Before becoming WWE Women’s World Champion by defeating Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring this year, Liv Morgan’s journey to the title was filled with trials and tribulations. Not only was she close to winning the Battle Royal for the vacant Women’s World Championship this past April, but she was also the runner-up in both the 2023 and 2024 Royal Rumble events. Morgan has now commented on her two-time runner-up status in an interview with “WWE Deutschland,” explaining that if she weren’t the current Women’s World Champion, she’d have easily won the 2025 Royal Rumble.
“If I for some reason am not holding the championship anymore, you know I was the runner-up two years in a row, if I wasn’t champion this year, I’d probably win this year,” Morgan said. “So that’s just another opportunity for someone else because if I was not holding this Women’s World Championship, I would have won the Royal Rumble. So I’m just your gracious, classy queen giving someone else an opportunity to win the Royal Rumble.”
Morgan’s next title defense will be against IYO SKY at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14 in Uniondale, NY’s historic Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. SKY earned this opportunity by winning the Women’s World Championship #1 Contendership Battle Royal last month, outlasting the likes of Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Lyra Valkyria.
