Liv Morgan Breaks Silence on Royal Rumble Shocker, Says She Did Nothing Wrong to Raquel Rodriguez
Liv Morgan isn’t backing down after one of the most talked-about moments of the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble. Fresh off her dramatic return from injury at Survivor Series 2026, Morgan has been right in the middle of WWE’s biggest storylines. Her comeback saw her help Dominik Mysterio regain the Intercontinental Championship from John Cena, immediately raising questions about where her loyalties truly lie within The Judgment Day.
While Morgan initially kept fans guessing, things appeared stable. She even shifted focus toward the tag team division alongside Roxanne Perez after Raquel Rodriguez set her sights on the Women’s World Championship. But stability didn’t last long.
Everything changed at the Royal Rumble.
Morgan outlasted 29 other competitors to punch her ticket to WrestleMania 42—but not before stunning everyone by eliminating her own teammate, Raquel Rodriguez. The moment instantly sparked backlash, with many accusing Morgan of betrayal.
Now, she’s responding.
Speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Morgan defended her actions and made it clear she believes Rodriguez has no reason to feel wronged. According to Morgan, opportunity was the deciding factor.
Rodriguez, she pointed out, has already had multiple chances at championship glory in recent months—including four title matches against Stephanie. Morgan, on the other hand, finally has her moment.
From Morgan’s perspective, it was simple: everyone was fighting for the same prize, and she took her shot when it mattered most.
Even more surprising was Morgan’s calm reaction to the idea of retaliation. She insisted she’s not worried about Rodriguez turning on her, citing the personal struggles they’ve overcome together—from Rodriguez’s illness to Morgan’s own shoulder surgery.
Morgan believes their bond runs deeper than a single title opportunity.
Whether Rodriguez agrees remains to be seen, but with WrestleMania 42 approaching fast, Liv Morgan’s Royal Rumble decision may have just set the stage for an explosive showdown—inside or outside The Judgment Day.
