SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan is set to defend her championship against Shayna Baszler at the upcoming WWE Clash at the Castle event.

Shayna won a Gauntlet match to earn the right to face Morgan at the show, defeating Raquel Rodriguez in the final match of the Gauntlet.

Ronda Rousey returned on last week’s show to pay off her fine she had been given by the company following her assaulting a referee at SummerSlam, before Ronda confronted Shayna on the stage, reminding her that she ‘used to be a killer’.

Shayna took those words to heart after the champ’s match with Shotzi on last night’s SmackDown show, assaulting her and leaving her laying.

Shayna then teased breaking Morgan’s already injured arm, before telling her she would wait until Cardiff, instead teasing breaking her arm before kicking her in the face.

However, the kick from Baszler itself left a mark on the champion, as Liv shared a photo of a bruise on her face following the attack on Twitter earlier today.
