Dominik Mysterio once again shocked the world with his actions, betraying Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam 2024.

#3. He was just waiting for a perfect moment

When Rhea Ripley made her return to Monday Night RAW, Dominik was unaware of her comeback, which was a surprise for him. This could explain why he decided not to engage with Mami directly, instead pretending to be in her corner to set up the perfect moment for betrayal.
This betrayal also suggests that when Dominik sided with Ripley on RAW, leaving Liv Morgan in tears, it was all part of their plan. The secret alliance between Liv and Dominik was waiting for the ideal moment to betray the Eradicator, which turned out to be SummerSlam 2024, during Ripley's Women's World title match against Morgan.
#2. To turn Rhea Ripley into a complete babyface
When Mami returned to Monday Night RAW, reports surfaced that she was listed as a babyface on the internal roster. This indicates WWE's intention to turn Rhea into a heroic character soon.
Dominik Mysterio's betrayal appears to accelerate this process. The betrayal at SummerSlam could be a strategic move by WWE to separate Dominik and Rhea, allowing the Eradicator to fully transition into a babyface star.
#1. Dominik Mysterio loves to be with Liv Morgan more than Rhea
When Rhea Ripley was on hiatus from WWE, Liv Morgan made multiple attempts to align Dominik with her, but Dirty Dom initially rejected her advances and remained loyal to Mami. However, over time, things began to change, and the Judgment Day member started to enjoy the company of the Women's World Champion.
Liv even helped Dominik get revenge on his father when they defeated Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega in a mixed tag team match on the red brand.
The betrayal at SummerSlam 2024 could be because Dominik Mysterio now prefers Liv Morgan's company over Rhea Ripley's, leading him to publicly take her side at SummerSlam.
