The May 05 episode of Monday Night Raw served as the go-home show for Backlash!
During a backstage shot where World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso was making the walk to defend his title, Finn Balor can be seen in the background talking to Roxanne Perez. Jey defended the title against Seth Rollins in the main event.
On the other hand, Roxanne Perez suffered defeat at the hands of WWE Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky in a singles match. Giulia and Perez viciously attacked Sky after the match, battering the Champion.
Perez and Giulia are now set to battle the team of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky on next week’s show, while Finn Balor will also take care of the AJ Styles problem for his Judgment Day stablemate and Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, as he will battle Styles in Louisville.
However, the thing that created the most buzz coming out of the May 05 episode of Monday Night Raw, which served as the go-home show for Backlash 2025, was the spotted backstage interaction between Perez and Balor.
Liv Morgan is absent from WWE programming to focus on a new project
While the interaction between the two left many fans wondering what the two were talking about, speculations soon ran wild amid Liv Morgan’s absence. Morgan announced last week that she’s landed a role in a major Hollywood film. With such a big opportunity ahead, Liv revealed she would be stepping away from WWE for a while to focus on her new project.
On the other hand, the rift and constant tension in the Judment Day is not a secret from any and with Liv holding the Women’s Tag Team titles along with Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio pinning Balor (his own stablemate) to win the Intercontinental Champion, might have left Balor feeling betrayed, sidelined, or even questioning his place within the faction.
Along with this, it was Morgan who has been constantly vouching for Mysterio and standing in the way whenever Balor tries to say or do something. Despite Balor’s objection, Mysterio still tries to recruit Penta into the Judgment Day faction, something which failed miserably.
Now with Morgan out of action and Mysterio bossing around Balor, Finn might feel sidelined and try to recruit Perez seemingly to replace Morgan, which might be an issue for him as the rest of his stablemates might oppose. The Judgment Day has a long history of betrayals, and Balor replacing Morgan or Balor being removed from the faction seems like a far-fetched idea unless you see the faction’s history.
