When life is handing out lemons, make lemonade. And when women's champion Rhea Ripley went down with an injured shoulder and had to vacate her title, it gave WWE script writers an entire orchard to help the world pucker up to a new favorite.

Ripley defended her championship on the first night of Wrestlemania XL, defeating Becky Lynch, but just two days later she was attacked in the tunnels during an episode of Monday Night RAW by Liv Morgan. What ensued was something not many would've predicted. Dubbed by one analyst as Mid Morgan, the blond bombshell has "Mario Mushroom" leveled up her performance as she's apparently been given the perfect storyline as a conniving mastermind willing to go to any and all lengths for revenge. Wanting to decimate Ripley's faction, The Judgement Day, is one thing. Taking Ripley's man, Dom Mysterio, has been diabolical on a whole 'nother level.

The Morgan-Mysterio-Ripley Love Triangle is probably the WWE's best storyline going at the moment, far outshining Friday Night Smackdown's Cody Rhodes vs The New Bloodline headliner, which has become repetitive in the last few weeks waiting on the Roman Reigns' infusion. 

Things will all come to a head early next month at SummerSlam, when Morgan and Ripley tangle for (now) Morgan's championship belt. But how exactly did Morgan execute such a plan? Well, a love triangle has to have at least two willing participants and Twitter user @Key_WWE recently laid out the entire timeline of just how willing Mysterio has been through the entire thing.
