Watch: WWE Superstar no-sells Liv Morgan's finisher and immediately leaves the ring
Natalya seemed genuinely upset with Liv Morgan during the latest WWE live event in Sacramento, California.
Morgan won the SmackDown Women's Championship at Money In The Bank after cashing in her MITB contract on Ronda Rousey. The latter defeated Natalya mere seconds before Morgan cashed in her briefcase on the former UFC fighter.

How did fans on Twitter react to Natalya's no-selling of Liv Morgan's finisher?
Natalya is a seasoned veteran who has been with WWE for about 15 years. She's considered by many to be one of the most respected wrestlers and has rarely had issues with her co-workers. Fellow wrestlers have had nothing but praise for Natalya in past interviews. For these reasons, many fans sided with Natalya in the reply section of the video:
@WrestlingNewsCo I won't speculate what happened here but I'll just say that by all accounts Nattie has consistently been one of the nicest people both inside and outside of the ring throughout her career.
@WrestlingNewsCo Natty's usually better abt this stuff so Liv must've done something pretty drastic for Natty to have to point it out there
@WrestlingNewsCo from what I've gathered it might be that, Natty looks like shes trying to fix her eye and Liv hit the move as she was trying to fix her eye maybe and Natty was upset? Its something you'd have to go straight to the source abt https://t.co/e6qxcnWiu5
Last year, Natalya chatted with TalkSPORT and heaped massive praise on Liv Morgan:
“I’m impressed with how she brings them to the ring but not a lot of people know that. I told Liv ‘don’t forget, you’re actually a leader.’ She helps people and you don’t event realize she’s doing it. If we need to make somebody look really strong for example, Liv takes herself out of the match and says Ok, I don’t want to look weak but I need to make sure I tell the story of David Vs Goliath and she really puts herself in a leadership role."
“Liv’s got some leadership skills that if I was a casual fan watching, because she looks very young and immature on TV because that’s kind of her character where she’s this girl who is trying to figure out who she is, but she is solid." (H/T: TalkSPORT)
It's too early to speculate about what exactly happened between Natalya and Liv Morgan during the match. Natalya recently showcased her skills as a heel with her recent Twitter beef with Ronda Rousey. One wonders if the incident with Morgan was simply an attempt to generate buzz among the WWE Universe.
