SUMMARY
- Rhea Ripley has officially vacated her Women's World Championship due to an injury.
- The Eradicator made this announcement on the April 15 episode of Monday Night RAW.
WrestleMania 40 ended just over a week ago, and WWE has already started building towards their next event, Backlash. The same process continued on the recent episode of Monday Night RAW, as Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley came out to open the show in front of a packed house in Montreal.
The Eradicator talked about the attack Liv Morgan carried out on her during last week’s RAW. But before all that, Rhea announced something that literally nobody from the audience saw coming. Mami revealed during her promo that she is officially vacating the Women’s World Championship due to a shoulder injury.
While sharing the unexpected news with the WWE Universe, Rhea Ripley said, “So, obviously, you guys know what’s going on right now, yeah?” I’m angry right now. I’m pissed off. You know why? Because I’ve been told that I need to vacate the one thing that means the most to me: my Women’s World Championship.”

It must be noted that all this was a result of Morgan’s attack on Rhea, as The Judgment Day star blamed Liv for being the person due to whom she’s now having to miss “quite a few months.” As Ripley has been forced to relinquish her title, it puts an end to her dominant title reign that started after she defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 2023.

Alongside the WWE Universe, Liv Morgan has also responded to The Eradicator’s announcement on RAW. During her interview with Cathy Kelley on the red brand’s recent episode, the in-ring star talked about Mami’s revelation of vacating the Women’s World Championship.
While doing so, Morgan stated that she isn’t able to understand why the pro wrestling fans are unhappy with her actions. She also talked about the incident when Mami took her out for action for an extended period of time and asked where the audience’s sympathy was at that time.

In addition to this, Liv also mentioned that all this is part of her revenge tour, and it is going to end only when she finally wins the prestigious title to reach the top of the women’s division. Amid these comments by the female star, it remains to be seen what’s her next move to accomplish her goal in WWE.
