Liv Morgan is already the WWE Women’s World Champion. That said, Morgan wants a lot more and promises to be the one to challenge for the WWE Women’s Title come SummerSlam 2026. This week on WWE SmackDown, the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, was absolutely rocking as they found out who will go up against Morgan in the semis of this amazing tourney.
It was chaos from the get-go. Unfortunately, B-FAB and Michin would try to interfere in this intense matchup, but would quickly get thwarted and beaten down all the way to the back by Alexa Bliss and Tiffany Stratton.
The action continued, as all four women went at it. The tides would turn when Jade Cargill hit a Tower of Doom Powerbomb on all three of her opponents, followed up by a slam on Flair. Charlotte would get up as the two would go at it one-on-one. Before Flair’s offense could truly get going, Sol Ruca would hit a Missile Dropkick. Valkyria would interfere, clearing the ring.
Ruca saw the opportunity and hit a stunning Moonsault on the outside on all of them, getting Lyra in the ring and hitting a Springboard Frog Splash for a near-fall. Ruca’s onslaught would continue, but before she could capitalize and win the match. She would eat a Pump Kick from Cargill. Jade would hit Jaded on Flair, only for Lyra to break it up. Out of nowhere, Ruca would hit Sol Snatcher, and once again, Lyra would pull her out of the ring.
Valkyria would hit a Guillotine Leg Drop, but would then get caught up in Natural Selection. Flair would lock in the Figure 8 Leg-Lock. Now, Charlotte Flair is on her way to the semis of the Queen of the Ring to face off against Liv Morgan.
