The WWE title image has been shaken up at Money in the Bank, and now there’s an official brand makeover for one of the new champions. PWIInsider It’s confirmed that new WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan has officially moved from Monday Night Raw to SmackDown, so expect to only be at SmackDown for the foreseeable future. WWE loves to feature its champions on both shows if possible, and Morgan appeared on Raw this past week, but this was just a one-off, and it looks like Morgan is working full time on the blue brand from here.
This seemed like a no-brainer, but with it being official you can start to run some scenarios for the new hero on the blue brand. Recent reports suggest that Morgan is set to defend her title against Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam, but as we’ve seen in recent events, anything could change.
Morgan’s presence on SmackDown will also provide some new blue brand matches, as Morgan hasn’t interacted much with stars like Raquel Rodriguez, Aliyah, Shotzi and Xia Li. Rousey has defended her title at SmackDown multiple times and made several great matches, so the runway is clear for Morgan to do the same in the lead-up to a potential rematch against Rosey at SummerSlam.
Morgan won a Women’s Money in the Bank match against an impressive lineup of stars, then later joked that she was planning to stick with it for a while because she only got one chance to do it right. That made her winning moment even better though, as after a tough match against Natalya, Rousey faced Morgan, who cashed in her purse and took Rousey to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Rousey is also expected to deal with her loss and Morgan’s win during tomorrow night’s SmackDown, so we’ll have to see if she immediately requests a rematch or if we get a slightly slower build. Maybe it’s going in a completely different direction, but thankfully we don’t have to wait long to find out.
