Two days after defeating Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring to become women’s world champion, Liv Morgan was forced to give Lynch a rematch on Raw. In a steel cage match, Morgan emerged victorious again, thanks to a failed interference attempt by Dominik Mysterio.
Mysterio tried to help Lynch escape and regain the title, but his effort backfired when he accidentally slammed the cage door on Lynch’s head due to a rampaging Braun Strowman. This allowed Morgan to escape the cage and retain her title. After the match, Morgan added drama by kissing Mysterio before the show went off the air.
The steel cage match was intense, with JD McDonagh and Finn Balor also getting involved, questioning Mysterio’s actions. Braun Strowman’s interference played a crucial role, leading to a chaotic end and Morgan’s victory.
Rumors of Lynch’s WWE contract expiring soon added a layer of intrigue, though the outcome seemed predictable. The interaction between Morgan and Mysterio hints at a developing storyline, despite some feeling that Judgment Day drama has been less captivating lately. Overall, the match and its aftermath received a mixed response from fans. Grade: C+
