The wrestling world loves a good faction implosion story, and Judgment Day has been serving up drama for months. But sometimes cooler heads prevail, and that’s exactly what happened between WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez after their heated confrontation threatened to tear their partnership apart.
The Spark That Nearly Ignited a Fire
Things got spicy on the May 25 edition of Monday Night Raw when Morgan suffered a disappointing loss to Kairi Sane. What should have been a routine match turned into a chaotic mess when NXT’s Roxanne Perez decided to stick her nose where it didn’t belong.
Rodriguez found herself caught in the middle, getting into a heated argument with Perez while her tag team partner was battling inside the squared circle. The distraction proved costly, and Morgan wasn’t having any of it backstage.
The Riot Squad alum didn’t mince words when she confronted Rodriguez after the match. Morgan made it crystal clear that as the veteran in their partnership, Rodriguez should have known better than to let outside interference derail their focus. The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife as Morgan stormed off, leaving fans wondering if the Women’s Tag Team Champions were heading for splitsville.
Video Review Changes Everything
Professional wrestling has taught us that sometimes you need to watch the tape to see what really went down. That’s exactly what happened when Morgan took a step back and reviewed the footage from that chaotic Raw encounter.
During the Raw Recap show following the June 3 episode, Morgan revealed her change of heart about the entire situation. After getting a bird’s eye view of the action, she realized Rodriguez wasn’t the real villain in this story.
“I got a chance to review the footage… it wasn’t Raquel’s fault… That’s a Roxanne thing, not a Raquel thing.”
Rodriguez, showing the maturity that’s made her a respected locker room presence, didn’t completely absolve herself of responsibility. The former NXT Women’s Champion acknowledged that she should have maintained better focus on supporting Morgan during the match.
Rough Week Continues for Morgan
Unfortunately for Morgan, her troubles didn’t end with the Rodriguez situation getting resolved. The June 3 Raw episode brought another setback when she failed to secure a Money in the Bank qualifier spot.
Morgan faced off against Ivy Nile and the eventual winner Stephanie Vaquer in what turned into a brutal encounter. The match left Morgan not just disappointed about missing out on a potential Money in the Bank opportunity, but also sporting a nasty facial wound that had the wrestling community buzzing on social media.
Judgment Day’s Future Remains Uncertain
While Morgan and Rodriguez have smoothed things over, Judgment Day as a whole continues to deal with internal strife that’s been building for months. The faction that once dominated WWE programming through unity and shared purpose now finds itself constantly putting out fires between its members.
The quick resolution between the Women’s Tag Team Champions shows that some relationships within the group can weather the storm. But with Roxanne Perez seemingly intent on stirring up trouble and other tensions simmering beneath the surface, how long can Judgment Day maintain their grip on power before everything comes crashing down?
