Liv Morgan finally explains NXT onslaught, confirms Rhea Ripley's Crown Jewel status
In reality, Women's World Champion Liv Morgan appears to have been saved by the bell. However, she is going to gloat about it regardless.
Rhea Ripley has been a thorn in her side despite two successful title defenses. Mami simply never quit until an injury forced her to. On the October 29 episode of NXT, Ripley was left bloodied, seemingly by Morgan and the champion's new bodyguard, Raquel Rodriguez. The two were seen walking away from the crime scene with a baseball bat. This injury angle was reportedly a last-minute addition as the former Judgment Day star needed time off owing to a legitimate injury.
Touching on the matter during the Crown Jewel Kickoff, Liv Morgan provoked the crowd in attendance when they were chanting for Mami. She boasted about getting Rhea Ripley injured yet again:
"Oh, Rhea? Let me tell you something about Rhea," Morgan responded to the chants. "I made sure that Rhea is going to be gone for a very very very long time!" [From 49:28 to 49:42]
This prompted Michael Cole to ask the Women's World Champion about what transpired in the parking lot during the NXT show on Tuesday:
"[Did you show up at NXT in Orlando, Florida, to do that to Rhea Ripley?] I showed up at Orlando, Florida, to take out Rhea Ripley so I can make sure that she does not show up here at Crown Jewel tomorrow," Morgan revealed, before retorting to the crowd, "She's not going to be here," mocking them with an emphasized no. [50:14 to 50:34]
Will Liv Morgan become the inaugural Women's Crown Jewel Champion?
Triple H announced that it will be an annual tradition from hereon at Crown Jewel. The titular belt will be up for grabs every year for the two world champions of the company's flagship shows, for both men and women. He even noted during the Kickoff that the Crown Jewel Championship is exclusive to Saudi Arabia.
With Women's World Champion Liv Morgan wrestling Women's Champion Nia Jax tomorrow night, three scenarios can determine the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion. Either Morgan or Jax wins, or, Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton cashes in during the match and takes it all.
