Liv Morgan says Dominik Mysterio relationship has ‘resurged couples in WWE’
Liv Morgan believes she and Dominik Mysterio helped bring couples back into focus in WWE.
Morgan told Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast that her pairing with Mysterio is the resurgence of WWE couples. She even compared themselves to being more iconic than ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage & Miss Elizabeth among other legendary relationships.
“I think, ultimately, we just understand the assignment. I feel like the fans love to hate us, or they hate to love us. It’s such an intriguing, complex, messy, wholesome, love story that we haven’t seen for a while, and I feel like the audience really loves that. And I think, honestly, we’re just iconic. I know I say that word a lot, but we’re just iconic together. I think we are the greatest couple in the history of WWE. I don’t mean that I’m not just saying that. I mean that wholeheartedly. We’re better than Becky and Seth, we’re better than AJ and CM Punk. We’re better than Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth. I stand on that. I feel like we’ve resurged couples in WWE. What couples were couples before Dominik and I? Now you have tons of people coupling up, trying to do what we do, but they just can’t.”
Morgan also explained the moment she and Mysterio kissed on-screen for the first time at SummerSlam 2024 after she defeated Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. She slightly heard the Cleveland Browns Stadium erupt at the moment but realized the impact when rewatching the tape. Morgan remarked Stephanie McMahon’s daughters who were in attendance ringside were aghast at what had happened.
“Yes, I did, but also watching it back, hit a different level cause I was so in it. But also I could hear, but also it was an open stadium so the noise leaves as well. So you kinda don’t realize how much of a ruckus it is until you kinda get to watch it back. So, I watched it back and was just like ‘holy sh*t, holy sh*t it was so cool’. It was so funny and I even saw Stephanie McMahon’s kids just shocked, just like ‘what the hell?’. It was super funny just seeing everyone’s reactions and their shock or their hatred for it.”
In 2024, Morgan’s sole quest was to get revenge on Ripley for inflicting a shoulder injury that forced her to be out for nearly eight months. Upon her return she plotted the Revenge Tour to strip Ripley of everyone and everything she had, leaving her with nothing. In the process, Morgan pursued Mysterio until he gave in at SummerSlam 2024. They’ve constantly supported each other to win matches in WWE.
