There could be upcoming adjustments to the championship landscape as WWE heads into WrestleMania 42 next April. On the women’s side, Liv Morgan secured her title shot at WrestleMania by winning last Saturday’s Royal Rumble. Morgan now has the option to challenge for either the Women’s World Championship, held by Stefanie Vachelle, or the WWE Women’s Championship, currently in the hands of Jade Cargill.
However, recent events suggest that things might shift before WrestleMania. During tonight’s WWE SmackDown, Morgan, accompanied by her Judgment Day teammate Raquel Rodriguez, appeared with the intent to scout Cargill. The encounter quickly evolved into a tag team match featuring Morgan and Rodriguez teaming up against Cargill and Jordyn Grace, one of Cargill’s recent rivals. Grace secured the victory by pinning an opponent.
Following the match, Nick Aldis announced that Jordyn Grace will face Jade Cargill next week on SmackDown for the WWE Women’s Championship—Cargill’s first title defense since reclaiming the belt on November 1st. With Grace now in the mix, Morgan’s WrestleMania opponents may shift, meaning she could potentially face either Stefanie Vachelle or Jordyn Grace instead of Cargill.
Fan Take: This development injects fresh intrigue into the women’s title picture heading into WrestleMania 42, keeping fans guessing about who will ultimately headline the event. It’s an exciting twist that shows WWE’s commitment to evolving storylines and elevating new stars, which is great for the sport’s future.
