Will Liv Morgan Leave Judgment Day? All You Need to Know About Her Apparent Replacement
Liv Morgan's 2025 has been a mixed bag. On one hand, she successfully captured her 4th Tag Team Championship with Raquel Rodriguez after WrestleMania 41 and elevated her status as one of the most prominent performers on the main roster.
However, her momentum has come to a big halt owing to her disastrous shoulder injury on the June 16th edition of RAW.
In a match against Kairi Sane, the former world champion suffered a nasty fall with her shoulder hitting the mat awkwardly. Morgan immediately rinsed in pain and rolled out of the ring while still holding her shoulder in agony. It was later reported that she had suffered a dislocated shoulder and would require surgery and thus taking her out of action for a couple of months.
However, this absence has raised a big question about her place in Judgement Day.
But why?
Roxanne Perez Can Very Well Be Liv Morgan's Worst Nightmare in the Judgment Day
On the June 30th edition of RAW, Roxanne Perez, along with Raquel Rodriguez, held onto the Women's Tag Team titles in the absence of Morgan, with the Judgment Day voting unanimously in her favor. This move saved Rodriguez from being forced to relinquish the belts in the absence of Morgan.
Although Dominik Mysterio suggested talking to Morgan about the change but Finn Balor convinced the Intercontinental champion otherwise.
Moreover, it was Balor who, along with JD McDonagh, convinced RAW and SmackDown GMs to nod in favor of Perez. This change further planted seeds of Perez permanently taking Morgan's place in the stable.
Moreover, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Perez has been a constant help to the stable and has also interfered in matches involving Morgan and Rodriguez. And ever since Mysterio captured the IC title at WrestleMania, Balor has realized that Morgan and Mysterio are now the top dogs of the stable.
A position Balor yearned for after banishing Damien Priest.
Many expected the Irishman to cost Mysterio the title just like he did to Priest, but instead, he has effectively used Perez as a point of contention between the new stable leaders. When Morgan eventually returns, she will certainly not be happy to find out about being replaced, all thanks to Balor's behind-the-scenes scheming.
After all, Morgan is the same woman who, after the departures of Priest and Rhea Ripley, had become the de facto leader of Judgment Day. In storyline, Morgan had forced her way into the faction and ultimately Mysterio's arms, so it's only natural she now fears Roxanne Perez might be doing the same.
WWE
has been planting seeds for a Morgan face turn for some time, and now the moment feels right. A dramatic split from Judgment Day could launch her into a fresh run as one of WWE's top babyface stars.

How the triple threat came together Lynch, of course, wasn't finished with Valkyria—the pair had been short-lived tag partners not long before the rivalry started—and ambushed her at Money in the Bank on June 7 with the capture of the Intercontinental title just recently the scenario had made it a combustible three-way rivalry as Lynch was freshly back from a post‑WrestleMania hiatus. Two nights later on Raw, Bayley returned and accused The Man of stealing her WrestleMania moment and asked for a title shot. Bayley was originally set to face Valkyria to decide on a No. 1 contender, but when the two wrestlers ended their June 30 match in a double pinfall similar to what occurred on June 30, officials had no option but to throw both challengers into the mix for Evolution. In a video on WWE's social channels on Monday morning, Pearce confirmed the decision and declared the women's division "deserves a definitive ending." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Where the match fit on the Evolution 2 card The Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Valkyria match is just one of many added to the card.

Father's bold move to fulfill son's WWE dream pays off as The Undertaker responds: 'Well done, young man!'
The Undertaker (Image Source: Getty) WWE makes dreams come true, and today, one father's daring charge into making his son a WWE fan paid off in a big way, bringing the feels to the world, including The Undertaker. An Indian father has gone viral for recreating the ring entrance of the legendary 'Deadman' at home, lights dimmed to set the mood, the 'Graveyard Symphony' played on harmonium, and his young son slowly rolling in to visually embody the legend. The clip was soon noticed by the wrestling icon himself, who replied with an encouraging: 'Well done, young man!' A son lives out his wrestling dream, thanks to dad's theatrical touch The video was filled with cuteness from the get-go. In another room where the lights are barely on, the father lovingly cues his son's mega entrance on an old-style harmonium playing The Undertaker's spine-chilling theme. Dressed like a millennial, but standing there with an air of confidence, the son holds both hands up just like The Phenom and moves in slow, deliberate steps — impersonating 30 years of WWE history. — Arhantt_pvt (@Arhantt_pvt) A blooper was also recorded in the video where the father said, 'Ohh tere pass cap toh hai hi nahi,' (roughly: "Hey, you don't even have the cap!"), adding a lighthearted, endearing twist to the performance. It was visible in the video that the father-son duo poured their hearts out in making the entrance video, and the fans couldn't get enough of it. The Undertaker's stamp of approval rings loud and proud Its reception on social media was perhaps the most striking. To remind the fans why "The Deadman" will always live on away from the ring, The Undertaker took a moment to go to X (formerly Twitter) to write "Well done, young man!". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Where Thane's Pulse Meets Peaceful Living L&T Evara Heights Enquire Now Undo That brief line turned the video from a morsel of virality into a moment of true community connection.
