Dominik Mysterio may have proven to be quite the lady’s man on WWE TV, but that isn’t a concern for his real-life wife. In 2022, Dominik began an on-screen romance with Rhea Ripley, only to betray his ‘Mami’ at this year’s SummerSlam. Nowadays, Mysterio can be found arm-in-arm with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, who has dubbed the multi-generational Superstar her ‘Daddy Dom.’
“She’s cool with it surprisingly, yeah, she honestly been super cool. She’s my ride-or-die. We’ve been together since we were 14. So as long as I let her know ‘Hey, this is what’s going to go down,’ She’s like ‘Alright, cool.'”
“After the kiss with Liv, her first text to me… she’s like ‘Dude, I found a tarantula in the garage!'”
Mysterio’s on-screen performances with Ripley and Morgan are just that, a performance, and Marie Juliette knows where Dirty Dom’s heart truly lies. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Monday Night Raw’s resident Cassanova, and his on-screen fling with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
As WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan is one of WWE’s most featured performers and appears each week with Dominik Mysterio by her side. Next year, WWE SummerSlam 2025 will come to Morgan’s homestate of New Jersey, and the Judgment Day member has a dream match in mind.
While speaking during a Fanatics Fest autograph session over WWE Bad Blood weekend, Liv was about her dream match for SummerSlam and hopes to step in the ring with AJ Lee.
”My dream match for SummerSlam in New Jersey is myself and Daddy Dom vs. CM Punk and AJ Lee. We’re two Jersey girls, Dominik hates CM Punk and I think that could be [a great match.]”
Dominik certainly has his reasons for being opposed to CM Punk, as the Best in the World defeated Mysterio twice in December 2023, the first WWE matches for Punk since returning to the promotion. Punk recently put Mysterio’s name forward as one of the stars he plans to face after his feud with Drew McIntyre is finished.
Liv Morgan says her dream match is herself and Dominik Mysterio vs CM Punk and AJ Lee at SummerSlam 2025 in New Jersey.
Morgan isn’t the only Superstar eager to see AJ Lee return as Cora Jade and Bayley recently shared their support for the idea on X. Lee, who hasn’t competed since the March 30, 2015, edition of WWE Raw, had the following to say.
@YaOnlyLivvOnce i adore you goddesses and your peer pressure
CM Punk has said he’d love to see his wife return to WWE, but he would not force the idea on her as such a choice will be her decision alone. With WWE SummerSlam 2025 set to be a two-night event in East Rutherford, the promotion will be needing a stacked card to fill both nights of the show. Stay tuned to SEScoops to see whether AJ Lee is part of that card as Liv Morgan hopes.
According to Fightful Select, the original plan for the bout was Liv winning the match with help from a returning Raquel Rodriguez. Things went into disarray when the referee called for the bell before that:
“It was implied that the original finish to Rhea vs. Liv was Liv winning with Raquel’s help. However the referee couldn’t justify not doing a DQ finish as he saw everything unfold.”
The shark cage match at Bad Blood saw Dominik Mysterio being suspended in a cage at the ringside while Rhea and Liv battled inside the squared circle.
Prison Dom managed to pickpocket the lock and opened the cage door towards the ending of the match. While the door was open, Mysterio had nowhere to go because of his fear of heights.
Ripley took advantage of the situation and brought Liv outside to punish her right in front of Dom’s eyes. After a while, Dom couldn’t take it anymore and he tried to get out. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he forgot about the chain securing his leg to the cage and he found himself hanging in the air.
Rhea Ripley took the opportunity to get her revenge on her ex, and she picked up a kendo stick to punish Dominik. This is when Raquel Rodriguez made her return and she blindsided Rhea.
Raquel then threw Ripley back into the ring and after an awkward pause, the bell rang to signal the end of the bout. Rodriguez unsure of what to do after the sudden change in plans, still put Liv on top of Ripley for the pin but then picked Morgan up.
Rodriguez had been diagnosed with Mast cell activation syndrome in January this year. She competed at the Elimination Chamber in February despite her condition but was pulled from the active roster in March.
Rhea Ripley’s efforts to finally get retribution on Liv Morgan went up in flames at WWE Bad Blood 2024, courtesy of the returning Raquel Rodriguez.
In the penultimate match of the night, Ripley challenged WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. With Dominik Mysterio confined to a shark cage suspended in the air, Ripley dominated Morgan and it appeared that a new champion would be crowned at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Things went from bad to worse for ‘Dirty Dom’ as his efforts to aid Morgan resulted in him dangling by his foot from the floor of his cage. Taking a break from Liv, Ripley delivered some painful kendo stick shots to Dominik before Rodriguez attacked Ripley. This attack resulted in Ripley winning by disqualification, meaning that Liv Morgan is still the Women’s World Champion.
