Liv Morgan Puts Finn Balor On Notice - "It's Not Dominik I Don't Trust!"

0:00 So welcome, welcome. My name is writer Maven. I am the host of the Wrestling Receipt podcast. I talk about all things judgment day, Dom, Libra, kill, JD, then Roxanne. No more Carlito. I'm going to miss my cool uncle Carlito. As y'all have probably heard by now, Carlito's contract was not renewed with the WWE and he is no longer with the Judgment Day as evidence tonight. And you can actually feel the how everything got sucked out of Judgment Day with his leaving.

0:43 I mean, there's no humor. And without humor there is no Judgment Day. So maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Jake, that Carly Toe is gone. Because if it's just going to be like this humor, humorless, serious Judgment Day, I don't want it. They tried pressing that version with Edge when he first started it up and it didn't work and it only had and things only seem to click with Dom arrived and he added some much needed levity and humor to the group. So once this Carlito's gone and probably now the Dom and liver against the world, now every day is no more 'cause I know I'm not going to be sticking around to talk about Finn and his demonic self.

1:24 I will say this role had me in a state of I am confusion because there are just so many little bits where I can tell where they want to go with the storyline. But it doesn't jive with the narrative and it doesn't jive with with what is being presented on screen either in the past couple of weeks or even the past couple of years. There's some pits that don't make sense and I put that on the X. Like there's things where you knew last year that that Damian are are going to get betrayed because they acted like they were going to get betrayed. They did things to ensure that.

2:06 But here with Dom and Liv, they haven't done that. Like we haven't seen Dom be like an ass, like Finn has been an ass to him. We haven't seen Liv just like be all about Dom to the point where she's been neglecting Raquel. We haven't seen that. We only might seem like a little piece of it these past couple of weeks, but it's only been like a couple of weeks. It's not like it's been something that's been brewing for months. You know, something that would have taken advantage of all this long term booking installing that Triple H likes to do like now. It just seems like we're speed running now and it doesn't make sense like this. When the when it makes sense where you want to kick out thin, but then you start speed running everything else where nothing else makes sense, then you know we're losing a plot here.

2:54 So yeah, it's just I'm in. It's just in a state of confusion. I'll talk about it when I get through the Judgment Day clubhouse that they have an immense problems again with Cole and Pat's commentary regarding Dom. And there's just a lot of little bits and pieces that I like. Again, I said don't make sense. So let's get into it, shall we? Pre raw and bring up my notes pre raw. So pre raw, I, I encourage everybody to go to the YouTube where they posted Dom and Lib sneaker shopping. That was another like a Rolex date with them. Like how Dom spend all that money for a Rolex for lives here.

3:35 He's spending a whole bunch of money to take Lib shoes shopping, sneaker shopping. And it said like he he spent like what, $9000 or something like that, almost $10,000 again for them to sneak to sneaker shop and match. Like that man's got it bad. And if you look at some of the pictures seen here, it's apparent that Dom was with her when she posted the pic, when Liv posted the pic of her with all those like chicken wings and stuff like that. You remember when Roxanne gave Dom those chicken Nuggets are looking dry And then Liv posted a picture like showing like all that chicken wings and tenders and stuff like that.

4:17 Apparently that's was their date then like Dom and Liv's date. So when Roxanne was giving Dom those dry ass Nuggets, you know, Dom had already been on a date with Liv after she got back from Japan and they had that date with all the chicken Nuggets, chicken tenders. So that's really some that's a nice little Cafe Lord. I got snuck in there for the during this sneaker shopping video. But I strongly out strongly encourage y'all to go watch it. It's on YouTube. Lib was promoting it, Dog was promoting it on the X. So if you can go ahead and watch that video. I didn't get a chance to go on here yesterday because things were going on with me, but I was really not feeling good. So we saw that R Truth Carlito and now Valhalla has been released from the WWE or at least their contracts will not be renewed.

5:15 But still it's a release. You know, it's just that they won't have a 90 day no compete, no compete clause with them. And then there's also speculation with the miss 'cause he like stripped down like his whole social media remove some some things as well. There's some inklings that there might be some more releases. And again, with this our truth thing, it's just really showing that fans are really having it, not having it with R Truth. Because why would you put R Truth and Carlito, unlike an ambassador or Legend's Contract, why are you just releasing them outright?

