Liv Morgan has acknowledged that Judgment Day feels stagnant, even as she prepares for a chance to reclaim the Women’s World Championship at Money in the Bank. Speaking alongside Dominik Mysterio on Six Feet Under with The Undertaker and Michelle McCool, Liv Morgan said she remains happy in the faction and believes it can overcome its current struggles. Her assessment comes at a revealing point: the group still gets substantial television time, but recent championship losses have weakened its position, and its remaining members are approaching Saturday with very different stakes.
Liv Morgan will challenge Stephanie Vaquer in a Triple Threat Match also featuring Becky Lynch on October 10 in New Orleans. Roxanne Perez has a separate opportunity in the women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Those two matches could dramatically improve Judgment Day’s fortunes, but the results will also test how effectively WWE can move the group beyond familiar interference, backstage exchanges and recovery from another setback. The faction has opportunities. Its direction is what deserves closer scrutiny.
What Liv Morgan actually said about Judgment Day
The October 7 episode of Six Feet Under featured Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio discussing their careers, their on-screen relationship and the approaching title match. During the conversation about Judgment Day, Morgan expressed a desire to remain with the group, while Mysterio indicated he would stay for as long as they were welcome.
“I’m happy. I feel like we’re a little bit stagnant right now, but I’m happy,” Morgan said.
Mysterio acknowledged that they have experienced difficulties. Liv Morgan then expressed confidence in the faction’s ability to work through problems and reflected on how long Judgment Day has survived. Her answer contained an admission that its momentum has slowed and an endorsement of continuing together. That combination is central to the story.
Liv Morgan did not use that exchange to announce a departure or identify a dispute with WWE management. Describing the faction as stagnant leaves room for criticism of its direction; it does not, by itself, establish a backstage confrontation or an impending breakup. The strongest factual reading is that a prominent member sees the group struggling to advance while still valuing her place in it.
The full conversation below provides the context for Liv Morgan’s assessment before examining the results that brought Judgment Day to this point.
Watch the full Six Feet Under interview with Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio below:
How Liv Morgan helped change Judgment Day
Judgment Day’s history helps explain why this admission carries weight. The faction began with Edge in 2022 and underwent substantial changes as different members entered and others were pushed out. Its current core consists of Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. The name has endured through several versions of the group.
For Liv Morgan, the defining change came at SummerSlam on August 3, 2024. Dominik Mysterio helped her retain the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley, then made his allegiance unmistakable by kissing Morgan after the match. That was a major turn in their story because the championship result, the betrayal and the relationship all pointed in the same direction.
Liv Morgan’s victory had consequences beyond the belt. Ripley lost the match and her partner’s loyalty in the same sequence. Morgan’s revenge story moved forward, Mysterio made a consequential choice, and Judgment Day’s relationships were changed. The faction had something specific to fight over, with clearly identifiable winners and losers.
That is a useful standard for assessing its current presentation. A group can appear in multiple segments and still feel stalled if those appearances mostly reaffirm relationships the audience already understands. Familiar chemistry can sustain a weekly scene; an important decision gives that scene a reason to matter next week.
Judgment Day also removed Finn Bálor in March 2026. WWE’s March 9 Raw recap documented the group attacking him one week after Mysterio lost the Intercontinental Championship. Bálor’s removal supplied another significant change to the lineup.
Changing members, however, creates a responsibility to establish what the remaining group wants and how it operates. Once a betrayal has happened, the aftermath needs its own progression. Continually reminding viewers that the faction has survived upheaval is a weaker proposition than showing how that upheaval altered its ambitions.
The title losses behind Judgment Day’s weakened position
The recent setbacks give Liv Morgan’s assessment a concrete backdrop.
Liv Morgan lost the Women’s World Championship to Stephanie Vaquer at a WWE live event in Chile on September 12, with Becky Lynch serving as special guest referee. WWE’s Money in the Bank match preview identifies that result as the starting point for the current championship dispute.
The following day, Dominik Mysterio lost the AAA Mega Championship to El Grande Americano at Triplemanía 34. That match included involvement from JD McDonagh, Omos and Morgan. Even with help surrounding him, Mysterio could not leave with the championship.
Those losses arrived on consecutive days and affected the two performers most closely associated with Judgment Day’s current identity. A faction built around mutual protection saw both of its central figures lose major titles over the same weekend. The problem was visible in the results.
Mysterio had already lost the Intercontinental Championship to Penta on March 2. His later AAA title loss therefore removed another significant source of status rather than interrupting an otherwise uninterrupted run of success.
Championship defeats can improve a story when they force characters to change. They can reveal resentment, expose a failed strategy or push a wrestler into a different kind of challenge. The useful question is what a defeat makes the group do afterward.
