WWE Forced to Change Original Finish for Bad Blood Match – At WWE Bad Blood, Liv Morgan defended her Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley in a chaotic match that included Dominik Mysterio suspended in a shark cage above the ring. However, the contest took an unexpected turn when Dominik Mysterio fell out of the cage and ended up hanging from his ankle, creating a bizarre moment that added to the mayhem.
As Ripley attempted to take advantage of the situation by hitting Dominik with a kendo stick, Raquel Rodriguez made her surprise return after months away from WWE. Rodriguez attacked Ripley from behind and laid her out with a powerbomb, setting up Morgan to pin Ripley. However, the referee had witnessed the interference and called for a disqualification, signaling a DQ finish rather than allowing Morgan to retain via a clean pinfall.
Fightful Select reports, “It was implied that the original finish to Rhea vs. Liv was Liv winning with Raquel’s help. However the referee couldn’t justify not doing a DQ finish as he saw everything unfold.”
Rodriguez had been out of action since February, battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and her return was a major moment during the show. The original plan for the match reportedly involved Liv winning with Raquel’s help, but the referee, having seen the interference, felt he had no choice but to issue the DQ ruling.
With this controversial finish, WWE has set the stage for more drama on RAW, where the fallout from Raquel’s return and the disputed match result is sure to take center stage. Fans can expect further developments as WWE unpacks the consequences of this chaotic encounter.
