"It was such a reality dose" - Liv Morgan opens up about fans booing her on WWE SmackDown
WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan has talked about being booed by fans on the Blue Brand following SummerSlam 2022.
Morgan captured the SmackDown Women's Championship after cashing in her MITB contract and defeating Ronda Rousey at the Money in the Bank event. The former member of The Riott Squad later successfully defended her title against Rousey at SummerSlam.
However, the match ended in controversy as Morgan seemingly tapped out to Rousey's armbar before the referee counted the challenger's shoulders down.
Speaking to the Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, Morgan addressed getting booed on SmackDown following her controversial victory at SummerSlam. She revealed that she considered that moment a turning point in her title reign.
"I was cutting that promo in the ring. It was having the fans pissed at me. It was such a reality dose to me that I'll never forget but was so grateful and appreciative to have that experience in a weird way. Which I know it sounds weird because I was getting booed but it was just like what I needed. I feel like to kind of really like, 'this is real', like, 'you are the champion. You are representing the company. You are representing this title. Everything that you do matters,"said.Morgan [From 3:11 to 3:44]
