She says her revenge tour is going how it's planned and there is no question who runs RAW. She plays a clip from last week where they beat up The Terror Twins. She promised to take everything from Rhea Ripley and that's what she did. The championship, Judgement Day and Dominik Mysterio are all hers. She says in two weeks she will take more... and Rhea Ripley's music hits. Ripley tells Morgan to shut up and says she's not going to hit Morgan tonight and the crowd chants "Mami" and it's pissing Morgan off. Ripley says she has something to tell Morgan, she tells Dom to get out of her face before she makes him get out of her face. Morgan brings up how much she cares about Priest and if she cared that much for Dom he would have stayed with her. Liv says she will beat Ripley because she is smarter than Ripley. Ripley says she's fully cleared for Bad Blood and she has a message for both Dom and Liv. She tells Dom since he likes to stick his nose in her business for the belt, Adam Pearce has decided that Dominik Mysterio will be behind bars for the match. Dom will be hanging in a shark cage for their match at Bad Blood. Ripley tells Morgan at Bad Blood she will win back the one thing she never lost, which is her Women's World Championship. Ripley tells Morgan that she takes back what she said before and head butts Morgan and leaves the ring.