Rodriguez had been out of action since February and has been battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome this year. MCAS is a condition in which the patient experiences repeated episodes of the symptoms of anaphylaxis, such as allergies. These episodes may include hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and severe diarrhea.
Rodriguez has a history with Liv Morgan and the pair are former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will be officially brought in as the Judgment Day’s newest member, but her intervention at Bad Blood certainly proved fortunate for Liv Morgan and her reign as WWE Women’s World Champion.
For the rest of the NFL season, I’ll be doing a pro football round-up and how the pro wrestling world collides with the stars and teams of the National Football league.
Unlike Week 4, Seth Rollins is very happy with his Chicago Bears after being “eliminated” from Lucas Oil Field courtesy of TY Hilton and Sheamus actually remembered to bring his “Luck of The Irish” for the football team he tried to hype (albiet collegiate football). Let’s get to it!
Seth Rollins’ Bears Get The Win, Set To Appear On NBC Sunday Night Football
More often than not, Seth Rollins has found himself on the losing end as a Bears fan, but this week his favorite team recorded a solid W against the Los Angeles Rams. Seth was quick to celebrate on social media and reveal that he’d be a special guest on tonight’s NBC Sunday Night Football to celebrate.
I love football!!
And I’m gonna talk about it tonight on @SNFonNBC!!!
Sheamus has been making his way all across the football hash marks and although this particular moment isn’t tied to the NFL, it’s tough to not feel the “Luck of the Irish” for “The Celtic Warrior.” Sheamus was in South Bend, IN to motivate Notre Dame as they clashed with the Louisville Cardinals. His hyping the Tennessee Titans fans last week didn’t get anything going, but Notre Dame sure was feeling a “fight night” as they handled Louisville 31-24.
“Bayley’s Biggest Fan” decided to follow in her hero’s footsteps by actually getting into the wrestling ring, and Izzy Moreno did just that on Sunday. Before the Houston Texans took on Tony Khan’s Jacksonville Jaguars, Izzy had her own kind of competition outside Houston Stadium. Moreno successfully defined her Mission Pro Championship Title in a singles match before kickoff.
You guys!!!!!!
I WRESTLED AND DEFENDED THE @MissionProWres TITLE AT NRG STADIUM!!!
Thunder Rosa Officiated A Match Between Simon Miller & Texan’s Mascot Toro
Moreno was not alone in Houston. One of her mentors. Thunder Rosa also happened to be in attendance for the big game as CJ Stroud and his Texans got the W against The Jaguars. However, Rosa made sure “Toro The Bull,” the Texans mascot, also got the W against Simon Miller in a match before the game.
Drew McIntyre didn’t endear himself anymore to Seth Rollins as he and Liv Morgan tagged up to hang with the Indianapolis Colts before they battled the Pittsburgh Steelers. McIntyre and Morgan joined Pat McAfee to hype the Royal Rumble coming to the city in 2025.
Someone on the Washington Commanders social media team is a wrestling fan, but MJF would like some residuals. In hype for their Monday Night Football game against the Bengals for week three, a video was posted on TikTok of MJF referring to the Midwest as “Mid”, but the team logo was superimposed over Max’s face. In classic heel fashion MJF took exception to the Commanders using his likeness.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has garnered a polarizing reputation among Jets fans, but one decision that was certainly good for wrestling fans is that WWE SummerSlam will be coming to MetLife Stadium early August of 2025. Johnson took to his X account to express his excitement for the two-night rendezvous with WWE as the Jets prepped to take on the Denver Broncos this Sunday. However, the Jets didn’t ride that moment and lost to Denver 10-9.
Quite the rebound for pro wrestling related NFL stories as the teams tied to stars came out of week mostly unscathed except those darn Jets! With Seth both representing the Bears and the Ravens the pro wrestling NFL connection stands at 5-1 for week three
After two weeks, wrestling related NFL stories stand at 6-5.
As the reigning WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan is one of the most featured stars on TV and is regularly afforded screen time on Monday Night Raw. Liv can also be found at WWE’s live events but is far from happy about TKO’s reported plans to reduce the number of these untelevised shows.
TKO President Mark Shapiro told those at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference this month that WWE will be cutting down on the number of its “low-margin marginally profitable, untelevised events,” and predicts that just 200 events will happen next year, compared to over 300 in 2022. Speaking to the New York Post, Morgan shared her disappointment over the news.
“I’m sad to see them kind of go a little bit because the house shows are so much fun and it’s so so much more intimate. House shows are truly for the love of the game.”
Morgan added that it was at untelevised events in 2017, 18, and 19 that she truly came into her own as an in-ring talent, something that younger stars won’t have the same opportunity to do moving forward.
“I’m sad to see that go for the newer guys and girls coming in who aren’t going to be able to have that experience and have that reps at live events under that belt but it is what is. Time home is always nice.”
