It’s now official – Liv Morgan has made her big WrestleMania 42 decision. After weeks of suspense, the two-time Women’s World Champion has chosen to challenge Stephanie Vaquer on the grandest stage of them all.
With this announcement, the WrestleMania 42 card is slowly taking shape, and the excitement for the Las Vegas mega event is growing day by day.
Liv Morgan Chooses Stephanie Vaquer for WrestleMania 42
Liv Morgan earned the right to choose her WrestleMania opponent after winning the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Match. Fans were curious whether she would go after Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer or WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
After taking a few weeks to think about it, Morgan made her choice clear on WWE Raw in Atlanta.
She didn’t just announce it with words. She made a bold statement.
Morgan hit Vaquer in the head with a microphone and followed it up with her finishing move, ObLIVion. The attack was likely a response to comments Vaquer made about her the previous week in Memphis. With that move, Liv officially confirmed that she is coming for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42.
Morgan is now looking to become a three-time Women’s World Champion, something that would further cement her legacy in WWE.
