Major upset at WWE Money in the Bank following Liv Morgan's cash-in

After winning the ladder match earlier tonight, Liv Morgan successfully cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Ronda Rousey to capture the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

Ronda and Natalya's match ended when the latter tried to apply the Sharpshooter but was countered by the champion. Rousey then locked in the ankle lock and forced The Queen of Harts to tap out.
