Liv Morgan on becoming the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion

It’s hard to argue that anyone in WWE had as big a night last night as Liv Morgan. The tenacious, passionate WWE star has finally reached the top of the mountain after signing with the company back in 2014, becoming Miss Money in the Bank and the SmackDown Women’s Champion all in the same night.

For someone who has dedicated almost a decade of her life to WWE while seeing friends like Ruby Soho (formerly Ruby Riott), Sarah Logan and others move on to new phases, it’s understandable that Liv was extremely emotional after her win . She tearfully tells WWE.com that her night at Money in the Bank feels like the zenith of a life dedicated to WWE and professional wrestling.

“This is the feeling I’ve been looking for all my life. It’s all I’ve ever – oh my God – it’s all I’ve ever wanted. It’s everything I’ve wanted since I was little and I literally can’t believe I have it… It was amazing, it was everything. I did this for [the WWE fans]Liv explains. “I made this for you guys. You believe in me so much, I wanted to give you something to believe in. We did it, we are champions, we did it. oh god oh god Thank you.”

As noted, Liv Morgan was able to defeat Becky Lynch, Asuka, Lacey Evans, Shotzi, Raquel Rodriguez and Alexa Bliss to win the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase in the first ladder match of the night. Later in the show, she cashed in on a contract for a WWE “SmackDown” Women’s Title match against former champion Ronda Rousey after going through a grueling title defense against Natalya. Liv would take advantage of Rousey’s “tweaked” knee and cover her with a rollup pin for the win, giving her the first title win of her career.
