Royal Rumble winner makes her choice after emotional confrontation
Summary
– Liv Morgan officially selects her WrestleMania 42 challenger
– Stephanie Vaquer’s words from last week played a key role
– Morgan attacks Vaquer to seal the match on RAW
Liv Morgan stepped into WWE RAW on February 23 at the State Farm Arena with the spotlight firmly on her. After winning the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, she earned the right to choose her opponent at WrestleMania 42. The decision had been teased for days, and the Atlanta crowd was ready for answers.
Morgan entered during the first hour alongside Dominik Mysterio. With both Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill invited to the ring, the stage was set for the announcement. Tension built as the Royal Rumble winner addressed both potential challengers face-to-face.
Morgan admitted that Vaquer’s words the previous week struck a nerve. She confessed that she rarely shows vulnerability and acknowledged that she may not fully understand Vaquer’s journey. The tone shifted as Morgan said she needed to focus on her own story heading into WrestleMania.
That reflection did not last long. Without warning, Morgan turned and blasted Vaquer with the microphone, dropping her in the center of the ring. The message was unmistakable. WrestleMania 42 will feature Liv Morgan defending her claim to the spotlight against Stephanie Vaquer on the grand stage.
