At the Survivor Series event last Saturday, John Cena defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his professional wrestling career. He won the title recently on RAW by defeating Dominik Mysterio in order to become a WWE Grand Slam Champion. But he dropped the Championship in his first title defence against Dirty Dom.
But much like most of the victories of Dominik Mysterio, this was not a clean win either. When John Cena was in the match and was closing in on a victory, Liv Morgan made a sensational return and assisted Dirty Dom towards this iconic victory. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder injury, which kept him out of action for five long months.
Bubba Ray Dudley loved the interaction between John Cena and Liv Morgan from Survivor Series
Morgan fooled John Cena by pretending to betray Dom, and she even hugged Cena. But ultimately, he ended up hitting a low blow on Cena, assisting Dominik Mysterio in winning his second WWE Intercontinental Championship. Bubba Ray Dudley recently talked about this segment and explained why he loved it. Speaking on the Busted Open Radio Podcast recently, he explained the following;
Liv Morgan returned to action on Survivor Series
“I loved the iso shot. I loved Liv jumping into John’s arms. [And] I loved the camera close-up on Liv’s eyes and how they popped out of her head like the evil that she is. Little manipulative, you know what.” said Bubba Ray Dudley, regarding the segment between Cena, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan.
He continued, “I think the Liv look was far superior to the John look. The John look was more deadpan. The Liv look, to me, was so much more W. John’s look was less is more. Liv’s look was so over-the-top, and I love she looked possessed, and I loved it. Everything that went on in Dom and John worked.”
