Liv Morgan Retains Women’s World Title With SummerSlam Win Over Iyo Sky

The victory closes a more than 100‑day gap between defenses, positioning growing Judgment Day tensions as a likely storyline.

Overview

  • At SummerSlam on Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Liv Morgan defeated Iyo Sky to retain the WWE Women’s World Championship after hitting her finisher Oblivion for the pin.
  • The match featured a reported ankle injury to Iyo Sky that contributed to the finish when Sky missed an Over the Moonsault and could not fully recover.
  • Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez attempted to interfere on Iyo Sky’s behalf, actions that highlighted visible tension inside The Judgment Day during and after the bout.
  • Morgan’s defense was her first recorded title defense in more than 100 days since winning the belt at WrestleMania 42 on April 18, a gap that had drawn media and fan criticism.
  • The win gives Morgan short‑term validation of the reign and sets up a likely storyline with Perez as a top challenger while keeping Iyo Sky positioned as a strong, crowd‑favored contender.
