10 Pushes That WWE Ruined In 2022

File Liv Morgan's first major singles title win under, 'Waste. Of. Time'.

Annoyingly, that isn't really Liv's fault. She was organically over with fans as a sympathetic babyface when she won MITB in early-July and cashed it in on Ronda Rousey to become SmackDown Women's Champ the same night. That's when poor creative squashed her chances.

Follow-up with Rousey at SummerSlam featured one of the most puzzling finishes in recent memory; Morgan tapped out, but also lucked out because Ronda's shoulders were on the mat and the ref counted to three. Having Liv boast about this on TV afterwards was a glaring error too, because it quickly turned fans against her.

It was too late to turn back after that mistake. Overnight, Morgan's appearances played before loud boos, and she was visibly rattled by all of it. WWE restored Rousey as champ at Extreme Rules, and the Liv experiment was very-much scrapped.

Way to ruin everything, guys.
