Liv Morgan gives Dominik Mysterio WWE return update
Dominik Mysterio should be back in the ring soon, according to his Judgment Day stablemate Liv Morgan.
The 28-year-old Mysterio suffered a shoulder injury at AAA Guerra de Titanes on December 20 but thankfully does not need to undergo surgery. There’s hope that he’ll only be sidelined for a few weeks and will be back in time for the Royal Rumble at the end of this month. During an in-character appearance on WWE’s Raw Recap podcast, Morgan added some optimism to that timeline by saying that Mysterio will be back shortly.
“Daddy Dom, he’s home resting. He’s recovering. We’re just playing it safe,” she responded when asked about Mysterio’s status. “He is, after all, our double champion. He is, as of right now, the crown jewel of The Judgment Day. So we protect and cater to Daddy Dom. And we’re just playing it safe with him. He’ll be back soon, but he’s doing some well deserved [rest and relaxation]. He was quite literally running Monday Night Raw for, like, the last full year. You don’t think that Daddy Dom deserves a little bit of a break, a little bit of a rest, a little bit of an off day, a little bit of a reprieve? My goodness.”
Mysterio remains the WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion amid his injury.
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 24, Morgan & Roxanne Perez have a chance to bring more gold to Judgment Day when they challenge Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. Judgment Day’s Finn Balor also has a title match coming up on Raw next Monday against World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.
