Michael Cole and Pat McAfee then welcomes us to the show as Rhea Ripley was shown walking backstage. Ripley then makes her way down to the ring.

Rhea Ripley starts off by saying that “Mami” is home and that it’s been three months since she’s been inside the ring thanks to Liv Morgan. Ripley then says Morgan has been running with something of hers and it’s not Dominik Mysterio it is the WWE Women’s World Championship. Ripley then says all Morgan did last week was upset her, then demands Morgan come down to the ring so she can rip her apart. Dominik’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring with a black rose in hand. Dominik looks to tell Ripley something, but Morgan interrupts them by appearing on the big screen. Morgan asks Ripley how she’s doing and how her shoulder is after she injured it, then says her shoulder is doing great. Morgan then reminds Ripley that she wanted to take everything away from her and says while she started off with just wanting to take Dominik from her, she caught feelings for him. Morgan then says she is finally on top.

Dominik then tells Ripley that it’s not what it looks like and Ripley tells Morgan she knew that she’d be too scared to meet her in the ring. Ripley then tells Morgan when she gets in the ring with her, the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is over. Ripley then challenges Morgan to a WWE Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam. Morgan then says she knew Ripley’s challenge will always be the endgame between them and while she won’t run away, she’s not the same Morgan that Ripley knew. Morgan then accepts Ripley’s challenge and tells Dominik that she hopes to see him at SummerSlam. Ripley then addresses Morgan directly to the camera and tells her that she won’t only end the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour and her reign as WWE Women’s World Champion, but her career as well. Ripley then heads to the back as Dominik chases after her.

We then see WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn run into “The Mad Dragon” Ilja Dragunov backstage.