While WWE live events have been a staple for decades, TKO is focusing on its profit margin and believes live events aren’t just profitable enough. While live events will remain a fixture going forward, it may prove increasingly unlikely that WWE will roll up in your hometown.
As for Liv Morgan,her next major match will be broadcast and come at WWE Bad Blood where she’ll face Rhea Ripley with the Women’s World Championship on the line. Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage, theoretically keeping him from interfering despite an alleged fear of heights. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Liv Morgan and her ongoing ‘revenge tour’ in WWE.
Posted September 28th, 2024 in WWE. Tagged: Liv Morgan.
A lot happened after tonight’s episode of SmackDown from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma went off air.
The show featured not one but three dark matches including two women’s bouts. The first dark match saw Kairi Sane picking up a submission win over Chelsea Green.
Liv Morgan defended her Women’s title against Zelina Vega in the second dark match of the night. The two women had a lot of fun with the match. Zelina mocked Liv with her signature pose while Liv pulled out the Three Amigos to try and get the win. In the end, Morgan retained her title.
The final non-televised bout of the night featured Cody Rhodes taking on Austin Theory. Rhodes addressed the fans after his win and even held a fan’s baby for a while.
The SmackDown episode tonight saw some very interesting developments for The American Nightmare. The main event featured Kevin Owens and Randy Orton taking on The Bloodline.
KO had asked Rhodes not to come out for the match but the Undisputed WWE Champion still tried to help his friends. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused Owens and Orton to lose the bout.
Kevin Owens was visibly frustrated with Cody for this. Orton tried to make peace between the two but KO also shoved him, opening the possibility for some interesting story developments in the future.
Multiple top WWE stars including Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, and Drew McIntyre were in action in dark matches after this week’s episode of SmackDown from Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California went off air.
The first dark match saw Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World Championship against Lyra Valkyria. The Judgment Day member was able to retain her title at the end.
Drew McIntyre took on Jey Uso in a singles match after this. During one point in the bout, Drew faked a leg injury to sneak attack Uso and get the upper hand.
The Yeet man however came back. He actually managed to beat the former world champion with a spear. McIntyre was unhappy with the outcome and he threw a tantrum before heading to the back.
The final dark match saw Cody Rhodes defeating Carmelo Hayes in a singles match. The Undisputed WWE Champion brought a young fan into the ring after the bout to celebrate with him, showing once again why he is the face of the company.
The main event of the show saw Kevin Owens teaming up with the Street Profits to take on The Bloodline. This came after DIY, who were originally supposed to team up with KO, were brutally attacked by the Samoan faction backstage before the bout.
The main event match ended in a disqualification when the referee couldn’t control the chaos anymore. The trio of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu continued wreaking havoc even after the bell rang.
DIY were also taken out when they tried to help Owens. It wasn’t until Cody Rhodes came out with a chair that things evened out. The American Nightmare sent the heels retreating.
WWE once again teased Kevin Owens turning on his friend after he grabbed the chair right before the show went off air. In the end, the Prizefighter shook hands with Rhodes and the broadcast ended with both the stars standing tall.
As the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, WWE boasts one of the largest and most impressive rosters with talent from across the globe. WWE has re-signed many top names this year alone and now the company reportedly has approached three of its top women from its main roster.
WWE has approached Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, and Nia Jax about new contracts in recent weeks, PW Insider reports. The company has also reportedly approached talent who still have plenty of time left on their contracts as part of a “very aggressive” strategy to lock talent into new deals.
WWE has locked in several prominent names into new contracts in 2024, keeping the ‘Renaissance Era’ stocked with top-tier talent. In April, Drew McIntyre re-signed with WWE, putting to bed fan speculation that he would be signing with AEW. McIntyre’s re-signing not only saw the Scottish Warrior get a new contract, but also a sword gifted to him by TKO board member and WWE’s ‘Final Boss’ Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
More recently, Randy Orton confirmed reports that he has re-signed with WWE with a deal that should keep him around until 2029. While Orton could have seen his previous deal frozen due to his time away due to his back injury, WWE reportedly felt it was fairer to let Orton negotiate a new deal given how much the handling of contracts has changed.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Sheamus has signed a contract extension with WWE. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on WWE and its effort to keep top talent with new contracts.
On October 5, WWE will host its first Bad Blood PLE in over 20 years from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Surprises have been teased for the show, and on this week’s RAW, the card for the highly-anticipated event started coming together.
Hell in a Cell: CM Punk Vs. Drew McIntyre
The feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been one of the hottest angles of 2024 and will come to a head at WWE Bad Blood. Not only will the pair settle the score in a rubber match, but it will be contested inside Hell in a Cell. The iconic structure has been used at all WWE Bad Blood PLEs so far and that tradition will continue on October 5.
