Dominik Mysterio, the current WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion, is set to defend his Intercontinental Title against Rusev on next week’s episode of RAW. Despite widespread expectations that Dominik might lose the title, an unexpected return from Liv Morgan could help him retain the championship in a surprising twist. This possibility has generated considerable speculation among fans ahead of the upcoming match.
Liv Morgan, who suffered a dislocated shoulder during a match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of Monday Night RAW, has been sidelined since relinquishing the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Nevertheless, recent hints suggest Morgan might make her long-anticipated return during the Intercontinental Championship bout to support Dominik Mysterio, often referred to as “Dirty Dom,” in his title defense against Rusev.
The 31-year-old has had a romantic storyline with Dominik Mysterio within WWE programming, which paused with her injury absence. Her return could be a pivotal moment that reunites the duo on-screen, helping him retain the Dominik Mysterio Intercontinental Title while reigniting their relationship narrative. Yet, this scenario remains unconfirmed and purely speculative at this point.
Rumors of Dominik Mysterio Leaving The Judgment Day Amid Squad Tensions
In recent weeks, The Judgment Day faction has shown visible strains on RAW, particularly between Dominik Mysterio and other members including Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. Balor and McDonagh have expressed discomfort with Dominik’s unexplained connections with El Grande Americano, adding friction within the group.
On a recent episode, JD McDonagh wrestled Rusev but ultimately submitted to Rusev’s Accolade hold. Despite the tap-out, Rusev continued exerting the submission move while Dominik observed silently without intervention. This moment highlighted the growing tension and isolation Dominik is facing within the stable.
With Liv Morgan’s potential return looming, Dominik might choose to distance himself from The Judgment Day’s villainous roster. Morgan could harbor resentment toward the faction, especially after being replaced by rookie Roxanne Perez during her injury absence. This shared dissatisfaction could lead both Morgan and Dominik to abandon the group, although these developments are currently speculative and not officially confirmed.
Liv Morgan’s Possible Return: What it Means for WWE Storylines
If Liv Morgan does come back next week, her involvement in the Intercontinental Title match could have a significant impact on WWE’s narrative direction. Her assistance in helping Dominik retain the belt would not only strengthen their on-screen bond but could alter the factional dynamics within The Judgment Day. Fans will be watching closely to see if the mysterious tease turns into a major plot twist.
Dominik Mysterio’s trajectory following Morgan’s return could include a breakaway from The Judgment Day, shifting alliances and stirring fresh rivalries across RAW. Meanwhile, the outcome of his match against Rusev will be crucial in defining his standing as the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion moving forward.
While excitement builds around these potential changes, WWE has yet to confirm any official announcements regarding Liv Morgan’s return or the future of Dominik’s faction status. The unfolding weeks on RAW will reveal whether these storylines materialize or remain speculative insight into WWE’s evolving dynamics.
