7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (1 December - Results & Review)
1. Monday Night Morgan
Rather than cutting up all of Liv Morgan’s contributions to Raw in her return to the red brand Monday night, it’s a lot more impactful to consolidate her impact to one big, shining section of praise.
Morgan followed up her surprise return at Survivor Series by being all over Raw, joining her Judgment Day stablemates in the ring and re-establishing herself as the de facto leader of the leaderless group. Liv’s promo basically served as a reset for the group by acknowledging all the whispers about the stable being “weak” or “falling apart”, and cast off that loser vibe by saying that all of that would change now that she was back. She issues a warning that they were at full strength and coming for “everything that’s ours.”
She didn’t waste any time either, confronting Stephanie Vaquer backstage and laying claim to the Women’s World Championship, nearly one year after she lost the title. Liv also led Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez to the ring when they took out the remainder of the women’s tag division to close out Raw, vamping for the camera and declaring that the Judgment Day was back.
In one night, Morgan firmly cemented herself as a cornerstone of Raw and a contender for the top women’s prize. She also reset and elevated a heel stable that desperately needed a shot in the arm. That’s one hell of a night.
