Having been absent from WWE programming for the past several weeks, last night's WWE Raw saw the return of Liv Morgan.

Of course, Morgan had been spending time in Japan to film Takashi Miike's Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, with it reported over the past few days that Liv's WWE return could be imminent. And now, the New Jersey native is once again back in the WWE fold.

For Dominik Mysterio, though, Liv Morgan's return came at a slightly awkward moment, as the Intercontinental Champion was in the middle of receiving a shoulder massage from Roxanne Perez when Liv turned up in a backstage segment. Morgan promised to address this situation later, as she instead switched her focus to getting a Money in the Bank qualifying match - all as Carlito, JD McDonagh, and Roxanne looked on uncomfortably, and Finn Balor seemed to be having a blast at the tension of the scenario.

We'd later see Liv and Raquel Rodriguez bump into Kairi Sane and IYO SKY when looking to speak to Adam Pearce about Money in the Bank, with Morgan promising to cash in on IYO when she wins the women's MITB bout in a couple of weeks. Being the heel that she is, Liv couldn't help but mock Kairi for losing her qualifying match last week, which led to Liv Morgan vs. Kairi Sane last night.

Continuing the thread of Roxanne Perez possibly joining the Judgment Day, Sane scored a roll-up win over Liv after Raquel and Roxanne caused a distraction. Post-match, Morgan blamed Rodriguez for the loss.

Tensions In The Judgment Day

This most recent Raw saw further tensions within the Judgment Day, with it seeming only a matter of time before the group undergoes a significant change.

Finn Balor is revelling in the chaos, complete with forever having one eye on Dominik Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship. For Dirty Dom, he's regularly giving Finn ominous looks, not to mention Liv Morgan wasn't exactly thrilled to find Mysterio getting a massage from Roxanne Perez. As for Roxanne, the Prodgy is currently in the odd position of being, essentially, 'Judgment Day adjacent' rather than a fully fledged member of the faction just yet.

On top of that, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, with B-Fab and Michin seemingly next in line for the two, although it could well be that we see IYO SKY and Kairi Sane doing something with the Judgment Day duo in the coming weeks.

Many fans are predicting that we'll eventually get to a Dominik Mysterio vs. Finn Balor feud at some point soon, and if so, that would surely mean one of those men being booted to the curb by the Judgment Day... if not the complete dissolution of the group.