At WWE SummerSlam, Damian Priest (alongside Rhea Ripley) was betrayed by The Judgment Day, as Finn Balor aided GUNTHER against the Archer of Infamy. On this week’s Raw, Balor challenged Priest to a match at WWE Bad Blood which the former World Champion was quick to accept.
Even the numbers game wasn’t enough to stop the Terror Twins in Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest at Bash In Berlin.
Priest and Ripley had the crowd fully behind them as they took it to Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio over the course of their mixed tag match which was fourth on the card for the record-setting PLE. The offense for Ripley and Priest was impressive as the two made sure to hit a stereo Razor’s Edge on their enemies. It all looked over at that juncture, but the rest of Judgment Day came into play, attempting to stop the duo from getting the W.
With interferences from JD McDonagh, Finn Balor and Carlito, The Terror Twins’ chances at winning looked terribel, but their were several false finishes which included a 619 attempt by Dominik Mysterio. Dom looked like he had Damian dead to rights as both men were brawling on the commentary tables, but Priest put Dirty Dom down after he took out the rest of Judgment Day. This in turn, isolated Liv as she slowly turned around to get a headbutt, a Riptide and the pinfall loss.
Post-fight, Wade Barrett said on commentary that he didn’t think this feud was over, so one would expect the grudge to continue.
The first four matches on the card had all babyfaces winning their respective bouts as Cody Rhodes defeated an also babyface in Kevin Owens while Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and CM Punk put Drew McIntyre in his place in the strap match.
Rhea Ripley will certainly have added incentive to continue her feud with Morgan considering Liv still holds onto the WWE Women’s World Championship. There’s plenty of “bad blood” between the two so one could speculate they’ll be battling each other at the PLE with that very name,
Speaking to Us, Morgan addressed the injury she suffered, which resulted in her being written off TV with an attack by Rhea Ripley. This time away from the ring provided the 30-year-old Superstar with an opportunity to reassess her place in WWE, especially after years of feeling like she didn’t truly belong—feelings that had plagued her since her days in WWE NXT.
“It wasn’t until I came back from my injury this past year that I went from like, ‘I’m lucky to be here’ to ‘I’m that b***h. I don’t know what that switch was… It wasn’t until I had those months off where I only had to be myself.”
Morgan has certainly proven to be that b***h in 2024 after capturing the WWE Women’s World Champion at WWE King And Queen of the Ring from Becky Lynch. She solidified her reign by successfully defending the title against Lynch in a steel cage match on RAW—a match that marked The Man’s final WWE appearance.
Post-Berlin, Morgan will continue to defend her WWE Women’s World Championship on TV and at Premium Live Events. With the full support of Judgment Day and her ever-improving in-ring skills, Morgan’s reign shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Rey Mysterio had some choice words for Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan during this week’s RAW, which have now been translated into English. In the show’s opening segment, the Judgment Day was interrupted by Rey and the other members of the Latino World Order.
Rey delivered a promo that saw him switch back and forth between English and Spanish. Thanks to Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, we know exactly how much Rey disapproves of his son’s relationship with the WWE Women’s World Champion.
Rey Mysterio just shamed his son for dating a white woman (güera) on the white man's cable TV, and he got away with it because most of y'all don't speak Spanish 🤣🤣
Ironically, this isn’t the first time that a Mysterio has used being bilingual to get comments to air that may not have been broadcast in English. In the run-up to SummerSlam 2024, Dominik had some scathing words for Morgan, as he called her a “dumbass” and a “b***.” This would ultimately turn out to be a ruse as the pair confirmed their relationship at the PLE in Cleveland, Ohio.
WWE RAW’s Move to Netflix
Mysterio may not have to self-censor on Monday Night RAW next year when WWE’s flagship weekly show moves to Netflix. The blockbuster deal will see RAW move off broadcast television and is estimated at $5 billion over ten years.
Much has been said about potential changes to the red brand once the moves occurs. The show will no longer be held to network rules regarding censorship or adhere to strict timing cues that they currently have to work with on the USA Network. John Cena has confirmed his role as part of RAW’s move to Netflix, as the WWE icon will be kicking off his retirement tour.
Judgment Day has had its ups and downs, but it’s telling that this faction’s show-long angle wound up threading its way through SummerSlam, one of the biggest events on the WWE calendar. Indeed, in the men’s and women’s divisions alike on Monday Night Raw, Judgment Day has been a huge force, holding its own with the World Heavyweight Championship scene and drama between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk as one of the most buzzworthy parts of the brand.
One of the more interesting aspects of the creative success surrounding Judgment Day is that their history is in many ways repeating itself. That’s not only in having the Women’s World and Raw Tag Team Championships on lock—a familiar position for the group over the last year—but also in a number of specific choices around their booking that are playing out more successfully the second time around.
