On the most recent edition of WWE RAW, Finn Balor made a decisive move concerning the Liv Morgan Judgment Day replacement as the faction navigates significant changes in Morgan’s absence due to injury. The developments on Monday night saw new title victories for The Judgment Day, along with decisions from Balor that are set to affect Morgan’s future involvement with the group upon her return.
The Judgment Day Shifts Leadership and Membership in Liv Morgan’s Absence
Finn Balor has stepped up as the visible leader of The Judgment Day, especially when Liv Morgan is unavailable, a role he has taken on periodically. Previously, when Morgan, also known as “The Miracle Kid,” was on hiatus in Japan, Balor introduced Rozanne Perez into the group to help fill the void left by Morgan’s departure.
Now, with Morgan sidelined by injury, Balor again influenced a key roster change within the faction. This time, the concern revolves around who will represent the group in the Women’s Tag Team division while Morgan recovers, a decision with lasting implications for both Morgan and The Judgment Day’s future strategy.
Championship Wins and Tag Team Reassignments for The Judgment Day
The Judgment Day celebrated a victorious episode, with several members securing championship gold. Finn Balor, alongside JD McDonagh, overcame The New Day in a high-stakes match to reclaim the World Tag Team Championships, bolstering the group’s standing on RAW.
In a pivotal meeting with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, Balor advocated for Roxanne Perez to temporarily partner with Raquel Rodriguez as the Women’s Tag Team Champions during Morgan’s medical leave. Both General Managers sanctioned the move, setting the stage for Perez and Rodriguez to defend the titles in a challenging Fatal 4-Way contest featuring teams from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Finn Balor Expresses Support for Liv Morgan Despite Changes
Following the team’s title wins, the faction posed for a commemorative photo, which Balor shared on his social media platforms. He ensured to tag all present members and included a message acknowledging Liv Morgan, expressing that she was missed by her teammates.
While Balor’s motives in suggesting Perez as Morgan’s temporary replacement remain open to interpretation, it is clear that the decision could stir discontent when Morgan is fit to return. Known for her passionate presence, “The Miracle Kid” has yet to respond publicly, but the modifications to the group in her absence are likely to provoke strong reactions upon her comeback.
Implications for Liv Morgan and The Judgment Day Going Forward
These recent developments mark a transformative moment for The Judgment Day, as they adapt their lineup and defend their newly earned titles amid internal shifts. Finn Balor’s choices, particularly around replacing Morgan in the tag team picture, highlight the tense dynamics and uncertainty within the faction during her recovery period.
As Liv Morgan prepares for her eventual WWE return, both the championship landscape and faction loyalty may look different, leaving the wrestling community to speculate on how these changes will influence alliances and rivalries. The WWE Universe will be watching closely to see how Morgan responds to her temporary substitute—and how The Judgment Day balances its ambitions with internal unity moving forward.
