Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan addresses her Crown Jewel Championship victory
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan makes her way to the ring alongside Raquel Rodriguez and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. Morgan is wearing a huge ring on her finger, which signifies her WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. The actual title is being stored in a vault at the WWE Experience in Saudi Arabia.
Morgan says, “Welcome to Monday Night Morgan.” She asks them to give a warm welcome to the new Crown Jewel Champion—her. The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is officially over. Now, we’re moving on to the Liv Morgan World Tour. Just this past week, she defeated Tiffany Stratton and took out Rhea Ripley for the third time. Morgan ensured she’d be gone for a very long time. Then she traveled halfway across the globe to beat Nia Jax to become the new and only Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. The crowd boos. Morgan shouts, “Too bad!” She’s done everything she said she would do and proved she is the greatest Women’s Champion of all time. The crowd loudly boos.
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio grabs the microphone, and the crowd loudly boos him. Mysterio tries to speak, but they boo him down.
“A storm is coming.”
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair make their entrance. They get in the ring. Belair says they’re not the only ones who walked out of Crown Jewel with some gold last night (this show was taped on Sunday). Belair says they didn’t forget about the confrontation last week. Cargill says if they want a piece of the Tag Team Champions, now is their chance.
Morgan says they’re interrupting a celebration in the ring. Morgan mentions they were successful on Saturday, so why are they so angry? She thinks she knows… Belair thinks she’s the biggest, strongest, toughest, roughest… she thinks she’s the best. The problem is that her tag team partner thinks the same thing about herself. They can pretend to like each other and get along. Unlike the real friendship she has with Raquel, the only thing keeping them together is the Tag Team Championships. Belair says that’s not true. If they want to put that theory to the test, they can have a match tonight.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce heads to the ring and tells everyone to back up. Pearce gets in the ring and tells them to back down and calm down. Morgan shouts for them to get out of the ring. Morgan warns Cargill to avoid the knife Belair will put in her back. Belair takes exception to that and smashes Morgan in the face with her fist. Pearce tries to regain order. Pearce is here to make an announcement. What Morgan did to Ripley was disgusting. There will be a Battle Royal tonight. Whoever wins will be the No. 1 Contender for the Women’s World Championship. The Women’s Tag Team Champions will be in the Battle Royal. The biggest news of it all is that the Battle Royal starts right now.
Damage CTRL heads to the ring. The No. 1 Contenders Women’s Battle Royal is next.

-Commercial Break-
The Road to WrestleMania runs through Europe in 2025. Raw and SmackDown will have multiple European shows from Spain, Belgium, Italy, Scotland, and England.
Sami Zayn talks about what happened at WWE Crown Jewel
Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring to a big reception.
Video: This past Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel, Sami Zayn came to help Roman Reigns and The Usos against the Bloodline, but Zayn accidentally took Reigns out with a Helluva Kick.
Zayn greets the crowd in Arabic to a huge reaction. He says he is proud to come out in front of his people and speak their language on WWE TV, but that’s not why he’s here. He’s here to address what happened with him, Roman Reigns, and the Bloodline at Crown Jewel.
“Main Event” Jey Uso makes his way to the ring. Uso is not in a celebratory mood after losing to the Bloodline at Crown Jewel. The crowd LOUDLY sings Uso’s song. Uso says before Zayn says what he needs to say, he wants to thank Zayn for having his back at Crown Jewel. Uso looked at the footage of the kick to Reigns at Crown Jewel. Uso wants to know if that was intentional.
Before Zayn can answer, Jimmy Uso heads to the ring. Jimmy asks Jey what is wrong with him. Jey saw what he saw. The whole world saw it. Zayn kicked OTC in the face on purpose. The crowd boos. Jimmy is pissed, and the OTC is pissed. Jey should be pissed. They can’t trust Zayn. Zayn asks if Jimmy needs to be reminded of his track record. Before it was him and Jey, Jimmy was his guy. Jimmy brought him into the family first. The second things started to go back with him and Roman, Jimmy kicked him in the face. When things got back with Reigns, Jimmy kicked him in the face. When things got bad with Jey, Jimmy kicked him in the face. Zayn’s loyalty isn’t in question.
Jimmy says he doesn’t have to explain himself to Zayn. He isn’t the bad guy. Zayn says Jimmy doesn’t get it. Zayn says he doesn’t hate him and never has. Jimmy is not the bad guy. He’s not a bad guy, but he makes bad decisions. Zayn came out at Crown Jewel for Jey. Zayn wanted to make sure Jey was okay, but for a minute, when the four of them were fighting side by side in the ring, it felt like old times. It felt good, but it only lasted a minute. Then it fell apart. Zayn isn’t getting his loyalty questioned and isn’t getting put on trial. Zayn isn’t doing this again. Zayn says he loves Jey, but he can’t do this again. Zayn puts a hand on Jey’s shoulder and says, “I’m out.”
Zayn leaves the ring as the crowd chants, “No!” Jey says, “Sami, I’m asking you, please just come to SmackDown so all four of us can talk this out like family do.” Jimmy is incredulous and says, “Family? He ain’t family!” Jey says he was wrong. Just because he’s not blood-related, he IS family. Jey says he sees Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn. A loud “Sami Uso” chant fires up. Jey shouts, “Sami Usssss-O!” The crowd is really buzzing. Zayn looks conflicted as he stands on the ramp. Zayn backs up and heads to the back.
