WWE Booking Frustration
WWE Staff Reportedly Frustrated with Booking of Champions Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio
Multiple reports say WWE staff are internally frustrated with the post–WrestleMania 42 handling of Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, despite both being major champions. Morgan’s planned continued rivalry with Stephanie Vaquer was derailed when Vaquer suffered a shoulder injury, leaving Morgan with little consistent television spotlight and no recent title defenses since regaining the Women’s World Championship. WWE is still expected to increase Morgan’s prominence on RAW regardless of Vaquer’s return, including her participation in the Queen of the Ring tournament for a potential title shot. As for Mysterio, WWE has reportedly focused more on keeping him visible on-screen than through frequent in-ring work, and his usage is expected to expand as WWE builds promotion for AAA events such as TripleMania. Overall, the issue is framed as a lack of clear direction rather than any concern about performance.
Key Points
Liv Morgan has reportedly not wrestled since defeating Sol Ruca in a non-title match on the RAW following WrestleMania 42.
Dominik Mysterio has reportedly been kept very inactive in-ring—he reportedly “has not even factoring into AAA Noches de la Grandes,” and has wrestled only four times since WrestleMania 42 (with all four reportedly on live events rather than major TV spots).
Mysterio’s most recent televised appearance was reported as the May 11 edition of RAW, where he defended the AAA Mega Championship against Original El Grande Americano—his first televised match since WrestleMania.
Stephanie Vaquer’s injury has been described more specifically as a “legitimate second-degree AC sprain” in her shoulder, which WWE creative reportedly used to justify pausing plans and shifting Morgan into the Queen of the Ring instead.
The report adds detail on the stakes for the Queen of the Ring: the winner is said to receive a title shot against either the Women’s Champion or the Women’s World Champion.
