WWE expects to use Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio more in the coming weeks after internal frustration grew over how little direction they had been given after WrestleMania. Morgan is now set for a return to televised ring action on the upcoming episode of Raw, where she will enter the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
That matters now because Morgan has spent weeks off television as a wrestler, even though she walked out of WrestleMania as women’s world champion. She had not wrestled on TV since the Raw after WrestleMania, when she beat Sol Ruca, and the pause came after Stephanie Vaquer’s injury forced WWE to shelve the feud that was supposed to continue after the big event.
At WrestleMania, Morgan defeated Vaquer for the women’s world championship, giving WWE one of its top women a title and, for a moment, a clear path forward. Instead, the creative thread went quiet, and the lack of a replacement plan left Morgan in a holding pattern while fans wondered why a champion was not being used more often.
The new push appears aimed at correcting that stall. Morgan is scheduled to face Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Chelsea Green in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament on Raw, and the winner earns a title shot against the champion of their choosing. With SummerSlam approaching on Aug. 1-2, the result could shape not only Morgan’s next story but also which champion she targets if she advances.
Dominik Mysterio is expected to be featured more as the build to TripleMania starts to pick up, which gives WWE another reason to get both names back into regular television rotation. The concern, though, is the same one that lingered after WrestleMania: whether a short burst of booking is enough to replace the lost momentum from weeks of no clear direction. Morgan’s Raw match should answer part of that, but the longer test is whether WWE keeps her in a real storyline once the tournament moves on.
