7 New Directions For WWE After Royal Rumble 2026

Judgment Day is a faction down in a hole and we don't know if it can be saved. Poor Raquel Rodriguez saw Liv Morgan's (black) heart, and watched her decorate the faction's forward momentum like a grave. That quasi-Alice In Chains lyric could be fitting, because a ticked off Raquel might bury Liv's title plans under dirt before WrestleMania.

Morgan going after Stephanie Vaquer makes all the sense in the world unless Raquel is going to beat Vaquer before then. Hmm, she likely won't. However, that’d bleed into the prior point about JD splitting. Liv vs. Rodriguez at WrestleMania 42? That isn’t bigger than Liv vs. Stephanie, but don't rule it out completely.

Whatever way you slice it, Morgan is guaranteed a massive match in April regardless. Michael Cole pointed out that she’d been a Rumble runner up twice before 2026’s win, and the voice of WWE was also keen to put across just how much of a super-fan Liv was growing up. This moment will mean the absolute world to her, and there's something heartfelt about that sentiment despite her bitchy heel character.

One can see this being the beginning of end of Judgement Day. Liv Morgan will have to explain why she eliminated Raquel. Admittedly, there’s a big ol' question mark hanging over things because we’ve been here before with the group. Liv and Roxanne Perez are also a fab tag-team, so it’d be a shame to see that splinter.

WWE have grand scale plans for Morgan wherever she goes in the immediate aftermath of Saudi, at least.
