Dominik Mysterio’s Reboot, Purple Breadcrumbs & Liv Morgan’s Strategic Chess

Dominik Mysterio’s Reboot, Purple Breadcrumbs & Liv Morgan’s Strategic Chess

Dominik Mysterio just picked up a AAA Mega Championship win over El Dragon Americano Original. On paper, that’s a reboot moment — a solo victory, a title, a statement. But if you watched the segment closely, you already know the problem: Liv Morgan is still the loudest person in Dom’s story.

This week on Wrestling Receipts, WriterMaven breaks down what the AAA win actually means for Dom’s character trajectory, why Finn Bálor’s interference created more questions than answers, and what the quiet return of purple imagery in Dom’s promos might be telling us about where Judgment Day is actually headed.

Plus — the women’s division is playing chess right now, and Liv is the one holding the board.


What We Cover


Dom’s Reboot — Or Is It?

The AAA Mega Championship win was positioned as a solo moment for Dominik. No Liv carrying the segment. No one doing the work for him. And yet the creative pattern hasn’t shifted: Dom’s most prominent storyline real estate still runs through Liv Morgan. WriterMaven argues Dom needs personal feuds that belong to him alone — stakes that don’t require Liv to anchor the emotional weight. The bigger question raised: does Judgment Day need new blood? A recruitment arc could be exactly the thing that repositions Dom as a leader rather than a co-star.

Finn Bálor’s Interference — And the Silence After

Finn attacked JD McDonagh to stop him from helping Dom during the match. It’s a loaded moment — Finn choosing to act, choosing a side, making it personal. But WWE didn’t follow it with a direct confrontation between Finn and Dom. No face-to-face. No acknowledgment. The receipt was written and then left on the table. WriterMaven examines what that missing beat costs the story and what it might mean for the Finn/Judgment Day thread going forward.


The Purple Breadcrumbs

This is where it gets interesting. Purple lettering. Purple imagery. Quietly reappearing in Dom’s promo presentation. If you’ve been following the receipts, you know purple isn’t a random aesthetic choice in this story — it’s a signal. WriterMaven traces what the color callback might be communicating and why these small details are worth paying attention to when WWE starts leaving them consistently.


Liv’s Strategic Chess in the Women’s Division

Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez, Bree, and Paige were all involved in a promo this week — and Liv’s fingerprints were all over the result. WriterMaven breaks down how Liv’s involvement keeps Roxanne and Raquel occupied and pointed away from her title picture. Whether that’s intentional booking or a byproduct of the broader storyline depends on how you’re reading it. Either way, it’s working in Liv’s favor — for now.

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,520
Look welcome my name is writer
Maybin.

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,880
I am the host of the Revs and
receives podcast I cover all

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,640
things judged the day.
This is now being recorded for

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,040
Spotify YouTube has its own
script so YouTube gets a

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,920
separate video while this goes
straight to Spotify.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,400
We're going to be talking about
pre raw discourse, raw discourse

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,760
and what can possibly happen
this raw like I said, felt like

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,160
a reboot.
I think a lot of people finally

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,600
had enough with dogs booking and
it forced a reboot because

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,440
things still felt disjointed.
We didn't get the advancement

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
like they did so much
advancement last week and then

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,800
it stops.
See, this is that starting stop

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,400
storyline with Judgment Day.
That just gets really annoying

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280
because when used to think the
ball is going to start rolling

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,840
with Judgment Day, they all pull
it back and it's like I said,

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,080
very, very annoying because this
is where you expect things to

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840
roll forward.
But we did get some bread crumbs

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,480
and they are big crumbs.
Like I said, it's good.

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,640
It's starting to feel like a
full slice of bread pretty soon,

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,440
but it's still bread crumbs.
But we did get that.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080
I'll see if you all ever saw
caught it.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,200
What I caught tonight regarding
Dom and we had the pre and like

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,440
I said, pre route discourse and
draw discourse and let's go

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,080
ahead and get started if I can
ever get my notes up.

