The two former MMA fighters had a mixed martial arts style brawl as Liv Morgan observed the bout from the skybox.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet hit Sonya with Piper's Pit and made her tap out with an ankle lock, winning the match and becoming the number one contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Liv Morgan beat Rousey at Money in the Bank to win the title, and she defeated the latter at SummerSlam to retain it. It'll be interesting to see whether she can do the same at WWE Extreme Rules next month.
