Liv Morgan has openly discussed the reason behind Dominik Mysterio absence from Liv Morgan WWE matches in recent weeks, shedding light on the change during several of her appearances on WWE television. While Morgan and Mysterio had frequently appeared together on WWE Raw before her short break, their on-camera partnership has shifted since her return to the show on May 26, leading some fans to question the dynamic between the two wrestlers.
Recent WWE Matches Without Dominik Mysterio Present
Returning to action, Morgan has competed both against Kairi Sane and in a three-way qualifier for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Notably, her on-screen boyfriend Dominik Mysterio was not by her side during these high-profile matches, which marked a departure from their usual routine of appearing together during in-ring segments. Their recent interactions have been limited to backstage segments rather than full match involvement.
Liv Morgan’s Statement on Dominik’s Absence
During a conversation on Raw Recap, Morgan was asked specifically about why Dominik Mysterio has not been seen at ringside in support. She provided a direct answer, stating she herself requested that Dominik stay backstage to allow her to focus solely on her own performance:
“I’ve asked Dominik to please, I know you care for me so much and you just want the best for me. But respectfully and lovingly, stay back and let me cook.”

Her comments suggest that the decision was mutual and rooted in respect for the evolving nature of her role in WWE since returning from her hiatus.
Recent Results and Ongoing Storylines
Since coming back after filming for her role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, Morgan has faced tough competition. She experienced losses in both her singles and qualifying matches, with Stephanie Vaquer qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match at the expense of Morgan and Ivy Nile. Mysterio has not been scheduled for the current Money in the Bank event either.
Possible Future Appearances and Developments
Reports have surfaced that both Morgan and Mysterio—members of The Judgment Day—may be considered for an appearance at WWE & AAA Worlds Collide, an event set for the same weekend as Money in the Bank. This suggests that, while not involved in the current main event storyline, both stars may play a role in future cross-promotional programming between wrestling organizations. Updates suggest this partnership could bring new directions for both Morgan and Mysterio as their WWE journeys continue.
What This Means for WWE Storylines
Liv Morgan’s decision to have Dominik Mysterio stay backstage highlights her intent to establish her in-ring independence while still maintaining a storyline connection with him. The adjustment could shape both wrestlers’ trajectories in future WWE and crossover events, with fans anticipating potential new developments in both their careers.
