, who's a dirtbag, and took the title.
05:00Rhea Ripley's got enough chips on her shoulder to run this time tonight.
05:03Liv may be manipulative.
05:05Liv may be underhanded.
05:07But at the end of the day, you've got to give the devil her due.
05:10Liv Morgan, without a doubt, has a plan tonight.
05:13What that plan is, I have no idea.
05:15I don't know how you stopped mommy tonight, but Morgan's going to be ready.
05:21You talk about how ticked off Rhea Ripley is.
05:24Has to keep the emotions in check.
05:26Morgan has the champion's advantage tonight.
05:29Cole, would you leave Dom alone?
05:30He's here to support his better half.
05:32He's a piece of trash.
05:34You don't leave a piece of trash alone or the flies come around.
05:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Women's World Championship!
05:50Introducing the challenger, accompanied to the ring by Dirty Dominic Mysterium, representing the Judgment Day, from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea
06:06Ripley!
06:13It's great to see her all the way back.
06:19And her opponent, from Elmwood Park, New Jersey, she is the Women's World Champion, Liv Morgan!
06:34And Morgan is champion today, because she beat Becky Lynch at the end of May in Saudi Arabia,
06:39because of Dummy Dom, who slid a steel chair in there and allowed Morgan to win the championship.
06:44Let's just take a moment to reminisce about Dom's history at SummerSlam.
06:47What would have happened had the right man gained custody of Dominic?
06:51How much better would Dom's life have been had the tables turned the other direction?
06:56I was trying to avoid that entire conversation, but nonetheless, the custody of Dom.
07:02And here we go.
07:03Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, one-on-one tonight for the Women's World title.
07:07Again, Morgan's got the advantage.
07:08Rhea's got to pin her to submit the champion to win the title.
07:11Now, Pat, this is Rhea's first match since WrestleMania.
07:14She was injured the week following by Liv Morgan.
07:19Rhea was put on this earth to be in the middle of the stadium, ready to kick somebody's ass.
07:23And Liv Morgan has no interest in locking up with Rhea Ripley in the early going.
07:27A wise decision by the champion.
07:29Liv trying to get under the skin of Rhea Ripley even deeper than she already has, which is impressive.
07:35But that's what Morgan's gonna need to do.
07:37You're not gonna stand toe-to-toe with the eradicator.
07:39Yeah, try to throw Rhea off her game.
07:41Get her really emotionally involved in this matchup and make a mistake to allow Morgan to keep the championship.
07:47Also helps her gain advantage.
07:49Now she's in the middle of the ring and Rhea's on the outside.
07:51Oh, Morgan's been a master manipulator.
07:54Master player as well.
07:56She's really gotten under the skin of Ripley.
08:00And listen, I know it may not be a popular realization, but Rhea Ripley's gotta have some nerves tonight.
08:07Being in ring shape is a totally different type of shape than just being able to run on a treadmill.
08:11Keep your cardiovascular conditioning up.
08:13Ripley's been out of the ring for quite some time.
08:15Morgan has not.
08:16That could play into the champion's advantage.
08:17And not even that, but this is the first time that the injured right shoulder of Rhea Ripley is going
08:22to be tested since it was hurt by Morgan.
08:24I agree.
08:24And I think a veteran like Liv Morgan realizes that.
08:27And should the opportunity present itself, I expect Liv to take full advantage.
08:31Liv trying to test the cardio Rhea early here.
08:34Was this proverbial cat and mouse game what you expected here in the early going by the champ?
08:39I guess it's a good idea.
08:41It's what she's been doing for the last few weeks.
08:43Yesterday she was very content doing it.
08:44Why not continue it into the match?
08:46Oh, Rhea Ripley bump fake!
08:48Yeah, Rhea faked out Morgan and now face-to-face challenger and champion.
08:54I'm thinking predator and prey.
08:58And Rhea Ripley finally able to get her hands on Liv Morgan.
09:03Oh, and a clothesline takes down the champion.
09:05And now the beatdown is on.
09:09And another clothesline and down goes Morgan.
09:13And I believe Rhea is going to relish this.
09:15What a physical start for mommy.
09:19Showcasing that power.
09:21And out.
09:22A little more power.
09:23Half and half suplex.
09:25Driving Morgan into the corner and then outside the ring.
09:28Dominic with a big old smile on his face as he looks down at the women's world champ.
09:36You would think that people like Dom would not be able to smile or feel happiness.
09:39But here he is high-fiving.
09:40How many people like Dom?
09:41You never got online and saw that your ex was dating some new schlub and you felt better about yourself.
09:45That's all Dom's doing right now.
09:47Well, the bottom line is, you know, and I can't stand Dominic.
09:51And you guys know my history with him.
09:52But the fact of the matter, he's got Rhea Ripley.
09:54And Liv Morgan wanted him as well.
