Shayna Baszler is next to challenge Liv Morgan for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
During her appearance on WWE’s The Bump, the number one contender gave her opinion on Morgan’s controversial win at SummerSlam. In the closing moments of the match, Morgan was able to get a pinfall off of Ronda Rousey while tapping out in the process.
“The slow-mo was played. She tapped before the third count dropped. You can, ‘Oh, the ref’s decision is final,’ sure. But the fact of the matter remains, she knows she tapped. We all can see in slow-motion that she tapped. The fact that she has a fandom that’s claiming that I’m the one’s wrong about that? That’s your hero? That’s how you want your hero to be, to skate by on a technicality and not be legit? Nah, not for me and not my nieces. They’re gonna look at someone like me, who leaves no question. You will tap, or you will take a nap, or your bones will snap. There’s no question. That’s a champion. Her fans clearly, she has the group of the WWE Universe that know nothing about wrestling. So that’s the only excuse I see.”
Baszler will get her shot at the championship next month at the Clash at the Castle pay-per-view. There have been rumors of Rousey potentially making an appearance at the show.
