After securing her spot at WrestleMania 42 by winning the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Match, Liv Morgan provided an update on Dominik Mysterio’s status. Mysterio has been sidelined since December 20 due to injury, causing him to miss the recent Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. Morgan expressed optimism about his recovery while celebrating her own breakthrough victory.
The Judgment Day faction had a notable evening in Riyadh, with Morgan overcoming 29 competitors to claim the Women’s Rumble crown for the first time. Although tension briefly surfaced when Morgan eliminated her ally Raquel Rodriguez, the group ultimately enjoyed success even as the absence of “Dirty” Dom due to injury weighed heavily.
During a discussion on the Royal Rumble Recap podcast with hosts Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, Morgan was asked about Mysterio’s reaction to her win and his current condition.
“He’s so happy for me. He’s sooooooo happy for me. He’s doing great. We’re on the phone, and all we did was [ahhh reaction]. It was incredible,” Morgan said. – WWE (H/T Sportskeeda)

Liv Morgan Describes Her Decision to Eliminate Raquel Rodriguez
During the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, after Raquel Rodriguez unexpectedly eliminated Rhea Ripley, Morgan shocked fans by eliminating Rodriguez, her teammate in Judgment Day. This surprising turn occurred late in the match, raising questions about the dynamics within the faction.
In the same podcast interview, Morgan clarified the situation, emphasizing that Rodriguez understood her motives.
“Raquel is not selfish. She knows I’m an opportunist. Raquel has her own opportunity. She is so down to share the wealth, and now she has health, and I have wealth,” Morgan said. – WWE (H/T Sportskeeda)
Rodriguez will soon challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship on the upcoming RAW episode, potentially adding further intrigue to Judgment Day’s internal relationships.
