Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan met in the Queen of the Ring final on Saturday at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia with the opportunity for a championship match at SummerSlam.
Morgan had the advantage of already being the women’s world champion before the match. If she won, she would earn a shot at Rhea Ripley’s WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam in August. If Sky won, she would have to choose between Morgan and Ripley.

Unfortunately for Morgan, Danhausen went to the champion and gave her a “curse”. Morgan and his Judgment Day henchmen attempted to bribe Danhausen into cursing their opponents. When Morgan told Danhausen that he owed them money, Danhausen ignored him and hexed him. Morgan responded with a slap and brushed off voodoo.
As the match began and progressed throughout the night, the WWE Universe may have really started to buy into the curse. Morgan did his best to try and put Sky away. She went to the high rent area but Sky stood up and fought back.

Sky hit Morgan with a Spanish Fly, then set her up for the Over the Moonsault. She nailed it perfectly and pinned Morgan for the win.
Sky is the queen of the ring.
She spoke to Byron Saxton after the match and wasted no time declaring her intention to win the Women’s World Championship.
“Liv, I’ll see you at SummerSlam,” Sky said.
Just like that, Sky vs. Morgan was the first match scheduled for SummerSlam. The two-day event will take place at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on August 1-2.

Sky has already hosted the WWE Women’s Championship and the Women’s World Championship once each. A victory in August would make her a three-time champion.
