Liv Morgan is receiving the push of her career right now. She won the Money in the Bank contract and the same night she cashed in her MITB briefcase to become the SmackDown Women’s Champion. It is being reported that Sasha Banks’ exit from the company led to Liv Morgan finally getting her big run.
The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of the company during an episode of Raw as the two were reportedly not happy with WWE’s creative plans for them. They were subsequently suspended indefinitely. Later, it was rumored that they had been released by the WWE, although it has not yet been made official.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that the key reason for Liv Morgan’s push is the vacuum left by The Boss Sasha Banks and Naomi’s absence. The company needed a top babyface on the Friday Night SmackDown and they chose Liv Morgan.
”Part of the reason, if not the key reason, for the recent push of Morgan was he walking out of Banks and Naomi. When they left, the idea was that Smackdown needed a new top tier woman babyface and Morgan was the one who got the pick of the draw,” said Meltzer.
