As the dust settles on WrestleMania 42, one thing is clear: Liv Morgan is the new Women’s World Champion, and she’s not going down without a fight. The former Riott Squad member has been on a tear in recent months, capitalizing on her newfound momentum and charisma to claim the top spot in the WWE women’s division.
But with great power comes great responsibility, and the question on everyone’s mind is: who will be the first to dethrone Liv Morgan as WWE Women’s World Champion? We took a closer look at the current landscape and identified some potential challengers who could be in the running.
The Challengers
Ronda Rousey
The Baddest Woman on the Planet has been quietly rebuilding her momentum in the WWE, and many believe she’s due for a title shot. Rousey’s last reign as Women’s World Champion was marked by controversy and a series of high-profile feuds, but she’s shown a renewed sense of purpose in recent months. Sources close to Ronda suggest that she’s been eyeing the Liv Morgan title reign for some time, and she’s not going to let it go without a fight.
“I think Liv’s got a lot of heart, but at the end of the day, she’s still a newcomer to the title picture,” Ronda told us in a recent interview. “She’s got a lot to prove, and I’m more than happy to be the one to prove it.”
Shayna Baszler
The Queen of Harts has been quietly lurking in the shadows, waiting for her opportunity to strike. Baszler’s in-ring work has been consistently strong, and she’s developed a reputation as one of the toughest opponents in the WWE women’s division. According to a WWE insider, Shayna’s been meeting with company officials to discuss a potential title run, and it’s clear she’s got her sights set on Liv Morgan.
“I’m not just looking to be a challenger, I’m looking to be the next champion,” Baszler said in a recent promo. “And I’m not going to let anyone stand in my way, not even Liv Morgan.”
Asuka
The Empress of Tomorrow has been on a tear in recent months, taking on all comers and emerging victorious time and time again. Asuka’s in-ring work is as strong as ever, and she’s developed a reputation as one of the most dominant forces in the WWE women’s division. According to sources close to Asuka, she’s been meeting with company officials to discuss a potential title run, and it’s clear she’s got her sights set on Liv Morgan.
“I’m not just looking to be a champion, I’m looking to be the greatest champion of all time,” Asuka said in a recent promo. “And I’m going to do whatever it takes to make that happen.”
The Field of Contenders
While Ronda, Shayna, and Asuka are the most obvious challengers, there are several other contenders who could potentially dethrone Liv Morgan as WWE Women’s World Champion. Becky Lynch, for example, has been quietly rebuilding her momentum in recent months, and many believe she’s due for a title shot. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair has been struggling to find her footing in recent months, but a title run could be just what she needs to get back on track.
According to a WWE source, there are several other contenders who could potentially be in the running for a title shot, including:
- Nia Jax, who’s been quietly rebuilding her momentum in recent months
- Tamina, who’s been consistently strong in the ring and has a reputation as one of the toughest opponents in the WWE women’s division
- Io Shirai, who’s been on a tear in recent months and has a reputation as one of the most dominant forces in the WWE women’s division
