Liv Morgan responds to Roxanne Perez rivalry and stalking incident, addressing both her ongoing storyline involvement and the unsettling events surrounding her recent stalker case. The WWE star confronted rumors about her relationship with Dominik Mysterio on Raw, while also facing unexpected real-life security threats outside the ring.
Liv Morgan Sets the Record Straight on Roxanne Perez and Dominik Mysterio
During the May 26 episode of Raw, Liv Morgan made her return to the main WWE television roster, only to find that Roxanne Perez had been interacting closely with Dominik Mysterio. Morgan’s comeback was quickly shadowed by growing speculation regarding a possible rivalry, especially as Perez’s presence around The Judgment Day stable and the reigning Intercontinental Champion continued in the following weeks.
On the Raw Recap segment, Morgan gave direct commentary about her rapport with Dominik and the perceived competition from Perez. She dismissed concerns about Perez being a threat to her relationship or professional standing, responding with confidence and a bit of sarcasm.
“Why would we not be okay? What would make you think that? Because little baby Roxanne came and gave him a little rubby because his shoulder’s so heavy from carrying an Intercontinental Champion and being the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, and then she gave him ranchless nuggies… in a JCPenney box? Is that what you’re worried about? I’m not worried about Roxanne. She’s a beautiful girl. She’s talented. It’s not exactly anything that I am concerned about.”
—Liv Morgan, WWE Superstar
Morgan continued to reinforce her position, claiming that she sees little similarity between herself and Perez. She focused on her own actions for Dominik, highlighting the exclusive attention and support she provides, such as physically preparing him for matches and giving thoughtful gifts.
“Yeah, I don’t really see similarities because I brought Dominik hundreds of nuggies on a silver platter. I actually, I would stretch him before his matches. I wasn’t much of a rubber. So- What exactly similarities do you see there? Roxanne is brunette. She’s shorter than me. She has brown eyes. Dominik doesn’t show interest in her. He shows interest in me. Roxanne is talented. I’m not going to knock her. Not as talented as me.”
—Liv Morgan, WWE Superstar
Despite acknowledging Perez’s skills, Morgan drew a clear line, insisting that her own talents and connection with Mysterio make any rivalry insignificant. In her eyes, there’s no real competition for Dominik’s attention or her own place within the company’s storylines. Her bold statements reflect her passion and unwavering self-assurance amid fan speculation and evolving plotlines.
Alleged Stalker Arrested Outside WWE Performance Center
Away from WWE’s televised drama, Liv Morgan has faced serious challenges in her personal life. On June 3, authorities made an arrest outside the WWE Performance Center, detaining an unnamed individual who had allegedly been stalking Morgan ahead of an NXT program. The incident raised immediate concerns across the wrestling community, given the ongoing dangers that public figures can face from obsessive fans.
This was not the first time a member of the WWE roster has dealt with similar threats. The 2023 sentencing of Phillip Thomas to 15 years in prison and 15 additional years on probation serves as a sobering reminder. Thomas attempted to kidnap WWE star Sonya Deville, following a campaign of threatening messages on social media before showing up at her home armed with restraints and a weapon. The recent arrest involving Morgan underscores persistent security issues that WWE performers must contend with in their careers, even as they entertain fans worldwide.
Other Major Developments in the WWE Universe
The wrestling world continues to shift both inside and outside the ring. Vince McMahon, following the high-profile lawsuit filed by Janel Grant, has remained largely absent from public view, having stepped down from TKO’s Board of Directors and finalized a massive sale of his shares earlier this year.
Meanwhile, within WWE’s storylines, several shake-ups and rumors are gaining traction. One long-time faction dramatically ousted one of its own, leading to renewed questions about the future of that group. In the Women’s division, Rhea Ripley is seen as a strong contender to secure the Money in the Bank briefcase, while SmackDown’s Jade Cargill has intensified her feud with another top star via serious allegations. The men’s roster also deals with lingering mysteries, such as Jack Perry’s unexplained absence from AEW programming, and renewed debate surrounds WWE’s direction for wrestlers like Karrion Kross despite his rising fan appeal.
Backstage, Seth Rollins is reportedly considering expanding his own stable, sparking further speculation about potential recruits and alliances within the brand.
Lingering Effects and Upcoming Appearances
The incident involving Liv Morgan’s alleged stalker remains a stark warning for the WWE and fans about the real dangers faced by public figures. As security protocols are reviewed, Morgan is still expected to participate in upcoming high-profile events, including a scheduled appearance in Los Angeles for the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event.
The intertwining of real-life dangers and on-screen drama highlights the challenges faced by WWE stars such as Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Roxanne Perez. For now, the wrestling community watches closely, both in anticipation of storyline twists and in support of the ongoing safety and well-being of its performers.
