Meanwhile, poor Liv Morgan isn't receiving standing ovations.

WWE's handling of her since snatching that MITB win and SmackDown Women's Title on the same night back in early-July is the reason for that. Since then, Liv has been booked as lucky (vs. Ronda Rousey) and plucky (against everyone else), but none of it is working out well.

Morgan's title reign has been so poor that it was somewhat of a minor shock to see her retain against Shayna Baszler at Clash. This, let's be honest, doesn't mean she'll survive much longer as champ. However, it was a show of faith from Triple H when the easiest thing to do might've been pulling the plug.

WWE should pivot and turn Morgan into a fiery heel though. She'd be great as a jilted brat who thumbs her nose at the audience for daring to boo her greatest successes. That has potential, but remaining lucky/plucky really doesn't.
