Liv Morgan unexpectedly exited a WWE show shortly before the 2025 Royal Rumble, causing tension among her Judgment Day teammates. The incident occurred during a segment where Morgan, alongside Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, was reviewing the highlights of the Women’s Royal Rumble match. The disagreement sparked after a television camera shifted focus away from Morgan and Rodriguez’s signature tag team move to the next entrant, Guilia, prompting Morgan to walk off in frustration.
During the review, Morgan and Rodriguez executed their well-known roll-up powerbomb on Charlotte Flair. However, the camera angles did not capture this move properly, which Morgan took as a sign of disrespect. Her teammates Perez and Rodriguez attempted to persuade her to remain, but Morgan was adamant about leaving. After some moments off-screen, she eventually returned to continue the show.
“They didn’t even get it? The disrespect. I’m done with this. I’m not watching this sh*t anymore. The disrespect of this camera to not catch our signature tag team move, the roll-up powerbomb. I’m done. I’m done. I’m done. I’m really done with this. The disrespect of this Royal Rumble. The disrespect of this Royal Rumble to not show my ****.” Perez: “Come back.” Morgan: “No, no, no, no, no.” Rodriguez: “She needs a break.” Perez: “Just cool off. It’s ok.” [33:46 onwards]
