WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns returns, Paul Heyman gets a threatening phone call, 2 big Money in the Bank qualifiers scheduled for the show (July 9th, 2021)

#5 WWE SmackDown Superstar Liv Morgan fights for a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match

Liv Morgan has a big challenge awaiting her on WWE SmackDown

Last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown saw Zelina Vega make a surprise return to the company. She faced Liv Morgan in her first match upon coming back and lost after a surprise roll-up pinfall. However, Vega already has a spot for herself in the Money in the Bank ladder match, while Morgan is yet to receive the same opportunity. Could that change for her tonight?

Morgan has seen both Camella and Zelina Vega getting picked over her for the Women’s MITB ladder match. She has defeated both those superstars on WWE SmackDown and is understandably frustrated about being overlooked. Morgan will hope to compete in a legitimate qualifier and earn a spot for herself ahead of the upcoming pay-per-view.

The full story of someone’s journey is never told. The hard work, the long nights, scary ones too. The dues that were paid, the no’s, the heartbreak, the injuries, sacrifices.. You only see what I choose to show you.. but one day, you’ll see. I’ve just started to shock the world. pic.twitter.com/miJtgPO5tv

We could also see Vega and Morgan involved in an extended rivalry on WWE SmackDown. The Blue brand desperately needs more superstars to step up and increase the competition in the women’s division. A convincing feud between the two superstars will help the creative team to push more talents and craft new storylines for the show.