09:56So the guy's doing something right, I guess.
09:58Dominic's a fashion icon.
09:59He possesses an animalistic magnetism.
10:01I wouldn't go that far in the fashion.
10:02I mean, I'm surprised that there isn't some sort of ordinance against the pheromones Dominic's letting off here in Cleveland.
10:07He's got t-shirts hanging out of his waist.
10:10Well, the divorce rate tripled in this town last week when they knew Dom was coming.
10:13Hey, you tell us why, Cole.
10:16It's a good point.
10:17Sometimes, you know, pieces of crap.
10:20Dumpster fires.
10:22People that look like dude wipes after a poop has happened and you get your butt wiped.
10:27Figure it out.
10:28And he certainly figured it out.
10:29It's going to be some night.
10:30I appreciate that tutorial.
10:33Well, the guy's a poop stain.
10:34Well, that's why he's the color analyst.
10:35He's painting the picture for us out here.
10:37Right.
10:37Bob Rawson out here.
10:38Make sure everybody understands what's on the side of the ring.
10:40And what's in the ring here is two champions that for some reason are distracted by Dumb Dumb.
10:45Oh, what a headbutt.
10:47Night, night champ.
10:49Morgan's eyes driven in the back of her head.
10:51And now Rhea looking for riptide to try to put Morgan away, slams her to the top turnbuckle.
10:58And this is about more than a championship, gentlemen.
11:01This is about vengeance.
11:04Damage.
11:05Rhea Ripley now looking to put Morgan away with a riptide in the center of the ring.
11:10Watch me.
11:11Mocky Morgan.
11:12Liv though.
11:14Able to escape from behind.
11:18Obviously, she knows Rhea Ripley inside and out as well.
11:21She's able to counter another riptide there.
11:23Liv escaped, but is she just delaying the inevitable?
11:26Oh!
11:27Liv Morgan.
11:29Lord Rhea Ripley in.
11:31Yeah, sidestepped and Rhea went into the turnbuckle.
11:33And now the champ looks to try to take control of Rhea Ripley.
11:37Oh!
11:38Into the corner.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40Oh, my God.
11:41Oh, God.
11:42Rhea went to her shoulder.
11:44It's out!
11:44It's out!
11:45It's out!
11:45It's out!
11:47And you heard Rhea say it's out.
11:48She said it's out.
11:54It's out!
11:54It's out!
11:55It's out!
11:55It's out!
11:55It's out!
11:55Can you continue?
11:56You want me to stop this?
11:56Do not stop this!
11:58Are you sure?
12:00Are you sure you don't want me to stop this?
12:02No!
12:04With a look of concern on Dominic's face, you heard Rhea say it's out, which means the shoulder probably
12:09dislocated by Liv Morgan, the injured shoulder of Ripley.
12:12Well, I don't care how tough you are, you can't win a match at WWE with one arm.
12:16No, no, no, no, no.
12:18Get down again!
12:18And again, this is where Rhea was injured, and driven into the corner.
12:28You can see that it's gonna make an eye and our more
12:33Ripley into the steel steps
12:36Again, you don't have to like it, but you have to understand Liz's game plan
12:41Well, I mean she it's working masterfully. She's the one who calls the injury in the first place
12:49I'll stop it away and Ripley right in front of Dirty Dom
12:54Morgan scorned by Mysterio. She walked out of the arena crying two weeks ago
12:58And that's a dumb limb cover to retain the championship and a kick out by Ripley and watch Morgan here
13:04and watch
13:11Have either of you guys competed in any of the sports with a dislocated shoulder?
13:16No, I would no longer compete if it happened to me as well
13:19I'm nowhere near as tough as Rhea Ripley is and this isn't I mean this is insanely intelligent from Liv
13:24Morgan here
13:25It is and this is the sort of ruthlessness that Liv is gonna need tonight
13:28Should she have any hope of getting past mommy and that might have just made it worse
13:33Yeah, now stacking up Rhea Ripley to retain the championship and a kick out
13:37Look of disgust in her face as she looked down at Dirty Dom when Ripley kicked out
13:43Rhea had to know that Liv was gonna test that shoulder. Had to have
13:46And now that Liv has seen some success, she's gonna attack it the rest of the night
13:56And the dueling let's go Rhea, let's go Liv chants here at Cleveland Brown Stadium and Morgan continues
14:03To put the pressure on the injured arm, perhaps dislocated arm, the shoulder of Rhea Ripley
14:07This is an incredibly sound strategy by the champions
14:10We take a look through the ref cam worn by Eddie Arango in this moment
14:14He's got a great view of the action Liv has located her target, the injured shoulder
14:19And now Morgan is exploiting it for all it's worth
14:21This has been a relentless assault on the shoulder of Rhea Ripley
14:28Modified top wrist lock by Morgan and Morgan oh double knees code breaker to the shoulder
14:35He tells you went to the lap
14:37And Rhea with a kick
14:38And that buys herself some time
14:41Creates some separation
14:45Desperation group from Rhea Ripley
14:47Rolls over to be emotionally consoled by Dominic Mysterio
14:53And Rhea battling with one arm here
14:58That is the ultimate equalizer for Rhea is the power
15:01Two
15:08Oh and Dominic shoving Rhea Ripley out of harm's way and taking the bullet for his mommy
15:16That's love Cole
15:18And now Rhea Ripley looking to take advantage trying to send the champ back into the ring
15:23Good thing Dominic was there that may have been disaster for Ripley
15:27I mean chivalry is not that I guess for dum-bum
15:31Three
15:45Oh what the hell oh god oh my goodness she quickly did she just bump her shoulder back in a
15:51joint
15:51by running into the announce table.
