3 Reasons why Dominik Mysterio needs to betray Liv Morgan in WWE

The iconic on-screen WWE couple, Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, are once again together since The Miracle Kid finally returned on television, recovering from her shoulder injury at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025. She initially teased a breakup with her kayfabe boyfriend, slapping him in front of John Cena, but it turned out to be a fluke to lure the legend, which helped "Dirty" Dom secure a win and recapture the Intercontinental Championship.

There have been significant rumors about Morgan and Mysterio's breakup for a long time, but it never came to fruition. While it may look like the Miracle Kid would end Dirty Dom's streak of betraying his loved ones by dumping him first, in this article, we will take a look at three reasons why the two-time Intercontinental Champion needs to betray Liv.

#3. It may help WWE push Liv Morgan as a babyface

Liv Morgan has established herself among the headliners and is also one of the favorites to win the 2026 Women's Royal Rumble Match. However, to do so, she needs a storyline and a strong motive to headline Mania.

Dominik Mysterio betraying her for someone else would lay seeds for her massive babyface turn and would craft a perfect retaliation storyline for her to win the Rumble and headline WrestleMania 42.

#2. Putting more heat on "Dirty" Dom

The current WWE IC Champion is one of the top heels on the active roster. He has a long history of backstabbing his loved ones; the list includes his father, Rey Mysterio, and his former onscreen girlfriend, Rhea Ripley.

Liv Morgan could end up on that list before the year ends; Dominik Mysterio betraying Morgan would put more heat on him, and fans' boos would grow more deafening.

#1. To set up a major women's storyline

Suppose, in a shocking twist, Dominik Mysterio betrays Liv Morgan; everyone, including the former WWE Women's World Champion, would assume Mysterio betrayed her for Roxanne Perez, but to everyone's shock, Raquel Rodriguez could emerge as the King of Luchador's new girlfriend.

The new duo together could kick Morgan out of Judgment Day and help Big Mami Cool capture the Women's World Title. This would craft a perfect Mania-worthy storyline, where the Miracle Kid could go on to win the Women's Royal Rumble Match to set up a rivalry with Rodriguez.
