On Saturday, Liv Morgan secured her first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble victory during her ninth participation in the event, marking a significant milestone in her wrestling career. This achievement came at WrestleMania 42’s Royal Rumble event held in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Morgan demonstrated impressive endurance and resilience.
Since the Women’s Royal Rumble began in 2018, Morgan, alongside Natalya, has been the only female wrestler to compete in every single match. In 2025, she entered the competition as the #2 participant and lasted for over an hour but fell short of the win. This year, entering at #14, Morgan executed several eliminations, including ejecting Raquel Rodriguez, a member of her own Judgment Day faction, underscoring her competitive spirit.
Her victory grants her the opportunity to select any Women’s Champion to challenge at WrestleMania 42 in April, amplifying the anticipation around her next move in WWE.
Overview of Liv Morgan’s Wrestling Achievements and Recent Return
Liv Morgan, aged 31, is a decorated WWE superstar with an impressive résumé. She is a two-time world champion and holds the distinction of being the first-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. Additionally, she has claimed the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship four times.
Her 2025 season was largely sidelined due to a shoulder injury suffered during an episode of Raw. However, Morgan made a powerful return at Survivor Series: WarGames, where she attacked John Cena, contributing to his loss of the Intercontinental Championship to Dominik Mysterio.
Wedding Speculations Emerge Following Liv Morgan’s Royal Rumble Triumph
Following her Royal Rumble victory, Liv Morgan appeared upbeat during an interview on the show Royal Rumble Recap with hosts Sam Roberts and Megan Morant. She reflected on the long journey to her win, expressing relief and excitement after coming so close in previous years.
It was a crazy ride, guys. It was a crazy ride. We finally did it. Runner-up two years in a row (2023 & 2024). It’s like a bridesmaid. Bridesmaid, never the bride. Not a bride, and I’m the most beautiful bride there ever was.
Sam Roberts speculated about the possibility of a wedding storyline between Liv Morgan and fellow WWE star Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania, highlighting the scenario as potentially the greatest wedding in WWE history. He drew parallels to the famous pairing of “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Elizabeth, which captured the fans’ imaginations.
Morgan responded cautiously to this idea, simply saying, “We’ll see.”

Dominik Mysterio’s Absence from Royal Rumble Due to Injury
Dominik Mysterio did not compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble event as he has been recovering from an injury sustained in December during a tag team match involving his father, Rey Mysterio, at a AAA event. His absence sparked further intrigue around the potential wedding rumors following Liv Morgan’s recent comments.
Additional Developments from the Royal Rumble Event
Besides Liv Morgan’s victory and wedding rumors, the 2026 Royal Rumble included notable moments such as AJ Styles’ retirement following his loss to Gunther, ending a significant chapter in his WWE career. Styles also sustained a bloody injury in one of the tournament’s major matches. Meanwhile, the Women’s Royal Rumble match began with tension between two tag team partners entering first, increasing the stakes early on.
Other surprising news involved Becky Lynch’s controversial claim related to the Royal Rumble and the hint of a former WWE star’s possible return in a new capacity. Additionally, an AEW star’s theme song was unexpectedly played at the Royal Rumble venue, adding to the night’s notable highlights.
Significance of Liv Morgan’s Win and Future Prospects
Liv Morgan’s Royal Rumble victory represents a breakthrough after several close attempts, reinforcing her status as a top-tier WWE competitor. As the only wrestler alongside Natalya to have competed in every Royal Rumble since 2018, her perseverance is remarkable. With the power to choose her WrestleMania 42 opponent, Morgan holds a strategic advantage that could shape the women’s championship landscape for the year.
The speculation surrounding a possible wedding angle with Dominik Mysterio adds an emotional and dramatic layer to upcoming storylines, potentially captivating audiences and driving deeper viewer engagement. Morgan’s comeback from injury, combined with this new chapter, makes her one of WWE’s most compelling figures to watch in 2026.
