Ronda Rousey vs. Liv Morgan for the SmackDown Women’s Title. Rousey had already been defeated twice by Liv Morgan. She defeated Rousey when she cashed in to win the championship at MITB and again when she successfully defended her belt in a contentious match at Summer Slam.
Liv Morgan’s reign as champion appears to be in peril now that Rousey is receiving another championship match and even hinting at a plan of retaliation with Shayna Baszler. The next points will outline the main arguments in favour of Liv Morgan defeating Ronda Rousey and defending her championship at WWE Extreme Rules 2022.
For Liv Morgan to Establish her Rule, she must Defeat Rousey Handily
With improbable triumphs that make her reign seem like a fairy tale, Liv Morgan cannot maintain it. She needs more uncontested victories to bolster her reign so that she may be considered seriously as the champion. She previously cleanly defeated Shayna Baszler, and she needs to do the same with Rousey. In an Extreme Rules match, she can win with weapons.
Morgan’s title reign would be a complete failure if she lost against Rousey.
The Championship is Not Necessary for Ronda Rousey to Maintain her Status
Ronda Rousey already has a strong following and is a popular figure in the WWE; she is still relevant without a title. Even without the world title, she can fight Becky Lynch, and it will be entertaining. She can compete in the tag team championships alongside Baszler, and it will be a tie.
She has a lot of options for how she wants to be portrayed on SmackDown, but none of them will work if she doesn’t have any gold. However, it would also be entirely unhelpful for the division’s future if Morgan lost the championship to the person she had initially deposed.
Charlotte and Liv Morgan Need to Fight in Order for Everything to Come Full Circle
WWE SmackDown’s program on July 16, 2019, featured a singles bout between Liv Morgan and Charlotte Flair. Despite the fact that she was defeated, she declared that Charlotte was correct. And I’m going to BE REAL when I return.” Charlotte essentially called Morgan out for being mid at the time. Since Morgan has been developing into a main event contender while Charlotte has been away, Morgan needs to hold onto the title until Charlotte returns from her break so that, in the great scheme of long-term booking, this conflict can finally come full circle.