5:56 Like if you can have titles Titus O'Neil as an ambassador, you can have R Truth as an ambassador. Or if you don't want to give them ambassador roles, you could be giving Carlito and Our Truth legends roles because they've more than deserve those. Those legends roles. Like I said with Carlito is that hits the hardest with Judgment Day, 'cause he was all, he was a part of Judgment Day all the way up into next last week. It's same thing with Our Truth. I'm really not liking how they're releasing people mid storyline. It used to be and it was bad then, but at least used to be when you got when people got released, they weren't a part of a of an active storyline. Like they would be gone for months.

6:37 And then when you still see that they've been released, then they haven't been on TV and they haven't been impacted. They're not impacting a major storyline in any way. Carlito leaving impacts the judgment Day majorly because like I said, he was the humor. And like I said, I'm not sure I want to have to be a part and watch Judgment Day if it's just gonna be then sneaking around and being demonic. Like we need the humor. We need humor to break up things. And it's not just not going to be fun anymore. But yeah, these releases are really getting to me. Just because you're seeing TKO and Triple H, you can't ignore Triple H in this.

7:24 You have to include Triple H with all the toss. It's not just TKO. It's not just Endeavour. Triple H is involved with this too. It's just bugging me that they're doing all these releases and it looks like they're gutting the mid card too. Like these are people that are part of the mid card. What you could be using them for something else and you're releasing people in mid storyline where it don't make no sense. Like and there's people now I'm not an advocate of people losing their job. I don't I don't play like that. But there are, you know, there's like other people you would think that'd be like, OK, why are they still here? But these people that are being used or not, and it can't just because of a contract, especially when TKO keeps gouging with prices and gouging with, you know, with who they want all this stuff and it's just a mess. I'm not liking how the WWE is.

8:17 I mean, I was in some bad times with Vince McMahon in the dark ages when he was, you know, doing repeat matches after repeat matches. But now it may get end up being even worse than the Vince era, and that's saying something. But yeah, so that's the releases too, that I want to talk about a little bit. But I'm going to miss Colito and people are still and then before I get into RAW, people are still bitching about Dom's booking now lives now with Dom. I really don't get what people expect Dom to be doing right now. He's in the storyline.

9:00 He's locked in with Finn. They're locked. They're locked in with Dom. OK, so sorry. So with Dom, he's locked in with Finn and possibly AJ now that we've seen on RAW. And so he's got a story, he's got a few, he's got like a couple of views waiting for him. It's not like he's not doing anything. This would be something like if he was off TV for weeks. He's not. And with El Grano Americano winning that last spot is I'm kind of glad he's not in the Manila Bank match right now. Like what are we doing here? So I still don't get the bitching. Like who is he supposed to be wrestling? Is he supposed to be wrestling dragon weed?

9:41 Like I would like the Dragon League match, but I would like it to be a nice feud and stuff for the match too. But you got to build that feud. And if you build that feud and you have Dom wrestling, there's a chance that Dom will lose. And then you got people bitching 'cause Dom is losing so you know, you got y'all got. People gotta be careful what they wish for when it relates to like wrestling and booking matches and things like that. And then with Liv, like I'm not getting any what people are bitching about with her 'cause she's actually more protected than Dom. Like she has protected losses. Yeah, she lost here with Stephanie, and I'm going to get into why that lot of match is going to be sucking. But she's protected.

10:26 Like she's way more protected than Nom, So I'm not getting where people want the booking. She looks like she's getting right back into the title feud with EO now. So again, people need to be covering what they wish for when it comes to booking and things like that. Like I can get it if you're impatient and you want them pulling triggers on certain things like within and all that. I get that. And y'all know that. I never say to be patient with Tribulation booking and the process is selected. Y'all know me. But on the other hand, you know, when you're getting something and it's actually moving forward, then you you know, it's can't, you can't just keep bitching about it too. Like you may not like the way it's going, but at least it's going a certain direction, you know what I mean?

