“Heel associate trapped in a cage” usually means one of three things for the match: 1. They still interfere anyway (most of them) 2. A third party interferes3. The babyface actually DOES win (Undertaker v Mankind at Survivor Series 1996) What makes things interesting for the direction of this feud is Saturday Night’s Main Event in December. I think it buys Morgan some time, because while I still can’t see the run going through to WM41, whatever happens here might give some juice to any potential WarGames match that happens before then at Survivor Series. Did somebody say third party?

I don't even know who beats Liv outside of Becky at this point. Rhea's tied up with... sigh... f***ING RAQUEL....

The match was actually quite fun. These two have good chemistry. But Bald Hunter over convoluted TF out of that finish. I think it was botched, to be honest. I feel like the ref didn't get to Dominik in time to be distracted by him, thus Rodriguez's interference basically happened right in front of him so they had call the DQ finish or else he would've looked like an absolute fool... Well, maybe a bigger one that he probably does at this moment, anyway. In terms of botches that would completely ruin things, it's not high up on that list as they still end up where they planned to go anyway, but it was still very awkward.

Yeah there are some reports coming out saying that it was a botch. The ref was supposed to be distracted, Raquel attacks, and Liv pins Rhea.
And rewatching it, the ref does seem like he realizes that it got messed up.

I've high hopes they get to hit all of their best hits w/ a hardcore stipulation as the climax of this feud without overcomplicated finishes. I truly believe even Dave f***ing Meltzer will rate that match above **** ~ ! We'll see. 👀

Rhea's ObLivion reversal was sick.

I hope Rhea focuses on Raquel for awhile now and Liv FINALLY gets to face other women.

*blows dust off of fantasy booking cap* ...The f***, the receipt says I got this in 2005? Anyways...
Ripley v Rodriguez is probably something they'll do at Crown Jewel, leading to a WarGames at Survivor Series between a Ripley team and a Morgan team, and then another title match at SNME.

I'm not a Raquel fan in the least, but they're now at least using her the way I think they should be.

That's roughly how I see it going. Raquel to be the monster heel that Team Rhea has to try and overcome (a little like the often-overlooked 2020 Wargames, funnily enough), then leading to a SNME title match.
Sucks the first beat of that story wasn't well told, but the rest could still make it worthwhile.

Pretty crazy how we're getting this long-ass feud based on TWO separate makeshift teams that were only made to get the women involved onto a WrestleMania undercard.

She’s got all the potential and I like her but she really needed something besides “I smile and have back muscles” as a character. Hopefully she finds something and she stays healthy, cause I think she can really click with people.

I do appreciate the continuity that Ripley is essentially facing off against all the enemies she's made in the last two years; Dom for her inconsistent treatment of him, Liv for numerous reasons, and Raquel for her attack costing her (and Morgan) the tag titles way back.
Rhea's a popular babyface, but it makes complete sense why she's in the situation she's in.

Shows you how much it mattered that Rhea and Liv made fans care about Liv 4 Brutality back in 2022 when they could have easily half-assed it.
