Most Likely Opponent For Liv Morgan At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Revealed
Liv Morgan has not wrestled since the April 20 episode of WWE Raw.
On the Raw episode after WrestleMania 42, Morgan’s in-ring segment was interrupted by NXT’s Sol Ruca, which set up an impromptu match between them.
Ruca came close to causing an upset when she successfully hit her Sol Snatcher finisher, only to see Morgan roll out of the ring. Ruca was then attacked by Zaria, followed by Liv hitting her with Oblivion for the victory.
Recently, Liv Morgan has been featured in backstage segments, plotting and scheming to put The Judgment Day back on the map.
She will be in action next week on the red brand, competing in a 4-way match of the Queen of the Ring tournament against Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green.
Morgan, who is the current Women’s World Champion, has made her intention clear about winning the tournament and challenging the Women’s WWE Champion at SummerSlam in August.
On Raw, her Judgment Day stablemate, Roxanne Perez, failed to advance in the tournament. Meanwhile, Raquel Rodriguez has yet to compete, as she will take on Bayley, Jacy Jayne, and Kiana James at a later date.
Liv Morgan’s Potential WWE SummerSlam Challenger Revealed
Following WrestleMania 42, Liv Morgan was supposed to continue her feud with Stephanie Vaquer. However, Vaquer sustained a legitimate second-degree AC joint sprain, forcing her to be written off.
Meanwhile, a report by Self Made Sessions revealed a surprising opponent for Morgan in the lead-up to SummerSlam, which WWE has originally mapped out.
In the report, Self Made Pro claimed that IYO SKY was supposed to face Liv Morgan at SummerSlam, although he was not sure whether the plan still existed.
I should caution people though in saying that this is the same company that right before Mania, they hammered out all their creative to Mania up until SummerSlam and then two weeks later they just changed a bunch of it.
They changed a bunch of it. What I will say is before the changes, the expectation was IYO SKY and Liv at SummerSlam, and so I don’t know if that stays, but that was an expectation. [H/T: Ringside News]
IYO SKY Wins Opening Round Of Queen Of The Ring Tournament
On June 1, IYO SKY competed in a Round 1 match of the Queen of the Ring tournament against Roxanne Perez, Giulia, and Lash Legend.
Perez was one of the most active superstars in the match as she was involved in multiple spots that defined the intensity and pace of the bout.
In the closing minutes, she was taken out by Legend, who hit the Lash Extension finisher, which she proceeded to execute on Giulia, too.
However, IYO SKY was at the right place and at the right time, allowing her to take Legend out of the equation with a stomp, before heading to the top and hitting her Over The Moonsault finisher on Giulia for the victory.
SKY will face the winner of the 4-way match between Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Charlotte Flair, and Jade Cargill in the semi-finals.
