Liv Morgan kisses Dominik Mysterio on WWE Raw
Liv Morgan’s Women’s World title reign is off and running thanks to an assist from Dominik Mysterio.
Morgan retained the Women’s title on Monday’s WWE Raw in a steel cage match against Becky Lynch, then kissed Mysterio, whose assist provided her the opportunity to retain.
A show-long storyline on Monday’s Raw episode involved Braun Strowman chasing down JD McDonagh, which played into Morgan’s cage match against Lynch.
Strowman defeated McDonagh in a match, then Carlito, Finn Balor, and McDonagh attacked Strowman after the bout. Strowman then chased McDonagh through the arena throughout the show. In one scene, McDonagh was seen talking to Morgan in the back of the arena before Strowman ran in and chased them off.
As Morgan wrestled Lynch, Dominik made his way to the ring and opened the cage door as Balor and McDonagh tried to keep Mysterio from interfering on Morgan’s behalf.
Strowman ran in and inadvertently slammed the cage door on Lynch’s head, allowing Morgan to escape the cage and retain.
Morgan approached Mysterio in the aisle after the match, but the USA Network feed cut off before the eventual kiss. The kiss was shown on the international feed, and WWE posted the clip on their social media channels:
Mysterio sold the kiss as though he was surprised and uninterested.
Mysterio also interfered in Morgan’s title win over Lynch at Satuday’s King & Queen of the Ring event, and a storyline alliance between the two is continuing to develop following the events on Raw.