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,040
So wrestle features and and a
lot of the other bigger

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,240
wrestling accounts was having to
was tweeting out that Dom hadn't

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,040
won a single main roster.
Madison beating John Cena at a

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,720
PLE and that was at last year at
Survivor Series and Dom

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,280
discourse was biking hard on the
X2 day.

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,680
Like I said, it was just a full
on fan civil war going on.

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,080
You got Liv fans wanting Liv to
do a blaming Dom and then Don's

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,080
fans were just upset about Don's
fuse getting taken away.

33
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520
I didn't really see a lot of,
well, I take that back.

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,320
There was a lot of Dom fans that
finally see the issue with Liv's

35
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,840
booking.
Like I said, she's turned into a

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,240
big for Texas and a black hole
of sucks similar to Ria if you

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,040
remember 2024.
And it's just like it's pulling

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,920
everybody's booking now and you
can't keep going like this.

39
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,040
If you're going to keep going
with Liv and Dom Dom needed to

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,800
be up there with her as relates
to booking and he's not tonight.

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Who was what was done doing?
He barely said 3 words, barely

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
one sentence, but who was
talking doing the most talking

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Liv.
And that's the issue if you're

44
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120
going to be presenting Bonnie
and Clyde, like I said, Bonnie

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,480
and Clyde, Natural Born Killers,
you know, this ride or die

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,120
situation, then Dom needs to be
up there with his booking.

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,240
I don't expect him to have like
them.

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,600
The both have the strongest
booking, but there should be

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,000
some trade off.
He Don should be doing his own

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,960
feuds, his own storylines and
you can be doing things like

51
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,640
that.
I suggested to someone else, if

52
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:09,200
you're not going to be having
Dom do anything like Feud could

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,560
be having Dom recruit possible
people for the Judgment Day.

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720
There is different things you
can do.

55
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,560
So, but Don doesn't get that.
Like I said, Liv just gets

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,680
everything.
He's the one talking.

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,840
She's getting all the spotlight
focus When when you thought Don

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,200
was finally going to be taking
over as just a leader, it just

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,600
skipped right over him and went
to live.

60
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440
And I think that finally hit
people hard last week.

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,240
And I was saying last week we
warned you about this.

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280
It shouldn't have been Liz feud
should not be thin.

63
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,400
She can add flavor to the feud,
but it shouldn't be her feud

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,000
because like I keep saying, if
the reverse was happening, you

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,760
would not like it if Don took
over Liz feud Raquel or live

66
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,920
with Stephanie.
So why is it OK for Dom's feud

67
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,520
to be taken over?
And so now we're getting we got

68
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,680
to Raw, we got that restarted
back up and rebooted, but it's

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,120
still angling because there was
no follow through.

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Are you going to have Finn
attack JD to him out, but then

71
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,760
you don't have Finn come out
after Dom wins to attack Dom

72
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,040
again or attack Finn or dim
fight or anything like that.

73
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,360
See, there was no follow through
there.

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080
So it's just a big tangling
thread when they could have been

75
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,520
doing so much more.
So that was the discourse on the

76
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,280
X and it's just been really
fascinating because I said I

77
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,040
called that last year also pre
wall when they the WWE was

78
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000
announcing 3 and page were going
to be a raw.

79
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,920
She did this big old yawn emoji.
Me, I'm like, woman, you're the

80
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,320
one pushing Raquela Roxanne to
the to the tag titles and then

81
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,120
here you are with a yawn emoji.
But then Roxanne, if you've been

82
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
looking at her social, she
posted, she posted her peep was

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,160
inspiring me and thanks for
walking so I can run.

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,520
It was the same announcement,
but peep what she did.

85
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,160
She did the judgment day scales
emoji, which is those black

86
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,720
scales.
Everybody uses that a judgment

87
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560
day.
She used a black heart and a

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,560
star.
Now star girl because she is

89
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,920
star girl.
We I know about the star, but

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,960
her including the black heart is
interesting because we've seen

91
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,120
that with Dom using a black
heart and we've seen Liv do a

92
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560
black heart.
So caveat and poor.