15:53That was gross.
15:54I can hear it.
15:57That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
15:59What the...
16:00Rhea Ripley just put her shoulder back in a joint
16:03by running into our announce table
16:05and now going to work on the champion, Morgan.
16:11Big kick by Ripley connects.
16:13Morgan now staggered in the corner.
16:14I've never seen anything like that.
16:16Oh, and a drop kick in a corner by Ripley.
16:21What are you thinking, Pat?
16:23That was mind-blowing.
16:24I mean, just to think to do that.
16:26And the closest thing I can think of, guys,
16:28is Rhea's Judgment Day cover.
16:30Cover.
16:31Oh, and a kick out of two.
16:33Finn Balor suffered a similar injury years back at SummerSlam.
16:37The night he won the Universal Championship
16:39by beating Rollins, had to give it up the next night.
16:42And again, this is disturbing.
16:44I'm not sure I want to see this again.
16:46Oh, my goodness.
16:48Popping the shoulder back into joint.
16:53I mean, it was obviously something
16:55that all of us were incredibly surprised by.
16:59I mean, just the ingenuity to do that
17:01and then for it to work.
17:02And Ripley could be closing in
17:03on another World Championship.
17:05Looking for Riptide with Morgan.
17:07Morgan, though, turns it into a DDT.
17:08Great counter by the champ.
17:10Into the cover.
17:10To retain.
17:11Hook of the leg now.
17:12On Ripley, he'll kick it, too.
17:16Morgan spiked Rhea right on the crown of her dome.
17:20But the challenger had enough left to survive.
17:23Let's take another look.
17:25Hoisted up by Mommy.
17:26And you have to wonder if the shoulder played a factor
17:28in Ripley's power and her ability to deliver
17:32that maneuver that Morgan countered so well.
17:35Are you talking about the shoulder that she tried to spear
17:37through the commentator's desk?
17:38Yes, the one that almost sent me into the front row.
17:40Oh, and now Ripley caught Morgan with a kick,
17:42dropped the champion again.
17:44Liv Morgan toward the corner.
17:46Rhea Ripley.
17:48Trying to bring the fight to Liv.
17:51A competitive battle here tonight.
17:52Morgan!
17:56Oh, Ripley could be thinking about the prism lock.
17:59This is the submission hole,
18:00but she can't really use the right arm here, Corey.
18:04Trying to use it.
18:05Trying to lock it in.
18:06One of Mommy's arms is stronger than both of most.
18:09I can't believe she's doing this just left hand, basically.
18:12If she taps Morgan here, she'll win the championship.
18:15And Liv, though, able to reverse
18:17and send Rhea shoulder first again into the corner.
18:20Great wherewithal by the champion,
18:22desperate as it may be.
18:24Got to think with the humidity,
18:25if maybe Liv was able to loosen up a little bit,
18:29slip out, wiggle out.
18:30And Liv now.
18:31Oh!
18:32It's a fixed driver.
18:33Caught the wind to retain.
18:35Kick at it, too.
18:37And Morgan wisely looking for the arm bar.
18:40Ripley doing her best to prevent the submission
18:42from being completed.
18:43Yeah, Rhea trying to block here.
18:45Liv Morgan trying to separate.
18:46And if she can lock in an arm bar on that shoulder,
18:48it could be all over.
18:49What do you say?
18:51Ripley hanging on for dear life right now.
18:53Yeah, Rhea trying to block.
18:54Morgan now with kick to the midsection of Ripley.
18:56The champion trying to somehow sink in an arm bar here
18:59on the number one contender, Ripley.
19:04How much more does Rhea have left with that arm?
19:07I'm surprised Rhea's got anything left.
19:09Good man.
19:11And credit where it's due once again to Liv Morgan,
19:14who came out here tonight ready.
19:16As unpopular as Morgan may be recently,
19:18Liv Morgan is an A-list competitor right now.
19:21Sound strategy, execution through the roof,
19:24everything that Liv could have wanted thus far.
