The current plan for SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan at SummerSlam has now reportedly been revealed.
In the opening match of Money in the Bank, Liv Morgan won the seven-woman ladder match and walked away with the Money in the Bank contract.
Morgan cashed in later that night on Ronda Rousey, who had just defended her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Natalya. Morgan ultimately rolled Rousey up to win her first WWE gold.
After the bout, Rousey handed the title to Morgan and embraced the new champion.
Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the current plan is to have Morgan defend her gold against Rousey on July 30:
“Right now the plan is Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam, which kind of surprises me in a lot of ways, especially because they didn’t leave with any heat.
“Ronda just hugged (Morgan), walked out of the ring, and let her have her moment. They’ve been building for this with Liv Morgan for a while.
“It is interesting though as I think almost everybody figured it was going to be Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam and it’s not.”
