"Don't come for my title" - Liv Morgan pleads with WWE Hall of Famer
Liv Morgan has pleaded with WWE Hall of Famer Lita not to come after the title she recently won at Money in the Bank.
Morgan captured the SmackDown Women's Championship after cashing in the coveted briefcase on Ronda Rousey. Moments before Morgan came to the ring, The Baddest Woman on the Planet defeated Natalya in a grueling match to retain the gold.
The SmackDown Women's Champion subsequently appeared on The Bump and was surprised when Lita made an appearance. Kayla Braxton then asked whether or not there would be a match between the two stars. The veteran wasn't given a chance to respond, but it was clear from her reaction that she was open to the match. Morgan responded by asking Lita not to challenge for her title.
"Don't come for my title Lita, oh my gosh, do not come for my title," said Morgan. [56:27-56:29]
There's nothing like having your childhood hero in your corner.

Liv Morgan revealed who was responsible for inspiring her to become a WWE Superstar
Liv Morgan also explained that she was a huge fan of Lita and that the former Women's Champion was the entire reason that she wanted to become a WWE Superstar.
The champion was able to deliver an emotional message to Lita on The Bump as she opened up to the woman who inspired her.
"You are like singlehandedly the whole entire reason why I wanted to be a WWE Superstar so just thank you for that, thank you for being that person," Morgan continued. "Like you said, I felt like you were my friend and you were only reason why I thought I could do that so thank you so much." [54:34-54:50]
