Liv Morgan opens up on 'retiring Becky Lynch' & 'injuring Rhea Ripley'
WWE Superstar Liv Morgan recently received a major accolade for her performances in 2024. During the speech, The Judgment Day star talked about her opponents, including Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley.
After missing almost half of 2023 due to an injury, Liv Morgan made her electrifying return at the Royal Rumble 2024. Following this, she went on her revenge tour and took everything away from Rhea Ripley, including Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day. Morgan eventually won the Women's World Championship against Becky Lynch, and since then, she has claimed that she retired The Man.
During the 2024 Busted Open Holiday Party, Liv Morgan was crowned as the female wrestler of the year. Following this announcement, The Judgment Day star gave a speech in which she thanked the Busted Open team for acknowledging her run in 2024.
Morgan also once again claimed that she retired Becky Lynch and listed several big names she had defeated this year.
"Thank you so, so, so, so much for acknowledging and honoring me as the best female wrestler of 2024. It is the smartest decision y'all have ever made by far because let's just run down my year if we can. Not only did I retire Becky Lynch, but I've defeated Bianca Belair. I've defeated Tiffany Stratton. I've eliminated Jade Cargill from the Royal Rumble. I've defeated Nia Jax. I am the first and only Women's Crown Jewel Champion," she said.
The Women's World Champion also highlighted that she won against Rhea Ripley three times, before mentioning that she has been champion for over 200 days now.
"I've injured Rhea Ripley, three times I've defeated her. I stole The Judgement from her. I won over Daddy Dom from her. I am 200 days plus as the greatest Women's World Champion of all time. And I'm just getting started. And if you don't like it, if you guys don't like that are watching, you can cry about it because I don't care," she added. [From 21:47 - 22:50]