93
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200
We have seen Liv and Dom use the
black heart.

94
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Read initially went to black
some time last year, I want to

95
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,200
say, but it was just really
interesting.

96
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,880
We have Roxanne kind of talking
up the Judgment Day, which ties

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,120
into her calling up family
during the International

98
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560
interview.
But it's just really interesting

99
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,000
to see her use that particular
emoji because I was expecting

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,200
Star, I expect Judgment Day
scales.

101
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,160
But a black heart is really
interesting.

102
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,240
And as I have been noting for a
while, I haven't really been

103
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,120
putting it out there because
somebody's going to be saying,

104
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,800
well, no, he's nice.
He's too busy for social media,

105
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,760
even though he set that
baseline.

106
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,040
So I'll say it here, Dom has
been super, super, super, super

107
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,680
quiet on social media.
He does stories and then that's

108
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,640
it.
Has it been posting to the ex?

109
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,360
He hasn't really been reposting
their stories or liking anything

110
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,880
like that.
And as y'all know, from 2024, he

111
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,120
used to be on the ball with
that.

112
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,920
I'm not expecting him to be
reposting things immediately

113
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,520
because I thought that was
because you could time it two

114
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,920
years ago on how fast he would
like her stuff.

115
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880
But now you don't see that in
here.

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,840
Now he's just been quiet and
it's just and it's just been

117
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,720
odd.
Now I've the meta version for

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,840
this is that I do think maybe
they're kind of resetting his

119
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,200
response time.
So whenever he finishes with Lib

120
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,160
Dom, you won't have that same
expectation.

121
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,600
You won't be expecting Dom to
reply to to social media post

122
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,920
this quickly because he pretty
much crashed it with this.

123
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
And I get that, but it's just
really interesting.

124
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,840
Like I said, it's just something
to keep an eye on and he has

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,040
been posting different stories
so he is still active.

126
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,520
He's just not liking their stuff
anymore, especially on the X.

127
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,360
And like I said, it's Dom fan
civil war, like dolphins versus

128
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,680
little fans Civil war.
Even Don fans who liked lived on

129
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,000
are done with him after getting
ejected from the pen feud.

130
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,040
And it's just, it's just been
like I said, it's just been

131
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,840
hilarious to me.
Fans coping by having lived on

132
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,560
break from judgment Day.
And I don't see how that happens

133
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,280
because you're not building them
up properly as a couple.

134
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
I could see live not versus the
Laurel, Bonnie and Clyde,

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,520
Natural burn killers if they
were getting the proper build

136
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,080
up.
But they're not.

137
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800
So Caleb says they just posted
to the ex.

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,640
What did she say?
Let's see.

139
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Finn says really, Finn?
JD said.

140
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,680
Finn says JD really was a bobble
head tonight.

141
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Oh my gosh.
And Liam was posting nobody

142
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,520
better not touch her.
Me like you you.

143
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960
She's posting all that.
But was she out there for him?

144
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,880
No, it's that's like it's such a
sure gin moment.

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Let's see.
And then we got the spoilers pre

146
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,960
show where I do what things were
going on.

147
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,160
And I was got really concerned
because we did hear that it was

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400
going to be Dom versus the
original El Grande Americano.

149
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,520
Where did AAA make a
championship?

150
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,240
And then when they started doing
promos regarding it, I was I got

151
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,960
really concerned because usually
when they start doing that, that

152
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,600
usually means some kind of title
change.

153
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,320
I would not have put it past the
WWE to do a title change to put

154
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,680
the AAA belt on original El
Grande Americano because once it

155
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,760
goes rolls into their mass
versus match match in Mexico in

156
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,960
the end of May, then I wouldn't
put it past them to do that.

157
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,960
But they didn't.
I'm one.

158
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,520
I'll get to that later, but I
got really, really concerned

159
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,560
there because I want to bid.
I wouldn't have put it past the

160
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:07,360
WWE to do something like that
just to put more weight into

161
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,800
that big match.
That's mask versus match, mask

162
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,160
versus match, mask match in AAA
because there's there's a lot of

163
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,760
interest in that match.
Also.

