Liv Morgan confronts Finn Balor after the recent episode of WWE RAW, highlighting her concerns about his current mindset. The exchange occurred backstage as Balor was seen engaging with video games instead of supporting his Judgment Day teammates in their pursuit of championships.
During RAW, Balor stepped into the spotlight by interrupting a CM Punk segment and requesting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk accepted, setting up a highly anticipated match between the two for next week’s RAW in Belfast, Northern Ireland. With recent surprises such as Drew McIntyre defeating Cody Rhodes to become WWE Champion on SmackDown, WWE fans are left to question if Balor’s underdog status will result in an upset.
Meanwhile, Morgan remains focused on competing for the Women’s Tag Team Championships with Roxxane Perez. She has been vocal about her desire for Balor to redirect his attention toward reclaiming top-tier success within WWE. In an interview on RAW Recap, she explained why the incident struck a nerve and shared her unique perspective on the group’s collective ambitions:
“We all want for Finn, we all want to succeed. My success is just as important as Roxanne’s, just as important Finn’s, just as important as JD’s, just as important as Raquel’s, just as important as Dominik’s. All our successes are equally as important.”

Morgan elaborated on Balor’s history in WWE, noting the surprising contrast between his achievements and his recent behavior:
“To see Finn go from NXT Champion, Tag Team Champion, United States Champion, World Champion, Grand Slam Champion to playing video games, not even watching our segments, not even watching us go out, on behalf of the Judgment Day, because Judgment Day runs Monday Night Raw.”
– Liv Morgan, Women’s World Champion
She questioned Balor’s priorities, emphasizing her sense of urgency for change within the group:
“So yeah, seeing Finn sitting there being fine playing video games as we’re chasing gold, Raquel’s chasing gold, JD’s injured, Dominik’s injured. Yeah, it was a little bit odd to see him be okay with just playing video games, so I had to say something, and I’m glad that I did because look, he went out there less than ten minutes later and took initiative.”
– Liv Morgan, Women’s World Champion
Balor’s subsequent actions on RAW, including his promo vowing to recapture gold for the Judgment Day faction, appeared to mark a shift in his attitude. His renewed determination sparked speculation among fans online, with some sensing the possibility of a character change or major storyline push in the coming year.
Finn Balor’s WWE Main Roster Journey and Triple H’s Original Vision
Balor’s main roster debut in July 2016 was a milestone, as he quickly captured the inaugural Universal Championship by defeating Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, only to be forced to surrender the title a day later due to a shoulder injury. Since then, the Irish superstar has struggled to regain that early momentum, spending extended periods in WWE’s midcard and even returning to NXT for a brief stint. Despite his reputation as one of WWE’s most skilled in-ring performers, Balor has not consistently been placed at the forefront of storylines in recent years.
Triple H’s comments from December 2015 continue to resonate, highlighting expectations that Balor would be fully supported upon joining the main roster. The architect of NXT, Triple H stated:
“I hate taking a guy like Finn Balor and saying, ‘Hey look, you’re the band-aid to hold us over until these other guys come back and then we’ll see from there. If we don’t have that game plan in place when we call these guys up, especially a guy like Finn Balor, then it’s not the right time. You need to have something in your mind and hopefully a long-term plan in place that gets them to where you want them to be. Or at least that would be the goal.”

Despite reports suggesting Balor might be elevated last year, he spent much of 2025 as part of a tag team with JD McDonagh rather than competing as a singles main event star. For many fans and insiders, this is regarded as a missed opportunity to capitalize on Balor’s abilities and international appeal.
Uncertain Paths for The Judgment Day and Morgan’s Championship Aspirations
The recent backstage confrontation brought by Liv Morgan underscores a deeper narrative within The Judgment Day. As Morgan teams up with Roxxane Perez in pursuit of the Women’s Tag Team Titles, and with other stable members like Raquel targeting gold amidst injuries to JD McDonagh and Dominik, expectations are mounting for Balor to reclaim his role as a leading figure in the group.
The outcome of Balor’s title match against CM Punk in Belfast will likely influence future storylines on RAW. Should Balor succeed or come close, it could mark a renewed chapter in his WWE journey, echoing the original hopes held by Triple H and fans during his early tenure. Meanwhile, Morgan’s drive—shared by her stablemates—highlights the competitive hunger fueling both individual and group ambitions heading into WWE’s next chapter.
