WWE's Liv Morgan Faces Criticism Over Championship Defenses

Liv Morgan has held the Women’s World Championship since April, but her title defenses have been notably sparse, with only one televised defense occurring in that time frame.

She won the championship from Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42 on April 18, but then went 119 days without a televised match defending her title. The only defenses during this period were at house shows in June. It wasn't until SummerSlam that she retained her title against Iyo Sky, marking her first televised defense.

WWE's decision to include Morgan in a tournament to determine her next challenger instead of focusing on her title defenses has drawn criticism. This led to her losing in the finals to Sky, who subsequently received a title shot. The lack of defenses has been noted by both fans and fellow wrestlers, with some expressing a desire to challenge Morgan. Despite the criticism, Morgan has embraced her role as champion, emphasizing her commitment to representing the division.
