Dominik Mysterio is showing a deep commitment to Liv Morgan’s WWE comeback sacrifice, expressing his willingness to go to great lengths to have her return to the ring. After Liv Morgan suffered a major shoulder injury earlier this summer that required surgery, she has been sidelined for several months, delaying her return to WWE action.
Morgan’s injury forced her out of the Evolution event, opening the opportunity for Roxanne Perez to step in as one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez. However, Perez and Rodriguez ultimately lost the championship titles at SummerSlam. Amidst this shift, Finn Balor appears to be stirring tensions, possibly driving a wedge between Mysterio and Morgan, with Perez involved in the unfolding storyline. Despite that, Dominik Mysterio remains determined to bring Morgan back to WWE by his side no matter the cost.
Dominik Mysterio’s Willingness to Forgo Favorite Foods
In a recent conversation on the Stay Busy podcast, Dominik Mysterio revealed how far he would go, including giving up his favorite chicken tenders, to see Liv Morgan return to WWE. He humorously yet seriously considered the extent of this sacrifice, clarifying that he might keep his chicken nuggets but was ready to give up tenders in exchange for Morgan’s comeback.
Forever is a long time. So, okay. So does that take away nuggets as well or just the tenders? Because, like, I can live with nuggets, but, like, if you’re taking away chicken tenders, nuggets, like that whole section… like this is, this is just turned into a very serious conversation, because if it’s just tenders, I’ll give up the tenders to have Liv come back because I’m gonna have nuggets. So if that’s the case, that’s the case. If not, if you’re not adding anything else, we’re good.

This lighthearted yet earnest statement illustrates how much Mysterio values Morgan’s presence in WWE and his frustration with the delay caused by her injury. The ongoing tension and shifting alliances backstage, especially involving Balor and Perez, add complexity to Morgan’s eventual return.
