Shayna Baszler Believes The Fans Celebrating Liv Morgan’s SummerSlam Victory Know Nothing About Wrestling

At SummerSlam last month Liv Morgan managed to steal a victory from Ronda Rousey as she tapped out to an armbar. After the match, Rousey would beat down and apply another armbar to the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

During an appearance on WWE’s The Bump, Shayna Baszler discussed this outcome and noted that Morgan, like everybody else, knows she tapped out. The Queen of Spades criticized the way fans are supporting the champion’s questionable victory.

“The slow-mo was played. She tapped before the third count dropped. You can, ‘Oh, the ref’s decision is final’, sure. But the fact of the matter remains, she knows she tapped. We all can see in slow-motion that she tapped. The fact that she has a fandom that’s claiming that I’m the one’s wrong about that? That’s your hero? That’s how you want your hero to be, to skate by on a technicality and not be legit? Nah, not for me and not my nieces. They’re gonna look at someone like me, who leaves no question. You will tap, or you will take a nap, or your bones will snap. There’s no question. That’s a champion. Her fans clearly, she has the group of the WWE Universe that know nothing about wrestling. So that’s the only excuse I see,”