11:10 But you know, you can bitch about it, But you know, I almost would say like be careful on how you bitch about it, like you know what I mean? So, so that's that. Let's get into raw, shall we? So Monday Night Raw I'm going to skip all the CM Punk stuff so we're going to get it into Live in the Hallway of Doom with Raquel. Roxanne comes up on Liv and Raquel and offers her help. Liv rejects the help and says Roxanne to stay away. Notice she said for Roxanne to stay away.

11:50 Did she say Raquel to stay away? No, Liv walks off and then Roxanne and Raquel have like the either an argument or a talk in the background. They that could be just for stroke, but they're doing that all behind Liz back. As Liv is walking she comes across EO and say so she's coming for the table. EO says that she doesn't think so and Liz says watch me. So Liv is now still being shown as interested in the title. I like it cuz I do like a EO and move Max but I don't want it to be a stopgap just so Ria can get the belt after EO you know? You know how it was last year, how EO was used as a stopgap between Liv and Ria's title match where Liv lost that? I don't want Liv to be a stop gap between Ria and EO where Ria get the belt after this.

12:46 You know what I mean? Like I want a nice feud between EO and Liv. I don't want it just to be 1 and done where Liv loses and then here comes Ria and then she gets the belt back right after. Like, I don't want that women's ladder match. Stephanie has some good presence here, and Stephanie wins and there's no interference. Like, where were you, Raquel? Like at least last week, Roxanne was coming out to supposedly help here. Raquel didn't show up at all. So it's really, really interesting that she didn't show up here. And with Stephanie winning, I am now declaring that this this ladder match, this money in the bank ladder match is going to be asked. Why am I saying it's going to be asked? Because we only, the only veteran in there that can be taking these big bumps that we know can take these big bumps is Naomi.

13:37 Alexis has been in the money to bank matches, but she don't take the bumps. I complained about this the other day. Like with Alexa, she will, you know, she might take a bump and then lay around the ring for like a good chunk of the time, then come back and do another bunch and then lay around again. That's not good. I don't like it. And all these other people, we don't know how they're going to be in the ladder match. We don't know how Ria's gonna act. We don't know how Julia's gonna act. We don't know how Stephanie's gonna act. Roxanne has been in a ladder match, but still, that's NXT. This is different. Like who's gonna be doing the bumps in this match? Like I better not be seen like Naomi taking all these big ass bumps and spots where everybody else are just, you know, standing around doing shit.

14:24 Like all the people that's been in a lot of match they've been doing the spots are not in it. We don't have AEO in there. We don't have a lira in there. We don't have natty in there to to set the pace. We don't have Nikki. Nikki would be a good in here. Nikki, Nikki cross, we don't have her in there. Me chin would be good in this one. Any of these other older girls, older women. Chelsea. Chelsea would be good in this match if we had me chin. Chelsea, Nikki, EO, Lyra, Kati, Bailey, in addition to Naomi, any of them that would have at least ensured that we will be getting a nice decent match when it comes to spots because everybody else would be able to take these spots with just Naomi being there, being able to take the spot.

15:19 I'm not sure about the match quality. People are saying that, oh, this is gonna blow the roof off now. I, I really think it's not gonna do as well. The men's might actually do better this year than the women. You know, mark me down for that. Like when we come across on Saturday, like it might just end up being the women not having a good money in a bank match just because of how who's in it and I am since Liv is not in this match, I'm only for a Naomi win. Rhea doesn't need it. Rhea doesn't need it. Stephanie doesn't need it, Julia doesn't need it. Roxanne needs to lose to further along the Judgment Day stuff and and Alexa, I really don't care. You know she they want to do something with Wyatt 6. Let her do something with Wyatt 6, but Naomi needs to win it. She's got the most character.

16:13 She has the most development. She's been acting her ass off and working her ass off for months with this character. This can proceed with caution character with Naomi. So me as a ride or die for Naomi. She needs to win this match. I don't want to see nobody else. I don't want to see eating thing of mommy in the bank. Like I don't need to see that. So so that's that. And then we had this interesting bit of Paul trying to go after AJ and then he was insulting down like he's greasy and all that stuff like that. And I'm like, first of all, Paul, I was talking you up last week, so why are you going to make me look bad now? But now that I've been thinking about it, this could be a reverse psychology because Paul did the same thing to Seth before he joined Paul, I mean, before Paul joined Seth. So it's interesting that Paul has Don's name in his mouth when he didn't need to have Don's name in his mouth. Think about it.

