Liv Morgan suffering legitimate injury at the hands of 40-year-old WWE star is possible, says veteran
Women's World Champion Liv Morgan will square off against a top WWE Superstar at Crown Jewel. A wrestling veteran recently warned that Morgan could get legitimately hurt during the match.
The superstar in question is none other than Nia Jax. The WWE Women's Champion will go head-to-head against the Women's World Champion for the Crown Jewel Title at the upcoming premium live event in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman claimed it did not make sense to book Jax against Morgan due to their size difference. He pointed out that nobody would believe the Women's World Champion could beat her 40-year-old opponent in a straight match.
The Coach also expressed concern that Jax could legitimately injure Morgan during the square-off. The former Interim RAW General Manager dubbed the WWE Women's Champion "dangerous," claiming a lot of female superstars do not want to work with her:
"I'll be honest with you, Tommy, I'm afraid she might hurt Liv. Like, accidentally hurt her. She's dangerous. A lot of girls don't wanna work with her," he said. [12:53 - 13:02]
Liv Morgan addressed her upcoming clash with Nia Jax at WWE Crown Jewel
Liv Morgan and Nia Jax both defended their championships at Bad Blood last Saturday. While The Irresistible Force defeated Bayley to retain the WWE Women's Title, Morgan lost to Rhea Ripley via disqualification following interference from Raquel Rodriguez. Nevertheless, she retained her Women's World Championship.
In an interview with Jackie Redmond on Monday Night RAW last night, Morgan stated that she has moved on from The Eradicator and is now focused on her upcoming fight with Jax:
"We are moving on from Rhea Ripley and focusing on Nia Jax and Crown Jewel," she said.
Liv Morgan and Nia Jax clashed in two one-on-one matches after the latter's return to the Stamford-based company last year. While the first ended in Jax's victory via disqualification, Morgan won the second by pinfall. It will be interesting to see who will come out on top in Saudi Arabia.