On September 14, WWE addressed Morgan and Mysterio’s losses directly by putting them opposite Vaquer and El Grande Americano in a mixed tag team match. Judgment Day attacked to cause a disqualification, then continued the assault after the bell. The faction could still overwhelm opponents, but the attack did not reverse the championship results.
That distinction matters to the analysis. A beatdown establishes that the group remains dangerous when it has numbers. It offers less evidence that the group has found a successful response to losing its titles. Anger is a credible immediate reaction; over time, viewers also need to see whether that anger changes the faction’s approach.
Liv Morgan’s pursuit of Vaquer supplies a clear personal objective. Judgment Day’s broader recovery is harder to measure unless the individual pursuits begin producing sustained consequences for the group.
Raw’s go-home show brought wins and another disrupted opportunity
The October 5 Raw prevents this story from becoming an exaggerated account of a faction that never succeeds.
Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez defeated Sol Ruca and Lola Vice after Vice accidentally struck Ruca, allowing Perez to capitalize. Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh also defeated Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, with Big Cass disrupting the opposing team before McDonagh secured the pin. Judgment Day collected two tag team victories on the final Raw before Money in the Bank.
Those results provide evidence that the members can still function effectively together. Perez took advantage of an opening, while McDonagh delivered a finish that helped his team win. A fair assessment has to account for those contributions.
The finishes also illustrate the question surrounding the faction’s presentation. Both victories depended on a disruption to the opposition. That is consistent with heel wrestling, and consistency can be useful. Repeatedly reaching the same kind of finish becomes less effective when it fails to develop a new relationship, a stronger rivalry or a different position on the card.
Liv Morgan’s match with Becky Lynch offered a more direct opportunity to settle something. The winner was supposed to become Vaquer’s challenger. Rodriguez and Perez intervened, Vaquer entered the situation, and the match broke down. WWE officially lists the result as a no-contest; Vaquer then demanded a title match against both women, which Adam Pearce made official.
Liv Morgan reached Money in the Bank, but she did so without defeating Lynch in the advertised contender’s match. Her allies’ involvement also failed to produce the singles championship opportunity that a decisive victory would have secured.
From a storytelling standpoint, that leaves a productive complication. Judgment Day helped create the chaos, yet Morgan now has to account for two opponents. The group’s assistance can be read as useful protection that also contributes to a less controllable situation. Saturday gives WWE a chance to explore that consequence.
Liv Morgan’s title match has a clear grievance and a difficult structure
The Triple Threat Match brings together three wrestlers with an established reason to be involved. Vaquer holds the championship. Liv Morgan wants the title she lost in Chile. Lynch’s role as special guest referee makes her part of the dispute rather than a challenger inserted without context.
For Liv Morgan, winning would repair the most obvious damage from September. It would also allow Judgment Day to present its continued support as having produced a tangible result.
The match format complicates that ambition. In a Triple Threat Match, one challenger can win by pinning or submitting the other challenger. Morgan could leave without the championship even if Vaquer never directly defeats her, and Vaquer could lose the title without being the wrestler beaten in the finish.
That creates several possible consequences for the ongoing feud. A direct defeat would give Morgan a different grievance from a result in which another wrestler takes the fall. A championship victory would also carry different implications depending on whose shoulders are on the mat and what assistance contributes to the finish.
Liv Morgan’s character has enough history in this rivalry for those details to matter. A result should help define the next stage of her pursuit rather than simply provide another reason to repeat the same argument.
There is also a distinction between restoring her championship and advancing Judgment Day as a whole. Morgan winning would give the faction an immediate achievement. Its other members would still need objectives that develop alongside hers. If the championship only becomes another prop in otherwise unchanged weekly scenes, the larger concern about stagnation would remain open.
That is an assessment of the booking opportunity, not a prediction of the result. WWE has announced the match; Morgan’s interview supplies no confirmation of its winner or the faction’s plans afterward.
Roxanne Perez’s briefcase opportunity could change the balance
Roxanne Perez offers Judgment Day a second route to a major development at Money in the Bank. She qualified for the women’s ladder match by defeating IYO SKY and La Catalina on September 21, finishing SKY with Pop Rox. That win belongs in any evaluation of her recent direction.
Perez is scheduled to face Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton for the briefcase. Liv Morgan is competing for the Women’s World Championship elsewhere on the same card, making the two opportunities closely connected in potential significance for Judgment Day.
A Perez victory would give her a future championship opportunity of her own. Her role could then expand beyond helping Morgan navigate an immediate threat. The contract would belong to Perez, and her decisions about it would become central to her presentation.
If Liv Morgan and Perez both won, Judgment Day would have a world champion and a member holding a route to another championship match. That could support a story about cooperation, ambition or competing priorities. Each is a possibility created by the format, rather than a development WWE has confirmed.
