Why Dominik’s “Sister” Favors Liv Morgan Over Rhea Ripley

Dominik Mysterio’s romantic storylines have evolved significantly in recent years, especially since he became a member of The Judgment Day stable in WWE. His initial on-screen pairing was with Rhea Ripley, which developed until Ripley stepped away due to an injury. During that time, Liv Morgan gradually won Dominik’s attention, culminating in a high-profile betrayal at SummerSlam 2024 where Mysterio turned on Ripley and began an alliance with Morgan. There was also some buzz about a potential connection with Roxanne Perez while Dominik was off WWE television.
