Liv Morgan made a shocking return at WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2025, and her appearance turned Dominik Mysterio’s night upside down—then right back in his favor.
At first, it looked like Morgan was turning on Dominik. She stormed in, slapped him, and set up what looked like a revenge moment. But then she delivered a low blow to John Cena—an unmistakable echo of Cena’s infamous almost-heel turn during the Elimination Chamber storyline years ago.
The interference helped Dominik score the win over Cena, avenging his recent loss of the Intercontinental Championship on Raw in Boston. That match, held during Cena’s final Raw appearance in his hometown, saw Grand Slam Cena end Dominik’s seven-month reign and set the stage for Cena’s penultimate bout before retiring on December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C.
Cena vs. Dominik — Liv Morgan’s Return Blows the Roof Off
Dominik received a strong hometown welcome—especially with the San Diego, Calif., introduction—but Cena’s star power drew thunderous cheers as well. Even a playful exchange with a Dodgers fan couldn’t distract from the tension as both men squared up. The dueling chants made it clear: this crowd was fired up.
Judgment Day involvement came early. Raquel Rodriguez inserted herself almost immediately, with Roxanne Perez lurking at ringside. When Dominik dumped Cena out of the ring, fans greeted him with a loud, vulgar chant in Spanish. He responded with a hurricanrana off the barricade—landing badly on his shoulder—but kept pushing forward.
Officials checked on Cena, and that opened the door for Perez and Rodriguez to launch a two-on-one attack. Pop Rox connected, Dominik snapped out of the pain, hit a 619 and a frog splash—but the referee refused to count and instead threw Judgment Day out of the arena.
Cena roared back with the greatest hits: shoulder tackles, “You Can’t See Me” taunts, and a Five Knuckle Shuffle. Dominic countered the AA, rolled him up, but Cena switched it into an STF. Desperate, Dominik removed his boot and smashed Cena in the face with it. A splash followed—near fall. Boot back on. Another counter. Another AA. Another near fall. The crowd erupted with “this is awesome!”
A flying shoulder tackle accidentally wiped out the referee, and Cena locked in a second STF. That’s when Finn Balor and JD McDonagh rushed down, picking up the chaos where the earlier interference left off. Cena fought them off in full superhero mode, stacking both men for a double AA reminiscent of WrestleMania 25.
Dominik stalked Cena with the Intercontinental belt. He swung—missed—and ate another AA. Just when Cena seemed seconds away from victory, Liv Morgan’s music hit.
Morgan slapped Dominik. Then she leaped into Cena’s arms, smiling sweetly—right before cracking him across the face and driving her boot into his groin. Cena collapsed, and Dominik capitalized: 619. Splash. Three-count.
What’s Next for Cena and Dominik in 2025?
Cena now heads toward his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Gunther remains the top favorite to be his last opponent, and debate is already brewing over whether Cena should go out with a win or pass the torch cleanly. Either outcome will be the talk of the wrestling world.
Meanwhile, Dominik and Liv appear reunited—but the betrayal never fully happened, which leaves plenty of room for drama. Roxanne Perez will not take Liv’s re-alignment lightly. With emotions, jealousy, and unfinished business swirling, a messy love-triangle storyline feels inevitable.
Survivor Series didn’t just deliver a big return. It blew open the next chapter for all three.
