Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are an American professional wrestling tag team. They are signed to WWE, where they perform on the Raw brand and are both members of The Judgment Day stable. They are also the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in their record-setting fourth reign as a team. Morgan is a former two-time Women's World Champion, while Rodriguez is a former two-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion and one-time NXT Women's Champion.
At Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 on April 2, 2023, Morgan and Rodriguez were paired together to take part in the women's WrestleMania Showcase fatal four-way tag team match, which was won by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.[1] The following night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez defeated Damage CTRL in a number one contenders match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. The following week on Raw, they defeated Becky Lynch and Lita to become new champions.[2]
As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, both Morgan and Rodriguez were drafted to the Raw brand.[3] On the May 19 episode of SmackDown, Morgan and Rodriguez vacated the titles due to Morgan suffering a shoulder injury, ending their first reign at 39 days.[4] Morgan would make her return on the June 23 episode of SmackDown.[5] At Money in the Bank on July 1, Morgan and Rodriguez defeated Rousey and Baszler to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for the second time after Baszler turned on Rousey.[6] On the July 17 episode of Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez lost the titles to Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville after Rhea Ripley attacked them backstage before the match, ending their second reign at 16 days.[7] The following week, Morgan was scheduled to face Ripley, however, the match never began as Ripley viciously attacked Morgan with a steel chair.[8] This was done to write Morgan off television, as she suffered another shoulder injury.[9] Rodriguez was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome,[10] which kept her out of action for much of 2024.[11]
While Rodriguez remained out of action, Morgan returned from her injury and resumed her feud with Ripley, with Morgan legitimately injuring Ripley during a backstage attack on the April 8 episode of Raw.[12][13] In the aftermath, Morgan captured the Women's World Championship by defeating Lynch on May 25 at King and Queen of the Ring while also beginning to display more villainous traits. Ultimately, Morgan succeeded in stealing Ripley's on-screen love interest "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and excommunicating both her and Damian Priest from The Judgment Day at SummerSlam and joining the group herself on the following episode of Raw.[14][15]
At Bad Blood on October 5, Rodriguez made her return after a seven-month hiatus and attacked Ripley to help Morgan retain her title since, becoming the newest member of The Judgment Day.[16] At Crown Jewel on November 2, Morgan defeated WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax to win the inaugural WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship after interference from Mysterio and Rodriguez.[17] On the November 11 episode of Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez failed to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship from Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 30, both Morgan and Rodriguez competed in the Women’s WarGames match alongside Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae against Ripley, Belair, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Naomi in a losing effort, with Morgan being pinned by Ripley.[18] At the premiere of Raw on Netflix, Morgan lost the title to Ripley despite interference from Mysterio and Rodriguez, ending her reign at 226 days.[19]
At the Royal Rumble on February 1, Morgan and Rodriguez participated in the namesake match, but were both eliminated by Jax. On the February 24 episode of Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez defeated Belair and Naomi to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for a record-setting third time after interference from Mysterio. [20] On Night 2 of Wrestlemania on April 20, Morgan and Rodriguez lost the titles to Lyra Valkyria and the returning Lynch, ending their reign at 55 days.[21] The next night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez regained the titles from Lynch and Valkyria in a rematch to become record four-time champions.[22]
After the match, Rousey asked why Raquel was even out there at ringside. She said she wanted a rematch for those Women's Tag Team Titles, and Ronda asked who her partner would be. Cue the returning Liv Morgan, who walked out to a strong reaction. They had a brief staredown before Rousey and Baszler left the ring. Solo vs. Sheamus was confirmed for later, as well as Pretty Deadly on the Grayson Waller Effect…[c]
