UPS…

Danhausen added another member of the Judgment Day to his cursed body count at Night of Champions, hexing Liv Morgan moments before she fought in the Queen of the Ring finals.

Morgan, who has been dismissive of Danhausen and incredibly self-absorbed, fell to Iyo Sky in the tournament finals in what could be described as a good, but disappointing match. A battle between these two could have and should have been a bit better. Perhaps Iyo has been throttling down her “best wrestler on the roster” routine a bit since becoming Rhea Ripley’s sidekick, but this didn’t have the pop you might expect.

Still, Liv and Iyo played the hits and worked a competent match that saw Sky dodge Oblivion but miss a diving stomp, only to put Morgan down with a Spanish Fly and moonsault to win Queen of the Ring.

Iyo wasted little time in confirming that she will run it back with the woman she had just beaten, telling Liv that she’ll see her at SummerSlam for her Women’s World Championship.

Decent enough stuff here with the right outcome, but this was another in a long stretch of WWE matches where the sum was less than its parts.
