WWE superstar Liv Morgan discusses future of The Judgment Day after explosive Finn Bálor exit and issues warning to roster

It's been quite the year for WWE superstar Liv Morgan, who is fresh off filming Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo alongside Lily James, and reigned supreme at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh in January.

As a result, she'll have a title match against current Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer at this year's WrestleMania.

Morgan is also part of The Judgment Day, which she fronts with her on-screen beau, 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio. They're joined at the moment by fellow superstars, JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.

One notably absent name is Finn Bálor who just turned his back on Mysterio after refusing to help him cheat his way to retaining his Intercontinental Championship belt that he would go on to lose to Penta.

Radio Times caught up with Morgan after her spicy comments on Monday Night RAW (16 March), where she revealed she'd never trusted Bálor and was glad to see the back of him.

"I'm happy that we dropped the dead weight," she exclusively told us. "I've quite literally been waiting for this day since I joined The Judgment Day. I only ever withstood Finn because of his relationship with Dominik, who sees him as like a father figure, almost, and so just out of that pure love and respect I have for him, I've withstood all that comes with Finn.

"So am I happy that he's gone and I don't have to deal with him anymore? Yes, because when you listen to Finn, you don't win. I'm excited that The Judgment Day is back on track – we are in the most dominant faction in WWE and now we get to prove ourselves again and again."

Morgan went on to explain that it's "impossible" to stop The Judgment Day now – which is a terrifying prospect for Vaquer with her upcoming match, surely...

"Nothing was stopping me before, but especially now, there's no way," a determined Morgan shared. "The Judgment Day is my family and I'm so happy to be back with them. I think that we bring out the best of each other. To be reunited with them and to succeed with them means everything to me."

How does Morgan feel about her fellow female superstars in The Judgment Day? Though she's full of praise for them individually, it seems there's a seed of doubt with Morgan as to whether Perez and Rodriguez have the capabilities as a tag team...

"I don't know about them together – they lost my Tag Team Championships within seven days of winning them... but individually, fire," she said.

"Roxanne is a prodigy, she's my prodigy. I know Roxanne is going to have a long, illustrious career, accomplishing many accolades. And I'm so happy that Raquel is finally getting all of the adoration and admiration and kudos that she deserves!

"She's always been that good and so people finally opening their eyes to what a beast big sexy Raquel is makes my heart so happy because she's going to take over the world."

With more to come this year from Morgan, no doubt, how is she feeling about being caught up in the whirlwind?

"Grateful. I feel blessed. I'm just trying to stay present in the moment and enjoy all these things while they're going on. I hope to just keep being able to do more amazing things!"

One thing is for certain: the women's roster in WWE is especially strong at the moment – and only getting stronger with a number of NXT talent like Sol Ruca performing outstandingly well at the Royal Rumble match against Morgan.

"Being a woman in this business, we all have an unspoken common goal that we're going to make this the best it could possibly be, but we're going to leave this better than we found it.

"To have all these women that we know are going to be future Main Event-ers, future history-makers, leaves us all in extreme comfort knowing that the future of women's wrestling is in amazingly capable hands with the likes of Sol Ruca, Tatum Paxley and so many from NXT.

"We're all happy and thrilled, but if they think that they're going to come on to the main roster and have an easy time? Girlies, you are great, but you are sorely, sorely mistaken."

So to whoever stands in Morgan's way, consider yourselves warned.
