25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2024

13. Rhea Ripley Vs Liv Morgan (WWE Bad Blood)

In late-2024, WWE started adding closing credits to their output.

Predictably, Paul Levesque raced to the front of the queue to have his name out there rather than the hundreds of other largely unknown people it takes to put together a single night of WWE action. As a result, he can also take the heat for a production and finish gaffe that left Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez looking foolish at October's Bad Blood PLE.

The finish called for Rodriguez to attack Ripley and allow Morgan to score yet another win over her. Instead, the run-in took place in full view of the referee and the confused wrestlers staged a phantom pinfall finish overtop of the disqualification that had already been called. Raquel in particular looked furious and/or bewildered at what had happened, and Morgan not winning was less than ideal considering the impending direction of the story.
