IYO SKY Wins Queen of the Ring, Names Liv Morgan as SummerSlam Title Opponent

The victory gives SKY a guaranteed shot at the Women's World Championship at SummerSlam after a final shaped by on‑screen angles that changed the title picture.

Overview

  • IYO SKY defeated reigning Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring final at WWE Night of Champions in Riyadh on June 27 to claim the tournament crown.
  • SKY immediately announced she will challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam, turning the tournament outcome into a direct title match booking.
  • Before the final, Danhausen confronted Morgan and put an on‑screen “curse” on her, an angle that commentators and outlets linked to the match’s dramatic framing.
  • During the bout SKY appeared to tweak her knee after landing on the steel steps but fought through the pain and won by pinfall after hitting a Spanish Fly and the Over the Moonsault finish.
  • The tournament granted the winner a SummerSlam title opportunity and came after earlier tournament beats — including an attack on Charlotte Flair before her semifinal with Morgan — that shaped who reached the final and the broader women’s title story.
