“Miscommunication” Led To Massive Botch During Number 1 Contenders Match On Friday Night SmackDown

Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan botched a table spot during the 6-pack challenge on Friday Night SmackDown, which sparked a lot of discussion on social media. Many WWE fans blamed Liv Morgan for not being able to leap far enough to hit the target, with some also blaming Rodriguez for being in the wrong position.

Dave Meltzer recounted what happened on Wrestling Observer Radio. According to what he understood, there was a miscommunication. He claimed that while they were on their way to the ring, something changed and Liv didn’t hear about it, therefore that was the result.

There was a miscommunication, from what I understand. In the sense that it wasn’t supposed to be like that but it got changed like at the last second. I don’t know if everyone knew. Liv dove off the barricade but didn’t get far enough because originally it was going to be a different spot. From what I gather when they were going to the ring it got changed and maybe Liv didn’t hear about the change so that was the result.

Everything else went according to plan. Shotzi won the match to become the number one contender for Ronda Rousey’s SmackDown Women’s title at Survivor Series later this month.