164
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,440
We also got the notice of EO
versus Tolbrooka and it looks

165
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,960
like EO was not even in main
title contention because I was

166
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,640
looking because once they
announced that match, it looked

167
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600
like EO might be in staying
around.

168
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,160
I see now she could pivot and go
after Liz world title but just

169
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,280
by them having that match and
not having EO even address Lib

170
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360
or mention anything about titles
or title or anything like that,

171
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040
EO effectively removed herself
from world title contention

172
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,680
right now.
So we have live still not having

173
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:00,200
a challenger.
Meanwhile was saying on Friday

174
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,160
you have Smackdown where Rhea
has Jay coming back after her,

175
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,760
she has JC Jane after her she
was looking at last legend and

176
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,560
they she has a lot of
challenges.

177
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:17,240
You could even slot in Charlotte
two face Ria, or you can slot in

178
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,400
a little Lexa or any of these
other people like Julia.

179
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,800
You could do any of them.
And then here on Raw, there's

180
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,440
nobody because they're pretty
much forcing everybody else to

181
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,440
be either in I see title
contention with Becky or the tag

182
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,600
team.
And then Bailey and Lyra didn't

183
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,040
even show up today.
So this challenger pool just

184
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,040
gets even thinner.
I'm not even sure who could step

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280
up because they were saying
Nikki, but I still think she

186
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,760
still got a jacked up ankle.
Unless she's miraculously healed

187
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,400
to the point where she can start
fighting, but even then that's

188
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,120
just a stopgap challenger that's
not even done.

189
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,800
That's how I was two years ago.
But let's get into raw segment

190
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,160
wise.
We have the first segments where

191
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,320
scrap Daddy Adam Pierce is
talking to El Grande, Americano

192
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,840
Original and the Creed brothers.
I forgot their names, but them

193
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,280
forcing them into Mass was
hilarious because it barely, I

194
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,840
think it barely that one of
those masks, barely Brutus's

195
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,760
face, Brutus face.
So it's like you got a mass

196
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,320
barely hanging on the Creed
brothers while El Grande

197
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,080
Americano.
Originally I was talking to Adam

198
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Pierce and then here comes Liv
rolling up.

199
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,680
She barges into the conversation
and then she's speaking up for

200
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,520
Dom.
He's the hottest rising star.

201
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,960
What have you done for him, yada
yada yada.

202
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,720
He's just talking.
Dom is not saying anything and

203
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,480
El Grande was like, hey, stay
out of it.

204
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:46,560
And then Liv is just dismissing
El Grande and we're and then Dom

205
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,880
just does his one line of the
night where he's calling El

206
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,200
Grande.
You're not even a real luchador,

207
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120
which kind of contradicts what
happened with between him and El

208
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,880
Grande last year because he sent
El Grande on that path.

209
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,160
But got digress.
Then this is where Pierce uses

210
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,680
his own his own words against
her and turns this into a Dom

211
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,440
title defense where he has to
defend the AAA mega championship

212
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,400
against El Grande Americano
region now and Levis.

213
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,280
That's not what I meant.
And that ends that segment.

214
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,520
Like I said, Liv just pretty
much set up Dom.

215
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120
And that's why I got really
concerned that that's why I got

216
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,360
really concerned that Don could
lose that title because you

217
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,640
could do that.
You could just have Liv set

218
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880
things up and then Don lose the
title.

219
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,800
And like I said, I wouldn't put
it past the WWE to do something

220
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,640
like that.
But it didn't happen.

221
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,600
But you can see what happened.
Liv came in talking a lot of

222
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,560
stuff, talking a lot of shit and
got Dom into a title match that

223
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,840
he didn't want.
And again, this is that whole

224
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,320
thing.
Y'all remember when JD was

225
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,240
trying to talk on Don's behalf?
So you got JD that will try to

226
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,320
talk on Don's behalf, which
where he wasn't trying to where

227
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,760
he was trying to get Dom into
his rematch.

