– Kayla Braxton is in the ring and asks us to welcome Liv Morgan, who slips a scarf over her arm. The crowd reminds her that she clicked. Liv Morgan says this title means everything to her. This is why she managed to survive several badges, she clicked after I thought the referee had finished the installation. Sonya Deville enters and says it’s time for a dose of reality. We all know she shouldn’t be a heroine. She loves to see her get hurt, and you will win a Gauntlet match and defeat her at Clash at the Castle to take away the thing dear to her.
