He debuted on the main roster as the NXT Champion on the Raw after WrestleMania XL and defeated Shinsuke Nakamura. With his loss against the 29-year-old star, he might have wrestled his last match on the black and gold brand. Looking at the grand scheme of things, The Mad Dragon will keep an eye on the upcoming episode of SmackDown for the Draft.

Unfortunately, as of now, there have been no updates regarding her status. Having said that, fans hope she will make her return in a managerial role soon. 

CJ Perry shared an interesting reaction to the recent staredown between Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan

Rhea Ripley relinquished her title due to an injury inflicted by Liv Morgan‘s attack. Therefore, a 15-woman battle royal took place on the latest episode of Raw to determine the new Women’s World Champion. Before the match, Dominik Mysterio and Morgan had a brief staredown backstage. This got CJ Perry’s attention, as she shared an interesting reaction on social media.

The 39-year-old star took to Instagram and shared a story, showing interest in “Dirty” Dom and her staredown. With Mami out of the action due to an injury, a storyline between the two might be brewing.

As for the battle royal, Morgan lost the opportunity to become the new Women’s World Champion as Becky Lynch eliminated her to pick up the win. As a result, Daddio got the tag of ‘forever runner-up’ from Ripley herself due to the former’s accumulation of second places in such matches. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see whether she continues her revenge tour following the devastating loss to Raw.
