3 signs of a future Liv Morgan singles run dropped on WWE RAW
(Image Via WWE) Liv Morgan might return to becoming a singles competitor after huge hints showed on Monday Night RAW. Liv Morgan carried the WWE women's division on her back throughout 2024 and into 2025 as the WWE Women's World Champion. However, it has been a few months since she became a part of the tag team division with Raquel Rodriguez. The duo has won the titles twice this year. Not only that, Morgan has also been a part of the stable, Judgment Day, alongside her onscreen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. She made her return to Monday Night RAW on the May 26th edition after being away due to the filming of her new Hollywood film, 'Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.' On her first night back, there were hints that she is set to split from her boyfriend, her tag team, and stable moving forward. Here are the three signs that indicate that Liv Morgan will soon return to being a singles performer: 3. Altercation with Raquel Rodriguez Liv Morgan had her return match on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW. She faced Kairi Sane in an exciting showdown and was at the top of her game, even after missing in-ring action for almost a month. Morgan was in control until Raquel Rodriguez got into an argument with Roxanne Perez, who came out, looking like she was trying to help Morgan. 2. Eyeing IYO Sky's title The events that led to Liv Morgan's match against Kairi Sane were due to a backstage segment. She and Raquel Rodriguez crossed paths with Kairi Sane and her former Damage CTRL cohort, IYO Sky, who is the reigning WWE Women's World Champion. Morgan mocked the duo and even eyed her title. This could be a huge hint that Morgan might be looking to regain the title and embark on a singles run to get away from the Judgment Day fiasco and solely focus on getting back on top. 1. Roxanne Perez growing closer to Dominik Mysterio Roxanne Perez made her debut as an official Monday Night RAW superstar last week and was introduced to the Judgment Day. She showed interest, especially in Dominik Mysterio with chicken tenders last week and even this week. This has led to a huge speculation that Morgan and Mysterio will be splitting soon. With Perez growing fondness by the Judgment Day members and Dom also showing a little interest, Liv Morgan's relationship with him and the faction can come to an end and mark her returns a singles competitor.

Kairi Sane returns to WWE Raw, IYO SKY sends a sweet message
IYO SKY and Kairi Sane (Image via WWE) Kairi Sane is back in WWE after a long break due to injury. She returned on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw and took part in a Triple Threat match to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. It was her first match since December 2023, and even though she didn't win, fans were excited to see her back. In the match, Kairi faced Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark. Unfortunately, Stark got injured during the match after a bad landing from a dropkick. Because of that, she had to leave, and the match had to change in the moment. Kairi had to quickly adjust and finish the match with Ripley. In the end, Rhea Ripley pinned Kairi to win. IYO SKY shares sweet message after Kairi Sane's return After the show, former tag team partner IYO SKY posted a warm message on social media to welcome Kairi Sane back. The two used to be part of the group Damage CTRL and have a long history together, going back to their wrestling days in Japan. IYO SKY wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Welcome back!!! @KAIRI_official 🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨' This simple but touching message made fans smile. Many people still remember how strong their team was and how much respect they had for each other. Even though Damage CTRL has not been seen on WWE TV lately and Dakota Kai has been released, the friendship between IYO and Kairi is clearly still strong. Their bond was built during their early wrestling careers in STARDOM, a Japanese women's wrestling company. Later, they became a team in WWE and were seen as one of the most exciting duos in the women's division. Now, fans are wondering what's next. Could WWE reunite IYO and Kairi as a team? Or could they be set for a future match against each other? Either way, the support from IYO made it clear that Kairi is still respected by top talent in WWE. Kairi Sane's future looks bright While this return match did not end in victory, Kairi looked strong and focused in the ring. She showed she was ready to compete again. Her ability to adjust during an unexpected situation showed how skilled and professional she is. It was a strong reminder of what Kairi Sane brings to WWE. She is experienced, skilled, and has a powerful presence in the ring. Her return also adds more depth to WWE's women's division, which continues to grow stronger. Rhea Ripley qualifies for Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Raw highlights, May 19, 2025 With fans cheering her return and wrestlers like IYO SKY standing by her, Kairi's comeback could lead to big things. Now, all eyes will be on what the Pirate Princess does next in WWE.

Absent WWE Superstar Set For In-Ring Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Raw will see the return of Kairi Sane to the ring. She has been out of action for five long months, recovering from a significant injury. Sane was forced to take time off in December 2024. This was because she suffered a torn ligament in her thumb, which needed an operation. She had surgery to fix the injury and has been working hard to get back to wrestling form. WWE has announced that "The Pirate Princess" will be back on Raw for the May 19, 2025, episode. The company even shared a social media video that showed Sane arriving in Greenville, South Carolina. WWE has since confirmed Sane will face Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark in a triple-threat Money in the Bank qualifying match. Her return comes at a very important time for her group, Damage CTRL. The faction's future has recently seemed unclear, especially with Kairi and Asuka being injured.

In last week's big main event match, she successfully teamed up with Rhea Ripley to win over Roxanne Perez & Giulia. The May 19th WWE Raw show will be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville. The show will also continue with more qualifying matches for the upcoming Money in the Bank ladder matches.

New Report Suggests Popular WWE Faction is 'Done'
It's crucial to remember the WWE calendar revolves around WrestleMania. The company has often shown that they use the time immediately after the "Grandest Stage of Them All" as a soft reset to plant intriguing storylines for the subsequent year. For as much as the product has improved with Triple H at the helm, he still falls into plenty of the tropes that plagued Vince McMahon for decades. One continuous issue is the soft drop of once-prevalent angles. A former premier faction could suffer this practice, as a new report suggests they have quietly disbanded. WWEGetty Images According to Bryan Alverez of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Damage CTRL is likely over as a stable. "I don't know if this is 'official'—but I was told unofficially that Damage CTRL's done," Alvarez said. "The group is done. And that probably means that maybe Asuka and Kairi might come back as a tag team, and Iyo's obviously a big singles star, and maybe they just figured that Dakota, she's not going to be at the level of an Iyo, doesn't have a partner, and we don't do a six-woman division, so she got cut." Dakota Kai was one of the most surprising names in the recent slew of releases, but her constant injuries likely made it tough for her to receive another sustained push. She was the glue keeping the idea of the group together, so her absence abruptly ended the union. Advertisement Perhaps when Kairi Sane and Asuka return, they could align with Iyo Sky, but it seems like the latter is doing just fine as a face of the women's division.