If Perez won while Morgan lost, the group’s next major opportunity would sit with Perez. That would give WWE a reason to examine how the faction supports her ambitions when Morgan’s own pursuit has suffered another setback.
These possibilities deserve discussion because they follow from the announced card. Treating them as evidence that Perez is about to betray Morgan would go beyond what has been established.
Perez’s recent record also contains a meaningful setback: La Catalina defeated her to retain the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at Worlds Collide on September 30. Her path into Money in the Bank therefore includes a qualifying victory over strong opposition and an unsuccessful championship challenge.
That combination gives Perez something to prove without reducing her to a series of losses. The ladder match can help establish what she means to Judgment Day’s future, especially if her performance leads to a sustained individual direction.
Raquel Rodriguez gives the faction an existing success to build around
Judgment Day still has a champion in Raquel Rodriguez. She won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Sol Ruca on July 27 and remains the titleholder. Any description of the group as having lost all its championship relevance would overlook her.
Rodriguez’s position is significant because her singles success gives WWE another story to develop within the faction. Her title can create challengers, decisions and conflicts that belong to her while still connecting to the group’s relationships.
On the go-home Raw, Rodriguez participated in a tag team victory and later helped Liv Morgan against Lynch. Those appearances underline her value as an ally. The broader creative opportunity is to make her own championship ambitions carry comparable weight.
A faction becomes more substantial when its members have reasons to participate beyond assisting its most prominent performer. Rodriguez can protect Morgan and pursue a demanding singles reign. Perez can support both while working toward her own championship opportunity. Those goals can coexist and occasionally complicate one another.
There is no need to invent a dispute between them to identify that potential. The current lineup already contains different ambitions. Allowing those ambitions to produce choices would give the group more substance.
Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh need progress that extends beyond support
Dominik Mysterio’s losses of the Intercontinental and AAA Mega championships have changed his standing. His October 5 tag team victory supplied a positive result, but rebuilding his singles position will require a sustained pursuit with a clear destination.
Mysterio also failed to qualify for the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match when Penta won their September 21 Triple Threat qualifier, which included Dragon Lee. That leaves Perez with an opportunity on Saturday that Mysterio was unable to secure for himself.
That difference could help develop his character without requiring another immediate championship. How he responds to setbacks, supports his allies and pursues his own goals can provide progression. His relationship with Morgan remains a major part of his presentation, but it cannot answer every question created by his match results.
McDonagh’s recent record illustrates another issue. CM Punk pinned him in the Worlds Collide six-man tag team match involving Rey Mysterio, El Grande Americano, Mysterio and Omos. Days later, McDonagh pinned Rey on Raw. He has been involved in significant matches and has supplied a victory for the group.
The next useful development would be for one of those results to establish a pursuit that continues. A member who absorbs a defeat one week and helps win the next can serve the faction effectively. Giving that member an identifiable ambition also gives viewers a reason to follow him between those appearances.
Liv Morgan’s assessment concerns the group, so its answer cannot rest entirely on her next match. Judgment Day’s depth depends on how well WWE develops the wrestlers standing around her.
Why the coverage needs to preserve Morgan’s full position
The remark has circulated through wrestling coverage and WrestlePurists on X because a member calling her own faction stagnant is an obvious news point. The surrounding answer deserves equal attention. Morgan paired that assessment with happiness in the group and confidence in its ability to recover.
The reported exchange supports scrutiny of Judgment Day’s momentum. It provides a much weaker basis for claims about a confrontation with creative, a request to leave or a scheduled split.
The televised results give that scrutiny a firmer foundation. Championship losses reduced the group’s status, recent tag victories showed it remains effective, and Saturday’s card offers meaningful opportunities to Morgan and Perez. Those facts support a more useful analysis than treating every setback as proof that the faction must end.
Liv Morgan’s wording also avoids an absolute judgment. Her assessment is about where the group is right now. Money in the Bank can alter that position, and the television afterward will show whether any improvement lasts.
Money in the Bank has to lead somewhere
Judgment Day approaches Saturday with enough involvement to change its fortunes. Liv Morgan has a Women’s World Championship match, Perez has a ladder match opportunity, and Rodriguez already holds a singles championship. WWE has several credible starting points for the faction’s next phase.
The meaningful test is how those positions develop. A Liv Morgan victory should establish what her restored championship means for her rivals and allies. A Perez victory should give Perez sustained agency over her own opportunity. Defeats should produce a response that advances the wrestlers involved.
Liv Morgan has identified a problem with the group’s momentum while remaining committed to it. The recent results explain why that assessment deserves attention, and the announced card explains why the situation can change.
Judgment Day has already proved it can survive changes to its lineup. Money in the Bank now presents an opportunity to give this lineup a clearer purpose. The result needs to matter after Saturday.

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
