WWE is failing to tell the real story of Rhea Ripley versus Liv Morgan

The intense rivalry between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley stands out as the main women’s division feud within the WWE. They are given prominent spots, allowing them to fully develop their narrative. However, some fans find the storyline less satisfying as it seems to prioritize male perspective with the championship serving more as a prop rather than the central focus. This is regrettable, as WWE has the potential to create a compelling narrative between Morgan and Ripley that could rival some of the greatest rivalries in both the men’s division and across different promotions.
