"That was scary for a second" – Liv Morgan reflects on cashing in Money in the Bank contract on Ronda Rousey
Liv Morgan won her first title in WWE after cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Ronda Rousey. The new SmackDown Women's Champion opened up about the biggest victory of her career.
Morgan outperformed top female stars from RAW and SmackDown to win the MITB briefcase at WWE's latest premium live event. She wasted no time going after Rousey, who was worn down after her match against Natalya.
Speaking on the After the Bell podcast, Morgan said she didn't plan her cash-in; it was an off-the-cuff decision:
"I kind of had no plans on cashing in. I was like, I'm going to go celebrate, I'm going to hit the strip, I am Ms. Money in the Bank. But I told myself, when the time is right, I'm gonna cash this in. So, I'm watching Nattie [Natalya]-Ronda [Rousey] and I get like this overwhelming feeling in my body like, the time is right. So I ran out there and I cashed in and that was scary for a second." (from 1:41 to 2:09)
