History

[edit]

Formation and Women's Tag Team Champions (2023)

[edit]

On the February 10, 2023 episode of SmackDown, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez teamed for the first time, defeating Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville.[3] At Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 on April 2, 2023, Morgan and Rodriguez take part in the women's WrestleMania Showcase fatal four-way tag team match, which was won by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.[4] The following night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez defeated Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky) 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 win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.[5]

As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, both Morgan and Rodriguez were drafted to the Raw brand.[6] 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.[7] Morgan would make her return on the June 23 episode of SmackDown.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] The following week, Morgan was scheduled to face Ripley, however, the match never began as Ripley viciously attacked Morgan with a steel chair.[11] This was done to write Morgan off television, as she suffered another shoulder injury.[12] Rodriguez was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome,[13] which kept her out of action for much of 2024.[14]

The Judgment Day (2024–present)

[edit]
Main article: The Judgment Day

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, 2024 episode of Raw.[15][16] In the aftermath, Morgan captured the Women's World Championship by defeating Becky Lynch at the King and Queen of the Ring event, while also beginning to display more villainous traits. Morgan succeeded in stealing Ripley's on-screen love interest Dominik Mysterio and excommunicating Ripley from The Judgment Day at SummerSlam, joining the group herself on the following episode of Raw, turning heel.[17][18]

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, turning heel.[19] At Crown Jewel, Morgan defeated WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax to win the inaugural WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship after interference from Rodriguez and Mysterio.[20] 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.[21] At Survivor Series WarGames on November 30, both Morgan and Rodriguez competed in the women's WarGames match alongside Jax, Candice LeRae, and Tiffany Stratton against Ripley, Belair, Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Naomi in a losing effort, with Morgan being pinned by Ripley.[22] At the premiere of Raw on Netflix, Morgan lost the title to Ripley despite interference from Rodriguez and Mysterio, ending her reign at 226 days.[23]

At the Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, Morgan and Rodriguez participated in the namesake match, but were both eliminated by Nia 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.[24] On Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, Morgan and Rodriguez lost the titles to Lyra Valkyria and the returning Becky Lynch, ending their reign at 55 days.[25] The next night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez regained the titles from Lynch and Valkyria in a rematch to become record four-time champions.[26] On the June 16 episode of Raw, Morgan suffered a legitimate dislocated shoulder during a match against Kairi Sane, leaving the status of the tag titles unknown.[27]