228
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600
And then you have Lib here who
talked a lot of crap and then

229
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,200
got Dom.
He had to forge the fit and that

230
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,000
was my big argument today.
Ben took out JD, but Lib was the

231
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,360
one who talked the big game.
If you're going to be Bonnie,

232
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,920
where where were you?
She wasn't out there and she

233
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520
hasn't been out there.
He's gay.

234
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,520
They, I wouldn't say she well,
she helped with him retain, but

235
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,640
that was mostly about her.
Everything just seems it's about

236
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,600
her nowadays.
Her helping Dom reclaim the

237
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Intercontinental title last year
was about her.

238
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,120
And then she's done nothing
since.

239
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040
And then he lost the
Intercontinental title because

240
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,000
she supposedly knew what Fed was
up to.

241
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:41,600
So is what it is.
Then we roll into the Raquel,

242
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Roxanne and Bree and Page promo.
Roxanne opened up with the

243
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880
personal connection to Breeze
and he was going to tell him

244
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Breed that he was going to carry
on to the legacy and then she

245
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,600
said I was setting the bar too
low.

246
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Basic kills.
The re response to Roxanne's are

247
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,280
your own legacy.
Don't be a footnote for Judgment

248
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Day.
Don't be lucky to live pretty

249
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
much Raquel went for the juggler
here.

250
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280
She went after Paige, called her
comeback girl who fumbles every

251
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,160
chance and scandal and I was
like, geez, you're going to

252
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,320
bring that up?
We're going to leave.

253
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,120
In the reality era.
This is where the ball breaks

254
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,200
out and then this is when Will
comes out ranch out and hits

255
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Breed with a code breaker and
pretty much helps Roxana Raquel

256
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,520
clean house and they stand tall
with titles.

257
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,320
And they did.
Then that was the end of that

258
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,880
segment and the crowd was
really, really quiet on that

259
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,120
one.
So I don't know what was going

260
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,640
on with the crowd on that one,
but the crowd was just they

261
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,120
weren't responding like I
thought they would do on that

262
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,240
one.
And then so this is the

263
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,160
justification here.
You had Liv yawning earlier and

264
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520
then she's inserting herself
back into the title picture or

265
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720
not the title picture, but she's
just inserting herself where

266
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,640
it's about her again or helping
Roxana, Raquel.

267
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,360
And I do think that this is to
keep their them occupied so they

268
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,840
don't look and go after her
title.

269
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080
But if you could just see that
she's just running around trying

270
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,000
to do everything just to keep
the the focus off her title.

271
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,320
And it's just it's just one of
those running around things.

272
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,680
And then he doesn't have no
challengers.

273
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,320
So you got that's another point
of some fans, just like like

274
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,880
where is Liz challenger?
It's like she's running into

275
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,120
he's doing her everybody else's
but her own title.

276
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Been easy just to spin it like
they gotta just ran so Rooka or

277
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,840
the title on that if they wanted
to or Neo.

278
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,720
But I guess they're just going
to keep it hidden until whenever

279
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,760
they pull whatever trigger with
Roxanne, Raquel, I don't know.

280
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,400
Then we had the international
backstage interview.

281
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600
Not backstage or at least the
international interview where

282
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,800
they're in a crowd where virus
accident is with Lib or Kayla

283
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,520
works in and Lib is interrupting
Byron to make an introduction

284
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,400
about herself.
The greatest of all time.

285
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,920
And if I hear that one more
time, I am going this just going

286
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,840
to make my ears bleed.
The Lib Morgan, the greatest of

287
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,720
all time, yadda yadda yadda.
You've heard it before.

288
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,240
She's introducing Raquel, but
Raquel and my name is her next

289
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,160
team champions hands off the
bike to Raquel to talk about the

290
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,960
titles and Roxanne closed that
When we need trust, nobody

291
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,080
trusts each other more than
family.