Judgment Day Has Ousted Its Longest Standing Members Again
(via WWE)
One of the defining elements of Judgment Day as a unusual wrestling stable is that they kicked out their founder and first leader Edge just a couple months into the group’s run. That choice certainly appeared to hurt the group in the short-term, as they lost their lone bona fide main eventer and undisputed biggest name.
Nonetheless, Judgment Day rallied, particularly after Triple H took the reins of creative. Rhea Ripley came to dominate her show’s women’s division, while Dominik Mysterio found unlikely success as a heel fans loved to hate. JD McDonough is a talented hand who got a nice rub from joining the group and an immediate sense of identity, as opposed to getting lost in the main roster shuffle like he otherwise might have. Finn Balor was a steady de facto top name for the group, and Damian Priest grew into a role in which he arguably superseded Balor for star power. R-Truth injected some comedy, and working in a big-bodied lackey role wound up being a pretty perfect role for Carlito at this stage of his career.
Judgment Day started when Damian Priest helped Edge beat AJ Styles at WrestleMania 38, and Rhea Ripley was the next recruit. So it is that, in the group exiling Priest and Ripley at SummerSlam, they are staying true their history. They’ve booted their longest standing members and again reinvented themselves around their newer participants, not least of all including Liv Morgan enlisting in their ranks.
Dominik Mysterio Is Disloyal Again… And It Cuts Deeper This Time
It can be difficult to remember now, but in 2022, Dominik Mysterio was a white meat babyface and he floundered in the role—showing little personality and facing fan backlash for the sense he only had a featured spot on account of who his dad was. His heel turn and betrayal of his father, culminating in a showdown at WrestleMania 39, completely changed fans’ perspectives of Dirty Dom.
On one hand, betraying one’s father is without question a more profound act of disloyalty than betraying one’s girlfriend. However, it’s worth noting than in terms of Mysterio’s full-time, on screen work with WWE, his partnerships with Rey and with and Rhea Ripley weren’t actually so disparate in length, each running around two years.
More important than sheer time, there’s the matter of heat. When Dominik turned on his father it was a welcome change because their partnership felt stale and fans didn’t really buy into the younger Mysterio as a face. By contrast, there’s a real case to be made that the love triangle angle Dominik worked with Ripley and Liv Morgan was the single hottest storyline WWE had to offer from the spring through the summer.
There were certainly a fair share of fans who saw it coming when Dirty Dom turned on Mami. Nonetheless, the sight of him making out with Morgan in the aisle way while a beaten Ripley seethed was positively electric. Whether it’s good creative, good performances, or a simple matter of fans being along for the ride for the entirety of the couple’s kayfabe relationship, there’s little question that instance of Dominik’s betrayal hit even harder than his first.
Judgment Day Will Get Its Comeuppance
When Judgment Day kicked out Edge, it became the focal point of both the group’s and the rest of The Rated R Superstar’s WWE run that they’d get into each other’s business. It all culminated in Edge besting Finn Balor inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 39.
There are plenty of permutations for WWE to run through in the current feud between Judgment Day and The Terror Twins. However things play out, though, it seems very likely things won’t be over until Rhea Ripley destroys Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio—probably getting her title back in the process. Meanwhile, at least one high-profile one-on-one showdown between Balor and Damian Priest also feels like an inevitability.
Whatever happens, Triple H has demonstrated a strength for booking factions who get heat, but also get what’s coming to them in the long term. Judgment Day looks set to move through that cycle once again.
Rumors Of Judgment Day’s Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
When Judgment Day booted Edge, the naysayers were quick to jump on them, suggesting the group would never last. Indeed, it did feel like they were on life support for a while as the subsequent feud with The Ultimate Opportunist got stretched thin and the stable’s successes were few and far between.
The faction bounced back with a vengeance, though, becoming one of the most provocative parts of WWE programming, particularly from WrestleMania 40 to the present moment. Coming out of SummerSlam , rumors flew again that with Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest splintering, the stable might be over, or the remaining heels might rebrand under another name. Once again, the group wasn’t done quite yet, with Judgment Day vs. The Terror Twins really clicking in these weeks to follow.
It appears that this last piece—of fans sticking a fork in Judgment Day only for their part of WWE programming to reemerge, stronger than ever–has been the most defining part of the stable’s story. Who knows how much longer they’ll carry on, but the audience should understand by now never to count them out.
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is not yet done with her ‘Revenge Tour’.
She told TMZ Sports that there’s still some gas left in the tank and she is not willing to put an end to the ‘tour’. While Morgan initially said that her Revenge Tour is complete, she admitted that she’s thought over the idea again. She has some more ideas in mind with the ‘Revenge Tour.’
“Right now, I don’t think it’s over ’cause I still think I have a little gas left in the tank,” she said.
Morgan launched her Revenge Tour after she returned in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match and had her sights set on then-Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, who took her out of action.