17:17 He could have just mentioned that AJ should be going after the Intercontinental title. And we know that Don's holding the Intercontinental title like he didn't. He didn't need to add the extra bits with Dom. So maybe there's still something there with Paul and Dom there, or Paul, Dom and Seth. So it's not a lost cause just yet. Somebody on the X was just like, oh, was really tackling about it. Oh, there goes your theory. I'm like, no, I mean, Seth, you know, Dom said he hated Seth before he joined them. So that doesn't mean anything, you know, you can say one thing and do another. So right now it just seems like that was a reverse psychology. But then AJ says that he's still going to be coming after Interconnected title, which is why I said that that's probably going to happen at Night of Champions. Like I was right about that.

18:06 People were saying that's going to happen at Money to Bank. I'm like, no, I think that's going to do that for Night of Champions 'cause they need, they need all hands on deck for that PLE. So yeah, that's probably going to be Dom versus AJ at Night of Champions, The Judgment Day, Finn and JD versus War Raiders. Finn and JD win with the Roxanne's distraction. Finn was all happy about it with his demonic said, but Pete, JD here, JD was not happy with that interference. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he got the win, but was he happy that Roxanne interfered?

18:47 No, he wasn't. So it's really interesting how JD reaction to Roxanne compared to Finn's reaction to Roxanne. And then we're back in the clubhouse and Carlito is gone. And that wore his shirt, which was nice. Bill talks to Finn and tells him that she's on to him. Like she's like, I know the the chicken tendies and shoulder rubs and things like that. And it's and it's a call out of what she did last year, like with Dawn with the chick attendees and the rubs and stuff like that. But in that case, last year, we always suspected that Dawn was already with Liv in the 1st place. So this was more like an action to get Dom to profess publicly instead of privately last year. This time it's more like Roxanne trying to do it just to sway Dom and it's not working.

19:42 But Liv said that she's on to Finn. And then, you know, Finn is all like, well, Spin says that, you know, eventually you'll you know, you'll you'll trust trust them. And then Liv says something really important. She says that it's not Dominic that she doesn't trust. So Liv and Dom are tight. They're good. Liv Dom is fine. So for all my Liv Dom fans, they're fine. Liv said, and I'm going to repeat it again, it's not Dominic that she does not trust and that flew way over Finn's head. So she is on to Finn and she put him on notice. And then Finn, you know, offers to have Roxanne out there for Raquel, but Liv rules them saying that she wants, you know, she's going to be out there for Raquel and you know, they take off.

20:37 Then here we have Dom doing his like apology bed of oh, I'm sorry about the chair. And Finn says his water under bridge and then he hits his title belt. And again, Pete, Don's face when Finn does that. He did not like that at all. Now for you for another important bit. Raquel was either mean money mugging Dom or Fender in this segment. And I am not getting this. If it's directed at Dom, I'm not getting it. Why am I not getting it? Because Dom hasn't done anything to her. Like you can say that oh, maybe Dom is taking those attention away from her. But you remember when I was saying how things are seem like they're speed running.

21:22 This is something that needed to be developed months or weeks and almost months in advance. Like we needed to see that Lil was ignoring Raquel because for right now, it doesn't look like Liv has been ignoring Raquel. She just went away for Japan. But that shouldn't be enough for somebody to start getting, you know, jealous over attention that she might be giving Dom, You know what I mean? Like, it's too rushed and it doesn't make sense. So we might still have like something going like the loft Familia split of Dom Liv and Raquel, but if they're going to have Raquel turn on Liv, it it's still not making sense because, you know, Liv has not been acting this certain, you know, bougie up in her nose up in the air way with Raquel. It's not like, it's not like she's got, you don't remember Molina.

22:25 Molina in the Ruthless Aggression era where she had the paparazzi followed her around, you know, wanting to take her pictures. It's not like Liv was like Molina where when she steps out of the Judgment Day clubhouse, she's got paparazzi wanted to take her picture. And she ignores Raquel. Like if she started doing something like that where it's not something where she's not doing it intentionally, but Raquel feels a certain way about it, then yeah, I would get it. But we haven't gotten that from live towards Raquel. And it's the same thing with Dom Dom has not done anything to Raquel. It's not like Dom is trying to sneak away live where Raquel doesn't get any kind of time with Liv.

