During Monday Night RAW, Liv Morgan created tension in a lively segment inside The Judgment Day‘s Clubhouse with Finn Balor, setting off a memorable sequence that caused a stir among WWE fans. The spotlight on Morgan during this RAW segment was heightened even further when, immediately after her intense interaction with Balor, WWE cut to feature her former boyfriend, adding unexpected stir to the ongoing storyline.
Building Rivalries: Liv Morgan Teams Up with Roxanne Perez
Earlier in the episode, Liv Morgan teamed up with Roxanne Perez, signaling a challenge to the recently crowned Women’s Tag Team Champions, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Morgan, with no apparent resentment toward Raquel Rodriguez’s pursuit of the Women’s World Title, appeared aligned with Perez as the two set their sights on champions Ripley and Sky, setting the stage for future confrontations in the women’s division.
After this confrontation, Morgan interrupted Finn Balor who was occupied with a game of WWE 2K. The exchange between Morgan and Balor became tense as she questioned his intentions while her allies—Raquel Rodriguez, Morgan herself, and Perez—were all pursuing championship gold. With emotions running high, Morgan left abruptly after the brief conversation, and Roxanne told Balor that Morgan was right, intensifying the scene’s drama.
The Match That Followed: Attention Turns to Tyler Bate
Immediately after the emotionally charged segment, the show transitioned to a match between Je’Von Evans and Bravo Americano, portrayed by Tyler Bate. This choice did not go unnoticed, as WWE fans were reminded of Morgan’s past relationship with Bate, whom she dated briefly in 2019, making the camera cut all the more provocative to viewers aware of this fact.
While Morgan made headlines with her determination in the opening segment, Bravo Americano had a disappointing showing, with Je’Von Evans defeating him swiftly. Following the defeat, Bravo Americano (Tyler Bate), Rayo (Pete Dunne), and El Grande Americano attempted and failed to get the better of Evans, leaving Bravo without a redeeming moment in the ring.
Finn Balor Seeks Opportunity Inspired by Morgan’s Confrontation
The aftermath of Morgan’s remarks appeared to have motivated Finn Balor, as the WWE superstar went on to challenge the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk. Balor simply confronted Punk directly and secured himself a shot at the top title, suggesting that Morgan’s words had a tangible effect on his resolve. This sets up a significant moment for Balor as he prepares to compete in Belfast, Northern Ireland, next Monday as WWE continues its international tour.
Implications for WWE Storylines Going Forward
Liv Morgan’s dynamic involvement in the RAW segment, including the pointed interaction with Finn Balor and the subsequent reference to her ex-boyfriend Tyler Bate, has added fresh intrigue to WWE’s ongoing narratives. The focus on Morgan’s personal connections, as well as the tension with Balor and the tag team title pursuit, are expected to create compelling developments in both the women’s and men’s divisions as WWE builds toward its upcoming event in Northern Ireland. Key figures, including Rhea Ripley, Perez, and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, remain at the forefront as the stories progress.
