Following the victory, Baszler is set to face Liv Morgan at the Clash at the Castle event on September 3.Shayna Baszler believes Ronda Rousey was the true WWE SmackDown Women's ChampionLiv Morgan's title defense against The Baddest Woman on the Planet on SummerSlam ended in controversy. Morgan tapped out of Rousey's armbar, but the referee continued to count to three, resulting in Morgan retaining her championship.Right after the match, one of Rousey's Four Horsewomen group members expressed that a true champion shouldn't have accepted the result. She then proceeded to call Rousey the rightful champion.&quot;A true champion wouldn't accept a 'win' like that. @RondaRousey is the rightful champ. #AndNew #SummerSlam&quot; Baszler tweetedShayna Baszler@QoSBaszlerA true champion wouldn’t accept a “win” like that. @RondaRousey is the rightful champ. #AndNew #SummerSlam2294222A true champion wouldn’t accept a “win” like that. @RondaRousey is the rightful champ. #AndNew #SummerSlamMorgan's win also resulted in a negative reaction from fans during tonight's episode. In an interview segment with Kayla Braxton, fans were audibly disrespecting the champion with &quot;You tapped out&quot; chants. The reaction was so intense that the interviewer had to address the situation later on social media.For now, it looks like Baszler has all the momentum she needs going into the title match against Morgan.Do you think a new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion will be crowned?
