Liv Morgan delivered strong words to Finn Balor on the recent episode of WWE Raw, motivating him as he prepares to challenge for the World Heavyweight Title. In an interview, Morgan addressed Balor’s recent behavior and the turmoil within The Judgment Day, emphasizing the importance of supporting each other as they chase championship gold.
Turning Point for Finn Balor and The Judgment Day
The January 12th episode of Raw introduced a significant development in the World Heavyweight Title scene. The Judgment Day faction has faced growing uncertainty, with Finn Balor attempting to bolster the group by recruiting Roxanne Perez and dealing with the recent injuries to both Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. This instability left the stable searching for momentum and focus on Monday Night Raw.
Liv Morgan, frustrated by Balor’s casual attitude, found him playing video games in the Judgment Day’s clubhouse during a crucial time for the group. After confronting him with candid feedback, Morgan seemed to ignite a new determination in Balor. Later that night, Balor confronted current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and officially challenged him for a title match set for the next episode in Belfast. This move signaled a possible return to form for Balor, once a reigning Grand Slam Champion.
Liv Morgan Shares Her Motivation for Supporting Balor
Reflecting on the backstage interaction, Liv Morgan discussed her hopes for Balor’s resurgence during a segment on the Raw Recap.
It’s good because all we 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.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.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.We just want the best for him, and that’s the Finn Balor that we deserve.We watch everyone’s stuff, we sit there like ‘woo!’, you know what I mean? So to come back like ‘Finn did you watch?’ he’s like ‘huh? I’m just playing as myself on 2k.’ It was just like okay brother, how about we stick together and get back to the Finn Balor that said he would carry the Judgment Day on his back, that wanted championship gold, where’s that Finn Balor? And I do believe that is the Finn Balor we are about to see. [h/t WrestleTalk]
Morgan’s comments highlighted her belief in both team unity and individual potential. She expressed concern at seeing a top competitor like Finn, who has achieved championships across divisions—from NXT to the United States and World titles—showing a lack of engagement while others pursue titles and work through setbacks. Morgan explained that The Judgment Day, known for dominating Monday nights, needed focus, and she challenged Balor to reclaim his ambitious spirit.
The message appeared to resonate with Balor, who, inspired by Morgan’s honest critique, quickly took action and set up a marquee bout with CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. Morgan’s statements reinforced that the group values collective effort and mutual accountability, underscoring why the upcoming championship showdown means more than just individual accolades.
What’s at Stake in Next Week’s WWE Raw
With Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh sidelined, the Judgment Day is relying on Finn Balor’s return to form to elevate the group’s standing. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike are watching closely to see if Morgan’s call to action will signal a change in Balor’s approach and whether he can regain his status at the top of the WWE roster.
On the next episode of Raw in Belfast, Finn Balor will challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title. This match could have significant implications, not only for Balor’s legacy as a Grand Slam Champion but also for the internal cohesion of Judgment Day. The outcome may set the stage for future WWE storylines, determine the leadership dynamic within the faction, and affect the broader championship landscape moving towards flagship events such as WrestleMania.
Liv Morgan’s push for renewed commitment has already shifted the narrative for Judgment Day and Finn Balor. As anticipation builds for the title showdown, the WWE universe is waiting to see whether Balor will seize this second chance at greatness and unite his group as they pursue further championship glory.
