WWE Plans Major Push for Morgan and Rodriguez Ahead of WrestleMania 41
STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE is reportedly considering a significant push for the tag team of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez as WrestleMania 41 approaches, according to internal discussions. The duo, who have previously held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, are set to team up again on tonight’s episode of Raw against reigning champions Bianca Belair and Naomi.
Morgan and Rodriguez first teamed up in 2023, capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at Money in the Bank. However, their reign lasted just 16 days, ending in a loss to Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville. Since Rodriguez’s return to WWE television at Bad Blood in October, the pair have sporadically teamed up, most recently defeating Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY and Kairi Sane on the December 2 edition of Raw.
Sources indicate that WWE officials are keen on revitalizing the tag team division, with Morgan and Rodriguez seen as a key part of those plans. Their upcoming match against Belair and Naomi could serve as a springboard for a renewed push heading into WrestleMania 41.
Morgan, who recently lost the Women’s World Title to Rhea Ripley on the January 6 Raw Netflix debut episode, was originally slated to face Ripley at WrestleMania 41. However, the match was moved up to coincide with the high-profile Netflix debut, signaling WWE’s focus on elevating marquee moments.
Rodriguez, a powerhouse in the women’s division, has been a consistent presence since her return, and her chemistry with Morgan has been praised by fans and insiders alike. Their previous championship run, though brief, showcased their potential as a dominant tag team.
As WrestleMania 41 approaches, all eyes will be on whether Morgan and Rodriguez can reclaim their spot at the top of the women’s tag team division. Their performance tonight could set the stage for a high-stakes storyline leading into WWE’s biggest event of the year.