23:11 We haven't seen that. Now, we've seen their dates on social media and we've seen what they do outside of WWE television and social media, but it's not. But that doesn't. But still that's their thing. I mean, it's like you can almost treat that like it's a date between them. It's not like where like Liv and Raquel are, you know, have doing something. Dom rolls up and says, like, hey, Liv, let's go do this. And then Liv is like, OK, and it walks off with Dom. We don't get, we're not getting that kind of treatment on WWE television. So This is why it doesn't make sense to me and it's not jiving. The narrative's not working here for some reason. Now we can still get like Judgment Day split where it's just lived on against the world and you got Finn over here with Roxanne or Raquel and things like that. And you can do that.

24:12 But there are pieces missing because it was Finn, those being the ass to Dom, and it's been being the ass to live. And we don't get none of that back towards Finn. I mean, Don has been costing Finn like on the sly, but it's not something really, really overt, like where out of the blue Finn is just like being this ass to Finn where it's uncalled for. You know, when every time Don does something, it's in response to what Finn does. It's not like Don is doing this out of his own volition just yet. You'll see what I mean.

24:52 So there's a there's some trunks here that's not missing that are missing or don't make sense. And that's why I'm in a state of I am confusion because I can't really just say like, hey, they're gonna go with Feb and Roxanne and Dom and live by Summer Slam because still, that doesn't make sense to me. I mean, yeah, they can do that. And maybe just what they would have to pick size, but still, that's gonna be really lackluster. And if they go with like a repeat of last year where they look like they're going to kick out Liv and Dom, that's still lackluster because it won't hit the same like it did last year like Liv. And I'm getting kicked out now. Will it hit the same like last year? No, because everybody would be cheering for living Dom. And then just the day right now, we'll just be in shambles because nobody's gonna be paying attention to him. Like right now when JD and Finn won. Do you see any kind of cheers or booze for them? No.

25:48 But do you you heard the cheers for Liz. You see, it's that, it's it's that that's not making sense. And it's keeping me in a state of computer right now. But I almost need another week or something else needs to happen. Like maybe we'll see what happens at World Collide or at Money in the Bank or something like that. Cause or smack down something. Something else needs to happen where I can just go, OK, this is what's going on. This is what's going to happen right now. I can't call it. And then Raquel versus Cotty. Now. I want y'all, I don't know if y'all were able to hear this narrative, This might have been just on the international feed where Pat and Cole were talking about Dom and women.

26:36 They're talking about Dom like he's a womanizer. And I'm like, Don's only been with like two women. We haven't seen Dom do any kind of eyes to our any other women. And see, that's what sets him apart from Eddie Guerrero. He doesn't do the flirtatious thing with other women. But you when you listen to Paul Patton Cole, it's like he's womanizing. And I'm like, that doesn't make sense. Like even with the cheating, if you can call it cheating, Dom cheating on Ria, it still wasn't a womanizing thing. See, This is why you have to pay attention to the patent Cole narrative because it started like it, it sounded like they were gonna switch it up where 'cause they were saying like, OK, Finn is instigating stuff and I'm like, OK, now Cole is acknowledging that Finn is instigating things in Judgment Day.

27:25 OK, cool, fine. We're we are. We see that. But now the dumb they're saying he's a woman, Arthur and then Pat was saying that Don was a fumbler in regards to Ria. Now y'all know me on the ex and I'm saying if you know where he's saying that Don Fumblebria. I have a saying that I keep posting when everybody, some everybody says that I say even though for every beautiful woman, there's a man who is who is sick of her shit. Now is that misogynistic? Maybe, but it really is case. It fits because she might be beautiful. She might be all that, but there's always gonna be somebody that gets sick of her shit and Don was sick of her shit.

28:12 Like how you gonna say that? Don't fumble Ria when Ria is still over here walking around still acting the same way and not doing anything and she's still bringing up old shit at this Netflix to them, like at the Netflix to them. Rhea was saying that Jesmit Day hasn't been the same without her and I was like how you know, how big headed can you be saying that? I mean, who has the titles of Jesmit Day? It's Libra, Cal and Dom. You don't have a title. So and you lost your title twice. So you know, it's just sounds really big. Haven't heard to say that you're gonna sit over here on commentary with Cole saying that Dom fumble that, please. And then again, Don Cole was saying that Don is being big headed and, you know, high and mighty about himself for not being out there.

