New York: The first WWE Raw following Survivor Series 2025 kicked off the road to WrestleMania 2026, with major developments in both the men’s and women’s divisions. With Royal Rumble two months away, WWE already announced that Bron Breakker will challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on January 5 Raw.
Liv Morgan Emerges as Leader of The Judgment Day
Making her first Monday appearance since June, Liv Morgan dominated the show’s closing segment. After helping Dominik Mysterio regain the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series, Morgan asserted herself as a leader within The Judgment Day, proclaiming their control over Raw.
In a chaotic finale, Morgan smacked “Dirty Dom” before leaping into his arms, triggering a massive brawl involving multiple women’s tag teams. The scene ended with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez holding the titles, while Morgan stood between them, signaling her influence over the division.
Morgan’s return positions The Judgment Day as top contenders for the women’s tag team titles against teams like The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). WWE may set up a No. 1 contender match involving top tag teams to determine the next challengers.
