Liv Morgan called dibs on fighting Ember Moon

“I want first when you’re back buddy.”

Last July, Morgan came seconds away from defeating Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. That loss sent her into a downward spiral that led to her disappearance from WWE TV.

Back and looking to move up the ranks in the women’s division, she confronted the now-NXT women’s champion Charlotte on Monday night and challenged her to a match.

The ensuing contest elevated Morgan’s star even as she once again tapped to The Queen’s Figure Eight submission. Morgan has been building momentum for herself with every passing week, including consecutive victories over Ruby Riott.

Liv was also part of the Elimination Chamber match that was won by Shayna Baszler in dominant fashion, and she defeated Natalya on the pre-show of Night 2 of WrestleMania 36.

Moon opens up about injury

Ember suffered an Achilles injury in September while chasing after the 24/7 title. She has been out of action ever since and during WWE Backstage.

Moon opened up briefly about her career and what she wishes she would have done differently. Moon discussed how she wishes some of her title matches had gone another way. Then she revealed that her torn Achilles could be a career-ending injury.

“I look back at my career in WWE — I’ve been here five years,” Moon began. “I look back, and yeah, I should have been the one to defeat Asuka’s streak, or ‘Aw, man, me and Bayley from SummerSlam, I wish I’d done more.’ The more and more I sit back and look at everything I’d re-do, I think about my injury currently.

“Realizing that I may have a career-ending injury. I’m coming back from the hardest injury and I might not have a chance to redeem myself of all the things I wanted to do and I wanted to do in my future. It’s so hard to look back and regret, when I try to look forward.”