19:25The cat-and-mouse game forcing Rhea to chase early,
19:28then finding the opening to the end of the shoulder.
19:30But now the power of the eradicator!
19:33Cover for the title!
19:35Ripley hooks the leg and Morgan kicks out!
19:42Incredible back-and-forth action from both competitors.
19:45First, Morgan reaching deep into her bag with a crucifix driver.
19:49And this is superhuman.
19:50With one severely damaged arm,
19:53Ripley able to summon the strength to put Liv down again.
19:59A Monty chance ringing throughout Cleveland Browns Stadium.
20:03Ripley.
20:12Oh, and a head bump by Morgan!
20:14A defiant champion.
20:16Retaliating!
20:18Liv trying to escape out to the apron now.
20:21Oh, and now hanging up the bad shoulder on the ropes again.
20:25Everything in between the ears,
20:26Liv Morgan is doing at a very high level tonight.
20:28Everything.
20:29Now, Morgan climbing into the timekeepers area.
20:32Steel chair in hand.
20:33Oh, maybe Liv's going to try to get herself disqualified.
20:36She'll retain the title.
20:37Exactly.
20:38Champion's advantage.
20:39Not going to make nearly as much money tonight,
20:40but sometimes keeping the gold is worth it.
20:45Morgan, steel chair in hand.
20:47Measuring Ripley.
20:49Remember, that's the reason Liv's champ today,
20:51is because of a steel chair.
20:52And Ripley again trying to shove her shoulder back in the joint.
21:02Super human.
21:03That is the only blocking earth.
21:06And now, chair goes flying.
21:09Ripley sends up.
21:10There it is!
21:11Rip time!
21:13That had to be cathartic.
21:16And I don't believe Rhea's done yet.
21:24Liv Morgan is putting Ripley through hell.
21:27Cost her months of her career.
21:29Cost her the championship.
21:31Rhea knows the rules.
21:32Don't let your emotions get the best of you, Rhea.
21:36If Ripley swings this chair, the gold is gone.
21:40Gold!
21:42Gold!
21:46You can't win the title like this.
21:50You can't win like this.
21:51You can't win the title like this.
21:55Well, they're going Dominic, but they should be appointed.
21:58Exactly.
21:59You just want to tell Rhea, you can't win the title like this.
22:05And Morgan, driving Rhea into Mysterio.
22:08Liv Morgan, oblivion to Ripley.
22:11Rolls through, hooks the leg.
22:13Hover by Morgan.
22:14And a kick out by Ripley at two.
22:17That was Morgan's chance.
22:18Rhea kicked out.
22:20And this stadium just came unglued.
22:24Morgan can't believe it.
22:26Liv Morgan in complete disbelief.
22:29Dominic did the right thing.
22:31He saved Rhea Ripley.
22:33She would have been disqualified, not had a shot at the championship.
22:36And while that disagreement's taking place, Liv hits a picture-perfect.
22:40What the hell?
22:44Oh, Dominic.
22:46But Dominic just tossed her.
22:48This is how it's done, though.
22:49Oh, wait a minute.
22:50Oblivion to the steel chair.
22:52Not again.
22:54And Liv Morgan now, with a cover, retains the championship.
23:00What the hell?
23:02Here is your winner.
23:05And still, the women's world champion, Liv Morgan.
23:16This is just like it's Saudi Arabia.
23:19Dom, with poor aim, allowed Liv to win again.
23:26I'm a deja vu.
23:28Look at this.
23:30First, Dominic doing the right thing.
23:33Telling Rhea, you use the chair, you're going to be disqualified.
23:35You can't win the title.
23:36You can't win the title.
23:39Dom, I believe, was trying to tell Rhea.
23:43Understandably, emotions running high.
23:45Dom was just trying to keep Rhea in check.
23:46There's Oblivion, but Mami kicks out.
23:51Morgan was beside herself.
23:53Let's watch this again.
23:54Yeah, Oblivion right out of the steel chair.
23:56And Dominic had Eddie Arengo's attention.
24:00This is an almost carbon copy of how Liv Morgan beat Becky Lynch for the title to begin with.
24:06And it was Dom's fault then.
24:09Well, Liv Morgan is still the women's.
24:12What the?
24:22Dominic, you sorry two-timing son of a bitch.
24:30This piece of trash screwed over his dad.
24:35And now screws over his mom in his world.
24:41And he loved brand.
24:47Rhea Ripley.
24:51Heartbroken.
24:55Guys, has this been a ruse for months?
25:00What the hell is going on here?
25:02You would assume that Dom can't think months in advance because he's too dumb.
25:08But anything's possible with this piece of...
25:13I'll just say it.
25:14I mean, that's what he is.
25:15This piece of shit!
25:23Oh, now he's flipping off the WWE Universe.
25:29I'm going to go check on Rhea.