Liv Morgan managed to seek revenge on ‘The Eradicator’ after sidelining the latter with an attack. Morgan had been trying to steal everything from Ripley, including Dominik Mysterio. Liv Morgan had earlier captured the Women’s World title and after pursuing ‘Dirty Dom’ for weeks, Morgan got what she wanted. She managed to ‘steal’ Dominik Mysterio from Ripley.
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is currently riding high on her “Revenge Tour.” She kicked off her rise in the Monday Night Raw women’s roster by defeating Becky Lynch to win the title at King & Queen Of The Ring on May 25. Thus far, she has successfully defended her championship three times, including against bitter rival Rhea Ripley. The champion remains steadfast in continuing her reign and remaining on top of the women’s division.
In an interview with Sirius XM Busted Open’s Dave LeGreca, Morgan opened up about her career shift this year to being a “Heel.” She believes this is her time to shine in the company and is happy with her creative direction.
“…I feel like I’ve worked my whole for the success that I’ve had these four or five months, I’m just happy,” she said. “I really don’t know how else to put it. I’m happy. I feel like I put in the work. I feel like there is a difference between it’s your turn, and it’s your time, and I feel like this is my time.”
– Liv Morgan, Busted Open Radio
The champion noted that Grammy-nominated artist Jelly Roll told her it was her time at SummerSlam on August 3. Morgan’s latest action of stealing Ripley’s boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio, and aligning with the Judgement Day(Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Carlito & Mysterio) has sparked interest from fans on how WWE plans to continue her storyline next.
Liv Morgan On Her Ongoing Revenge Tour Storyline
Morgan’s latest title defense came by defeating “The Eradicator” at SummerSlam, with assistance from Mysterio. To add to the insult, the champion and “Dirty Dom” made out after the match to further embarrass Ripley. WWE’s decision to align Morgan with her new boyfriend and the rest of the Judgement Day has further cemented her status as one of the biggest “Heels” on the roster.
When speaking on her current “Revenge Tour” storyline, she expressed that she is happy with the reception from fans about the feud.
“…I’m just enjoying everyone watching and tuning in. I’m enjoying people loving it. I’m enjoying people hating it. It seems like it’s quite polarizing, and so it’s just fun to see how everyone reacts to what we are doing.”
– Liv Morgan, Busted Open Radio
Feuding with Rhea Ripley
Elsewhere in the interview, Morgan also discussed how the storyline of getting revenge is intriguing to fans because it is relatable. She pointed out that her issues with Ripley are unique because her actions could deemed justifiable because of what “Mamí” did to the champion in the past.
“…I feel like it’s something that maybe people can relate to. You know, getting revenge. Getting their lick back. Getting back at someone that hurt them. That wronged them, or maybe they didn’t get back at that person, and they wished that they did. I’m just being as true to myself as I can in this moment, and I’m just happy that everything went exactly the way that I said that it would.”
– Liv Morgan, Busted Open Radio
The WWE Women’s World Champion’s “Revenge Tour” will next involve teaming up with “Dirty Dom” to take on Ripley and Damian Priest at Bash In Berlin on August 31. The mixed tag team match will put Morgan and Mysterio’s relationship to the test against the wrath of their opponents.
WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was at The Crow premiere Tuesday night at Village East Cinema in New York City. The reigning Women’s World Champion flaunted her title as she walked the red carpet and posed for eager photographers. Morgan recently signed with Paradigm talent agency.
The Crow, in theaters this Friday (8/23), is a reboot of the 1994 cult classic and directed by Rupert Sanders. Bill Skarsgård portrays Eric Draven, a musician resurrected to avenge his and his fiancée Shelly’s murders, played by FKA Twigs.

Dirty Dom got a beating after this week’s episode of SmackDown from BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma went off air.
The post-SummerSlam episode of the Blue Branded show followed up on the events coming out of the PLE, with names such as Roman Reigns making their return to the brand.
If that wasn’t enough, the audience in attendance also got to see a bonus match featuring Raw stars Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio after the broadcast ended.
The duo faced the team of Braun Strowman and Kairi Sane in a mixed tag team match and Sane ended up pinning the Women’s World Champion to win the bout for her team:
The opening segment featured the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes being interrupted by Solo Sikoa. Sikoa demanded a rematch for the title but Rhodes said that he had no claim over it.
When the Bloodline surrounded Cody, Kevin Owens came out to help him, sending the group retreating. The American Nightmare then offered a title shot to KO instead but he refused, saying that a title match needs to be earned.
The main event of the show again featured The Bloodline with Solo calling out Roman Reigns for costing him the world title match on Saturday. The Head of The Table made his way out and he single handedly took out the faction.
The show also featured names such as the new US Champion LA Knight, Jade Cargill and more. You can check out the full SmackDown results here.
