Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio have been prominent villainous figures in WWE, captivating fans with their dynamic presence. Morgan, sidelined after a June 16 RAW injury, is anticipated to make her WWE return in early 2016, which could be a pivotal moment for the storyline involving both performers and a potential shift in Dominik’s on-screen persona.
While Morgan recuperates, Roxanne Perez has been brought in as her substitute within The Judgment Day faction, appearing to act under Finn Balor’s direction. Perez’s role centers on driving a wedge between Morgan and Mysterio, creating tension that WWE is using to deepen the narrative.

Dominik Mysterio continues to maintain his heel role, but the introduction of Roxanne Perez working to alienate Morgan indicates a complex web of alliances and betrayals. Reports suggest that this storyline arc will extend over several months, allowing the rivalry between these wrestlers to fully evolve before Morgan’s return.
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts addressed fan questions regarding Mysterio possibly becoming a babyface aligned with Tiffany Stratton. Roberts disagreed with this theory, noting that both Stratton and Mysterio are currently heels, making such a shift unlikely in the immediate future.
I think that Dom will be a babyface with Liv Morgan. I think that as hot as Dom and Rhea were, like as a story, somehow Liv Morgan and Dominik worked even better. And no one saw that coming. I’m Team Liv-Dom.I think, like, as Liv is coming back, maybe you start pushing towards there’s a closeness between Roxanne and Dom, and then Roxanne gets completely left in the lurch by Dominik Mysterio. He goes with Liv Morgan. [1:17:18 onwards]
This perspective underlines a possible narrative shift where Dominik distances himself from Roxanne Perez and reunites professionally and personally with Liv Morgan, bringing fresh energy to their characters.
