Liv Morgan on silencing the doubters and proving she’s a dominant champion: “Yeah, I feel like if anyone had any doubts before, then they definitely don’t have them now.”

On the emotions after the match: “This was probably the hardest match of my whole, entire life. Shayna hits so damn hard. She brought her A-game. So I feel happy and emotional just to keep this, and also just to have the opportunity to. The crowd, the electric, it felt so momentous that it just touched me.”