292
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,560
So here's that family thing
spinning up again.

293
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Fan got the last word in but Liv
is just still talking over about

294
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,360
it.
He's grabbing a mic.

295
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,200
It's there is Raquel and
Roxanne's opportunity next week

296
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,440
because they did say that that's
next week is for the women tag

297
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,400
team titles next week.
So it's their opportunity, but

298
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,000
it's live just talking all over
everything.

299
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,920
So you will see that tag team
next week.

300
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,480
I'm not sure how that is.
I wouldn't be surprised if

301
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Roxanne and Raquel show up to
smack down this this Friday.

302
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,080
And then we had throughout the
night we had promo or the mega

303
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,920
championship.
It's history like when it goes

304
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,320
from Tejano Junior to El.
He held it by Kingo and just

305
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,920
Doctor Wagner and you talking
about the lineage and how it's

306
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,000
with Dom now.
We had a promo with Dom and then

307
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240
we had a video promo with
Americano Origin.

308
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Now that's what I was saying.
I got really concerned because

309
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,480
usually when they spin that up,
that means the title change is

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,880
going to happen.
But during Dom's promo, if you

311
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,240
notice his purple lettering is
back.

312
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,160
Now, like I said, it's a
breadcrumb, but we've been

313
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,120
tracking that purple for a while
and he hasn't been going back to

314
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,760
purple.
Wasn't hasn't been a part of

315
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,200
Judgment Day aesthetics since
Live Joy.

316
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,120
It went from purple, which is
original Judgment Day like Finn

317
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:48,960
J, Finn, JD, Ria and Damian, and
then it went to black and white.

318
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,520
And he's still retaining some of
that old stuff, still have the

319
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,200
old English lettering in his
entrance tonight, but he had the

320
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,040
purple lettering in that promo
and he had the purple school

321
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,000
back and his entrance tonight.
So it's just really, so it's

322
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,600
just really interesting to see
the purple lettering come back.

323
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,320
And like I said, these are just
bread crumbs.

324
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,640
We're not getting anything
concrete and I don't think we

325
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,520
could still get anything
concrete like we did in 2020.

326
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Four 22,024 is different because
they had to do things because

327
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,720
Rhea wasn't there because she
was injured and they were just

328
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,880
making it really blatant that
way.

329
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,760
It was after dawn here.
Now I think they have to do it

330
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,960
has to be different and you just
and the only thing I wish they

331
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,560
would do is make a little bit
more clues more apparent.

332
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,640
Right now we're just getting a
lot of bread crumbs with this.

333
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,720
And then we got into the match
between Domino Garden American

334
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,960
and the original.
Dom sent El Grande Americano

335
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,240
original hard into that Tumblr
and buckle and he flew.

336
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,080
I'm not sure if that was an
accident or that was planned,

337
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,280
but old Chad Gable El Grande
Americano original just went

338
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,560
flying.
We got the finish coming where

339
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,440
we had Bravo REO from El Grade
Americano original El Grade

340
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Americano Ludwig edition came
out to interfere.

341
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,200
And then we got the Kree
brothers to fight them off and

342
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,840
then El Grade Americano, it was
pretty much interfering where El

343
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,680
Grande Americano was reaching
for his mask.

344
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,360
And that's when dog was able to
hit the 619 on El Grande

345
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:26,120
Americano to limited position
for the frog splash.

346
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:29,000
Doms hits the frog splash 123.
Dom retains.

347
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,600
Prior to this match, Dom, like I
said, I was walking out with JD

348
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,400
with it to come out.
So we've got that thread back of

349
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,520
been still messing around with
Judgement Day.

350
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,320
But after this match, we didn't
see Finn come back out.

351
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,960
We didn't get any kind of stare
down.

352
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880
We didn't see Finn try to take
Dom out again.

353
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320
We didn't see Dom fight Finn.
We could have had a brawl here

354
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,720
because you know, we could have
just had a simple brawl between

355
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Finn and Dom just to keep that
going.

356
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,160
But it was.
But nothing happened.

