Liv Morgan left WWE Clash of Castle with the SmackDown Women’s Championship around her waist.
At the premium live event on September 3, Morgan defended the title against Shayna Baszler. The challenger earned a title shot by winning a gauntlet match on the August 5 episode of WWE SmackDown. Since then, she has attacked Morgan on multiple occasions.
When they finally clashed on Saturday, Morgan took all of the punishment Baszler threw at her, and she endured a number of grueling submission holds. In the end, she pinned “The Queen of Spades” with the Oblivion.