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan has found the funny side to one young fan’s despair over what transpired at WWE SummerSlam 2024. The August 3, PLE saw Morgan retain her title against Rhea Ripley after Dominik Mysterio betrayed his ‘Mami.’
Morgan and Mysterio locked lips after the match, much to the dismay of one young fan who has gone viral on TikTok. The clip in question shows the young fan crying as Morgan and Mysterio celebrate after the match.
This video has gained a lot of attention with over 181,000 views on the original video and many more on other platforms. The fan has also been noticed by those in WWE with RAW announcer Samantha Irvin comparing her reaction to Survivor Series 1996.
When wrestling correspondent Stephanie Hypes pointed the finger of blame squarely at Morgan, the reigning Women’s World Champion found the matter very funny.
Morgan’s reaction marks a significant shift for Liv, who has in the past taken a much gentler approach to fans being upset. In 2023, a fan at an episode of SmackDown was left in tears after Liv was beaten, ironically by Rhea Ripley. The young fan was taken backstage where she got the chance to meet with the then-face Liv as seen in the touching interaction below.
What’s Next?
On this week’s RAW, Morgan was officially welcomed into the new Judgment Day which consists of Liv, Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Carlito, and Finn Balor. The faction launched an attack on Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley in the closing moments of the show though Morgan was lucky to avoid being put through a table by the Australian.
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan has joined the list of Superstars to ink a deal with the Paradigm Talent Agency.
Joe Otterson of Variety reports that Morgan has signed with the agency that will pursue opportunities for her in the entertainment industry. Morgan joins CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and Tiffany Stratton as WWE talent who have inked with Paradigm. Morgan continues to be represented by attorney Brad Small at Fox Rothschild.
Though best known for her years as a WWE Superstar, Morgan has made a name for herself outside the squared circle. In 2023, Morgan was part of crime comedy thriller The Kill Room which featured major names including Uma Thurman, Joe Manganiello, Maya Hawke, and Samuel L. Jackson. Morgan also played herself in an episode of Chucky that did not go well for the Superstar as seen in the clip below.
Morgan’s work out of the ring has seen her appear on several reality shows including Total Divas and Miz & Mrs. In October 2022, Morgan said that she was trying to “finagle or finesse” her way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though no such role has emerged. Notable names from WWE already in Marvel films include Triple H (Blade: Trinity) and Batista (Guardians of the Galaxy.) Seth Rollins will be next to join the world of Marvel with an unspecified role in Captain America: Brave New World.
The New and improved Judgement Day is here. SummerSlam saw the implosion of the group’s most recent incarnation, with Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest getting betrayed by Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor respectively. The big question coming out of the show was about the future of the faction and we got some answers on the latest episode of WWE Raw from CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
An angry Damian Priest stormed to the ring during the show and challenged Finn Balor to come out and confront him, although Balor did not show up. Priest cut a promo about how he had found a family in Judgement Day before confirming his face turn saying that all the fans were his family now.
Balor finally appeared on the Titan Tron and explained how their group was never supposed to have a leader until Damian won the World Title. Balor reminded the former champion that he cost him a world title opportunity last year and said that JD McDonagh will fight Priest on his behalf.
The former Bullet Club leader told Damian Priest that he will let Priest feel safe and comfortable before striking again and said that he won’t be alone. Balor then introduced the world to the new Judgement Day as Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Carlito, and McDonagh all walked into the frame.
The match between McDonagh and Priest took place later in the night with Carlito being at the ringside. The bout ended in a disqualification however, when Balor made a surprise appearance and blindsided Priest. The rest of Balor’s teammates joined him in attacking the former World Champion. This continued until Rhea Ripley’s music hit and she came down to make the save.
Liv and Dominik tried to retreat but Rhea caught Morgan and sent her crashing through the ring post twice. The Mami looked to deliver a Razor’s Edge on Morgan through the announce table but Dom saved her. Rhea then got back into the ring and delivered a headbutt to McDonagh. Priest followed it up with a South of Heaven and the segment ended with the two stars hugging each other.
Following this latest shakeup, the new Judgment Day does not contain a single member of the original group, led by Edge (Adam Copeland)
WWE SummerSlam 2024 is in the history books, and the fallout from the event will impact WWE storylines for months to come. The event perfectly balanced the start of a new era with the culmination of some long-running angles, giving us a lot to contemplate.
A number of new champions were crowned at the show who are expected to be leading the charge of the company for many years to come. On the other hand, some of the biggest talking points came from the completion of many long-running arks.
Dominik Mysterio’s betrayal of Rhea Ripley is one such storyline that has been in the making for a long time. We’ve been tracking the minute developments of this story for months. Now that Dirty Dom’s true intentions are out in the open, we can reflect on the whole thing to see the full picture.
Looking back at the marquee angle of WWE Raw, we can say that the signs were always there. Liv Morgan had the remote in her hand the whole time and she had been pulling the strings to get exactly what she wanted.
