The action also spilled outside the ring when Stephanie executed the Devil’s Kiss on the announcer’s table. In the final phase of the bout, Vaquer seemed to have the upper hand.

However, the momentum shifted after The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez rushed in to help her factionmate.

Becky Lynch ran out for the save and took out Rodriguez. However, it was all part of Judgment Day’s master plan: everyone, including the referee, was distracted in the chaos, and Roxanne Perez handed Morgan her title.

The Man chased Perez outside the ringside. This distracted Vaquer a bit. Taking advantage, Liv smartly smashed the Title on the Dark Angel’s head, followed it with an Oblivion, and pinned Stephanie.

In this listicle, we will explore three potential reasons why Liv Morgan retained her WWE Women’s World Championship on Monday Night RAW.

#3. Long-term WWE plans

As of writing, Liv Morgan had completed 141 days as the Women’s World Champion and had made only two title defenses.

Morgan’s first title defense was against IYO SKY at SummerSlam 2026, and tonight marked her second against Stephanie Vaquer.

That said, the Miracle Kid’s Women’s World Championship reign is still in an early stage, and given the star power she brings to the table, WWE may have long-term plans for her.

Therefore, the company may have planned to keep the strap on Morgan while potentially writing a longer reign for her.

#2. Saving her title loss for a big PLE

Liv Morgan has established herself as one of the biggest heels in the current women’s division. Her work as a villain keeps on improving with each passing week, adding more feuds to her run.

Therefore, WWE could not see Dominik Mysterio’s television girlfriend losing her title on a regular episode of Monday Night RAW, as it would tarnish all the hype and buzz it could generate for a big premium live event.

Hence, Morgan dropping her title at a big PLE would give WWE a massive stage to capitalize on the Miracle Kid’s downfall.

#1. To book a triple threat match

The Women’s World Championship picture is getting interesting as Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch are both standing on the front line to get their hands on the gold.

The Dark Angel already told the Man to stay out of her business and not have her back during her title match. However, Big Time Becks did call her shots and rushed to take Raquel Rodriguez out. This allowed Roxanne Perez to hand Morgan the belt, which ultimately served as the final blow in the match, and Liv had a big win over La Primera.

Vaquer could now push all the blame on Lynch for causing the distraction that cost her the title match. Meanwhile, Becky could call her shot at the Women’s World Championship, as The Dark Angel failed to make the most of her chance.

That said, there will be a perfect triple threat scenario on the red brand, prompting General Manager Adam Pearce to book a three-way title match, potentially at Money in the Bank.

Therefore, to potentially book the blockbuster triple threat match, WWE may have let Liv Morgan retain her Women’s World Championship on RAW.
