Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan have had limited joint appearances since Morgan won the Royal Rumble, partly due to an injury Dominik sustained on December 20. Although Dominik, who holds both the Intercontinental and AAA Mega Championship titles, attended a recent event, Morgan was noticeably absent from the scene.
Dominik injured his shoulder during a tag team match at Guerra de Titanes, where he teamed with El Grande Americano against Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix. He made a return to television last Monday by introducing Liv Morgan following her Royal Rumble victory, but she has not accompanied him to various wrestling events since then.
Details on Liv Morgan’s Absence in Mexico Shows
On Saturday, Dominik appeared at the Auditorio Jose Maria Arteaga in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico, performing for AAA on Fox, while Morgan did not attend. She was also missing from SmackDown last Friday, where Dominik appeared without her. In a phone conversation shared by AAA on X (formerly Twitter), Dominik explained why Morgan could not make the trip.
“Guerita, I already told you, you couldn’t come to this trip because you got to take care of your stuff on SmackDown,” Dominik said.
This statement clarifies that Morgan was occupied with duties related to SmackDown, preventing her from traveling to the Mexico event alongside Dominik.
Liv Morgan’s Recent Challenges Following Royal Rumble Win
Since winning the Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan has faced some difficult moments in the ring. She was unable to assist Raquel Rodriguez in capturing the Women’s World Championship during a RAW episode. Furthermore, during a tag team match on SmackDown against Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace, Morgan was struck by Rodriguez, adding to her recent struggles.
Liv Morgan Commends Sol Ruca’s Performance Post-Royal Rumble
In an interview on TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring podcast, Liv Morgan expressed admiration for Sol Ruca, an emerging star from NXT who also competed fiercely at the Royal Rumble, reaching the final three along with Morgan and Tiffany Stratton. Although Ruca‘s inexperience showed during the match, Morgan praised her innovative moves and potential.
“I think Sol Ruca is incredible. I’ve been watching her in NXT, I know she does amazing things. She does things that no one has ever seen before, she’s super innovative. I do believe she’s going to be a future champion multiple times over, but as great as she is, she’s not better than Liv Morgan,” Morgan said.
Sol Ruca was among several impressive young talents at the Royal Rumble, alongside Oba Femi, Lash Legend, Je’Von Evans, and Kiana James.
Impact and Outlook for Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio
Liv Morgan’s absence from recent events and her ongoing challenges after her Royal Rumble win highlight the complexities wrestlers face balancing performance, injury recovery, and storyline commitments. Dominik Mysterio’s explanation sheds light on the logistical constraints affecting Morgan’s appearances outside SmackDown. As both continue to navigate their careers, fans can expect Morgan to return to a more active schedule once her obligations and recovery progress.
Dominik’s presence at major events, including those in Mexico, alongside his championship status keeps him in the spotlight, while Morgan’s recognition of emerging talents like Sol Ruca suggests an evolving competitive landscape in women’s wrestling.
