Morgan defeats IYO SKY in a hard-fought match, but Rhea Ripley sends a clear message
Summary
– Liv Morgan retained her Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY at Saturday Night’s Main Event
– Morgan secured the victory with a clean pinfall after countering SKY’s Over The Moonsault
– Rhea Ripley confronted Morgan post-match, signaling unfinished business between the two
Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, delivering an action-packed night with Liv Morgan defending her Women’s World Title.
Morgan faced IYO SKY, who earned her title shot by winning a battle royal. Their match followed Drew McIntyre’s win over Sami Zayn to open the show and energize the crowd. A commercial break came after SKY hit a high-risk dive to the floor, setting the stage for an intense back-and-forth bout.
After countering SKY’s Over The Moonsault and hitting Oblivion, Morgan retained her title with a clean pinfall. However, her celebration was short-lived as Rhea Ripley emerged, locking eyes with Morgan and her championship belt, reigniting their rivalry.
During the match, Michael Cole speculated that Morgan might have suffered a broken nose after taking a knee to the face from SKY. Despite this, Morgan continues her 200+ day reign as Women’s World Champion, a title she won by defeating Becky Lynch at King & Queen of the Ring 2024 in Saudi Arabia.
The confrontation with Ripley leaves fans wondering if Morgan’s reign could soon face its toughest test.