The biggest sign of it came at the King and Queen of The Ring PPV where Liv originally won the Women’s World Championship vacated by Rhea Ripley. At the time it appeared that Dominik Mysterio had accidentally helped Morgan win the title when he distracted the referee.
A new slow motion video of the whole angle, however, shows that the two were always working together. In the video below, you can see Dirty Dom signaling his new associate to take advantage of the situation as he discreetly does what he is the best at:
Morgan has also been in the ear of Finn Balor all this time. If you remember, Liv Morgan was the one who got Balor and JD McDonagh a rematch for the tag team championships, before helping them regain the title from The Miz and R Truth.
Even after The Mami had returned to TV to take charge of The Judgement Day, Finn and Liv were spotted together one too many times. When Liv Morgan destroyed the faction’s clubhouse, she left the things belonging to the former Universal Champion untouched:
Looking back at all the signs, it’s pretty clear that Liv Morgan has been the devil behind the details. She had been causing all the mayhem to fulfill her promise of taking everything that belonged to Ripley on her revenge tour.
Now that she has successfully taken the group apart, the big thing to see will be how Rhea Ripley reacts to this betrayal and what she has in store for the Women’s Champion now.

Rhea Ripley is not only fighting to score a victory over Liv Morgan tonight at the grand stage of SummerSlam, but she is also looking to eradicate the current champion for everything she has done.
SEScoops correspondent Ella Jay caught up with The Mami before the upcoming WWE PPV. They talked about Damian Priest proving himself as a champion, her WrestleMania 40 entrance and more.
When asked if she has any final messages for her SummerSlam opponent before their encounter in the Cleveland Browns Stadium tonight, Ripley told Morgan that there is no more hiding:
“You want to manipulate my family, and you want act like you’ve done nothing wrong. You want to play the victim. You want your fans to put over this little ‘victim mentality’ story of yours. Well, it all comes to an end at SummerSlam. There’s no more running, there’s no more hiding.”
Rhea Ripley hasn’t forgotten how Liv Morgan tried to win over Dominik Mysterio and the rest of The Judgement Day in her absence due to an arm injury. She pledged to absolutely eradicate the Women’s World Champion for everything she’s done:
“You can’t escape the nightmare that I’m gonna put on you, and when I walk out with my Women’s world Championship, then your little revenge tour? It ends. So say goodbye to everything you know and love, because you know me. You know me better than a lot of people and I will stop at nothing to absolutely eradicate you.”
While Rhea Ripley will be looking to take back the title she never lost in a match, the rest of The Judgement Day might find themselves hanging in the balance.
There have been indications that the group will be torn apart when they have to choose between the two female stars and this implosion may very well come at the PPV tonight.
WWE SummerSlam 2024 will kick off at 7 PM ET for US audience. For international start times, you can check our guide here.
Dominik switched between English and Spanish during his comments to Liv and thanks to Oscar The WWE Nexus Shirt Guy, we know exactly what he said.
“I hate you Liv! Are you stupid? Are you deaf? Do you not understand what I’m telling you b***h? I don’t like you! You’ve ruined my life, over and over again. I can’t understand what goes on in your head!Are you a dumbass or what? I can’t stand you! You’ve ruined everything for me, and now– I hate you with all of my life!”
With all seemingly forgiven between Rhea and Dominik, Mami can now focus on WWE SummerSlam 2024 where she will challenge Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World Championship. It remains to be seen what headspace the champ will be in come August 3 after this brutal bi-lingual rejection by ‘Daddy Dominik’ on RAW.
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is heartbroken after Judgment Day member Dominik Mysterio publicly humiliated her.
‘Dirty Dom’ has had enough of Morgan. He hasn’t reciprocated the feelings despite Morgan pursuing him for weeks. In a Raw Exclusive, Liv Morgan could be seen crying in the backstage area after Dominik Mysterio insulted her.
On the latest edition of Raw, Dominik came across Liv Morgan in the backstage area. When Rhea Ripley came to know about it, she angrily brought Dominik to the ring. ‘Mami’ called out Morgan, who was in the audience.
Liv Morgan once again expressed her feelings for Dominik and said men like Dominik prefer girls like her over Ripley. Dom stopped a furious Rhea Ripley before hurling insults at Morgan. He made it clear that he hated Morgan and that she meant nothing to him. This left the champ in tears.
Last month, Liv Morgan had shocked the fans when she locked lips with Dominik. In the following weeks, Morgan continued to flirt with Dominik. However, the situation got interesting when Rhea Ripley returned from a shoulder injury and interrupted Morgan, who almost kissed Dom again. Last week, ‘Mami’ continued to ignore Dominik but later in the show, she forgave him.
Morgan is all set to put the WWE Women’s World Championship on the line against Rhea Ripley at next month’s SummerSlam Premium Live Event.
