The SmackDown Women’s Champion is no longer the underdog.
Liv Morgan has had a rocky reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion. She remains a champion that continues to show more and more everyday that she is no longer the plucky underdog. Liv will look to defeat Ronda Rousey for the third time on Saturday night at Extreme Rules.
Speaking to Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, Morgan says that the type of environment she’s entering on Saturday, October 8, is one in which she thrives.
“I don’t feel like the underdog,” she began. “Especially going into this match, this is where I thrive. This is where Liv Morgan thrives. I think I’ve discovered myself to be a bit of a masochist. In not as much as I like the pain, but like, ‘Okay, may I have more?’ I want to see what can keep me down, and so I’m excited for the challenge of Extreme Rules, I really am, and I’m willing to take any and all the pain.
“I’m excited like a little sicko,” she added. “I feel excited. I’m not nervous. I feel excited. I feel happy. I’m like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for allowing me to do this.’ I threw down the challenge and it was accepted, and now here we go, My first-ever Extreme Rules match. , I couldn’t be more happy. You know, last year I was on the pre-show and here I am defending SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey. It’s insane.”
