3 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 16)

4. Something Still Isn’t Clicking

Liv Morgan is coming across as a snotty heel.

Sorry, but it's true. The way she's crowing about "definitive wins" over Ronda Rousey doesn't work, especially not when one victory was a MITB cash-in and the other (at SummerSlam) only happened because the ref missed a clear tap out call. Eesh, the whole presentation is rough.

Despite being SmackDown Women's Champ, Liv is also still coming across as a lesser star than Ronda on-screen. Rousey's heel turn has calmed her promo nerves and turned her into an ice cold badass who looks more confident than ever. Meanwhile, Morgan is coming across as bratty and desperate.

The sooner WWE moves on from this feud, the better. Honestly, just put the belt back on Ronda and have her work some sort of MMA gimmick vs. Shayna Baszler. The Liv experiment has failed. Her speeches are painful, and WWE's booking of her has been sh*t.