357
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,080
So we had Finn take out JD where
he couldn't help Dom and Dom was

358
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,880
on his own.
He won on his own because Liv

359
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720
wasn't there.
After she said he set the whole

360
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000
thing in motion.
But we don't get nothing to

361
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,640
follow up with Finn.
So it's just a really big

362
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,360
dangling thread.
And that wasn't then that's

363
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,440
another annoying part.
If we if we're rebooting

364
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,520
everything back to where it
should be, where it's between

365
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,600
Dom and Finn, where we can
actually use their history in

366
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,960
this feud, then why did you not
just have Finn come out after

367
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,440
the match?
Have Finn come out to the match

368
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:40,560
and attack Dom or just have Dom,
if Bin comes out there, it

369
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,360
attacks Bin.
Just have a brawl.

370
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,800
But they didn't do that.
So we just have a really big

371
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,400
dangling thread there.
So what was that?

372
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,440
My final observations on this is
just Liv is just doing the most

373
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,680
to keep Roxanne and Raquel
occupy, give him A tag team

374
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,480
title match.
Now their eyes are on Bri and

375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,960
Page instead of her title.
Liv is running around doing the

376
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,120
talking for everyone.
Dom could barely speak.

377
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,240
Roxanne and Raquel get shots in,
but Liv is making everything

378
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,600
about herself.
Everything is just being

379
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,800
controlled by her where nobody
can really get what they really

380
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,920
want to say.
Then they still targeting

381
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,440
Judgment day broadly, but
nothing is landing with Don

382
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,360
specifically.
So that's what I'm saying.

383
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,000
It looks like it wants to reset,
but it didn't.

384
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,480
There's no clear payoff beats
connecting here.

385
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,680
Dom wins alone where he he's
just pretty much on his own with

386
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,160
the wind.
And I'm glad he won and I'm glad

387
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,560
he's he won on his own and even
with the interference with from

388
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,760
all the Grande Americanos and
their associates and Los

389
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,400
Americanos.
But it's just really, it's just

390
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,000
really interesting just to see
him out there by himself live.

391
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,520
There was, I know why JD wasn't
out there, but there's nothing

392
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,040
there.
It was just it just he won.

393
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,360
That's it.
And like I said, I think this

394
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,960
was this is what was a reboot
for Dom.

395
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,560
They saw the the discourse on
the X and on social media and

396
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,880
oh, we need to do this to re
establish Dom and get him a big

397
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,080
win.
So the discourse dies down.

398
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,920
But the discourse isn't going to
die down.

399
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,520
It's going to keep spinning up,
especially with if they keep

400
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,840
going like they are, it's going
to keep going.

401
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:18,440
And like I said, we have the
purple lettering and Roxanne

402
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,920
social media post.
So like I said, bread crumbs,

403
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,320
but that's it.
Just it was only just bread

404
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,800
comes and that was raw.
We have to see next week.

405
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,520
Like I said, I am not telling
anybody to be patient with the

406
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,840
storyline because Lord knows I
can't tell anybody to be

407
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
patient.
I don't like that word.

408
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,360
I like the terminology.
We've been dealing with this

409
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:40,760
storyline for years at this
point.

410
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,920
I can't tell anybody to be
patient.

411
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,760
We'll just have to see what
happens next week.

412
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,640
Are we going to keep going?
What happens with this women's

413
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,360
tag team match?
What happens with Dom, What

414
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,520
happens with everything else?
We need to see what's going on

415
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,080
there.
I'm hoping that it advances for

416
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,400
if we're going to pull a trigger
at clash, at clash in Italy,

417
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,920
clash in Paris, please just get
the ball rolling on that.

418
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,160
If it's going to be SummerSlam,
we still need the beats.

419
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,320
So I'm just going to take this
raw as a reboot.

420
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,720
It wasn't the most exciting, but
at least it rebooted Dom to

421
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,480
something where he kind of was
reestablished and that's all we

422
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,440
can asked for at that point at
this point.

423
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,280
But that's raw.