29:11 And again, I have to call bullshit on that because how come it's a problem with Don's not out there? But it wasn't a problem when Don was out there suffering the people for Jesuit Day when everybody else had the title. You see what I mean? This is where this this is where this narrative thing and how the pieces aren't fitting right. So if y'all want living them on their own and kicked out where their faces or at least tweeters when the narrative change, why are you still presenting them as this womanizer and as this big headed guy that smells it apparently care about Jesmit Day? You're presenting him steal as a heel on commentary sense. And see This is why we need the heal commentator cause at least a heal commentator like Wave would have put some put up, would have put some perspective on this. So the commentary is not matching up with what's going on with the Judgment day storyline.

30:07 You got commentary still having Dom be then live being presented like heels here, which is fine. I don't want them to turn, just to turn face for whatever reason. I rather them be heels. But if you're going to present Dom and live as heels, then why are you still presenting the Judgment Day storyline where it looks like they've been there, like everybody's going against them, but then the storyline don't match up. But they haven't done enough. He was stuff. So you have commentary having Dom and live as heels, but Dom and Liv themselves have not done enough heal is shit to justify being kicked out by judgment day right now. Or just something Or a schism within judgment day. You see what I mean?

30:58 There's stuff missing here. Like we needed to either have Dom be really possessive live where she couldn't get to Raquel or live doing the told paparazzi Princess they were, you know, she's up in the air and she's like, maybe live and see. They could have been doing this with Livin Dom now, like Livin Nom on the red carpet. They get the paparazzi treatment. You know, they're getting the camera flashes, everybody's, you know, calling her name, all that. And then they ignore all the rest of desert day. If they were doing something like that where everybody else is getting jealous stuffing to find that would make sense for them, for the other judgement, they members be like, OK, we're not dealing with this.

31:42 And then they want to kick him out. See, But I would might have still little have a problem with some of the narrative on that. But at least they will be doing enough for that narrative and Patton Cole's narratives to make sense. You see what I mean? But we're not getting that. So there's just a lot of bits and pieces that are missing with the commentary and it's a lot of this and pieces missing with the story and I still don't have no clue what's going to go, what's going to happen. Lil goes to distract EO where not distract live with live with to distract county. When EO comes out to fight her off, Kyrie takes advantage of the distraction to pick up the win against Raquel. It's going to look like it's probably going to be a women's tag team match, title match, either at night of champions or something like that.

32:33 They might even do like a three-way with me chin and be fab so EO and Kyrie don't get the don't get pinned there. So they could do something like that. They'll have Beeching and beef AB and EO and Cardi and then Liv and Raquel can pin beef AB and the chin and then that'll spit up the Liv versus, you know, match maybe later on down the line. So that's what's wrong. Like I said, the narrative is all over the place. I'm not sure what they're doing. It relates to the to this narrative. I don't like it.

33:13 It's it's just seems like everything is either getting rushed or dot or Triple H is pulling things out of tap triple H8 subtle. So maybe it will be just lived on against the world. But still, it's just something's just just not making sense. I can see a split with the Judgment Day or the Dome versus the world, but like I said, certain storyline beats aren't making sense. Last year we saw how Damian and Ria would get betrayed. Now we don't I'm not seeing it. We have a we know that Finn has a problem with wanting to leave Judgment Day, but Dom and Liv haven't done anything to have others turn on them.

33:56 You know, like Finn could have a problem, but it should be like more like Finn against everybody else instead of everybody else against Slim and Dom. You see what I mean? And like I said, if Don is heading for a face turn, why are they painting him still like a womanizer and height and being height and mighty about that being there? Like is he a face or is he a heel? Is he going to be a tweeter? And even with the tweeter, you would you would start talking more positively because he's like smack down in the middle. But you can talk about maybe you could talk about his womanizing, but then you're talking about talking up some some other positive aspects about bomb.

34:36 And they didn't do that. So yeah, it's just all over the place. I'm not sure what's going on. So yeah, it's just, it's just weird to me.
