WWE’s Liv Morgan Champion Problem (& How To Fix It)
The way WWE has booked Smackdown Women's Champion Liv Morgan is a problem that can be solved. At SummerSlam, Morgan defeated Ronda Rousey in a controversial finish; Liv tapped to Rousey's armbar but the referee didn't see it and he counted Ronda's shoulders on the mat for the pin. Morgan retained the Smackdown Women's Championship, causing Rousey to attack her and the referee to turn heel post-match. Still, Liv's fluke victory may have done her title reign more harm than good.
The incredibly popular Liv Morgan won the Money in the Bank ladder match at the start of July and cashed in on Ronda Rousey to win the Smackdown Women's Title the very same night. It was a long-awaited accomplishment for Morgan, who has been built up as an underdog babyface for two years, yet crushing losses to then-RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch meant a championship eluded Liv. Since winning the title, Morgan has been in a perpetual state of celebration and she's thoroughly enjoying finally standing at the top of the mountain in the WWE Women's division. Liv also relished the fact that beating Ronda at Money in the Bank meant she became only the third woman to pin Rousey in WWE after Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Morgan's SummerSlam victory now makes her the only woman in WWE to pin Ronda Rousey twice. Yet the cloud over these accomplishments is that both wins are flukes.
