7 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SummerSlam 2022

Screw this story about Liv Morgan "looking timid" too. Again, that's the problem with MITB sometimes - Liv hasn't come across as someone who's in the same league as workers like Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch or Bianca Belair. Nah, it's way better to position her as 'happy to be here', right?

Right?!

The match between Morgan and Rousey was too short to really mean anything, and the wishy-washy finish wasn't satisfying at all. Replays made it crystal clear that Liv tapped out before the referee counted Ronda's shoulders to the mat. So, why should fans hate on Rousey? For having a justifiable complaint?

Some fans may encourage others to sit back and see how this one plays out, but few have faith in WWE to write a good second chapter after how badly they botched that situation between The Usos and The Street Profits.

This was a miss.
