The first Crown Jewel Championship match featured Liv Morgan facing Nia Jax in a champion vs. champion match. There was a lot of suspense and uncertainty surrounding the match due to external factors, especially Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton.

Although Morgan and Jax made their entrances alone, it was only a matter of time before their accomplices came out. Tiffany Stratton was up first, who came out once both competitors were taken out after the Women’s World Champion delivered a sunset flip powerbomb from the top rope. The Buff Barbie tried to cash in, but the Samoan interrupted her and sent her away from ringside.

Stratton had already warned the 30-year-old that she would take away her title and even her man, Dominik Mysterio. She was persistent and tried to cash in again, only to be interrupted this time by Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan, alongside the Latina Superstar, told the briefcase holder to mind her own business. However, this allowed the Queen of the Ring to get back into the match.

Right as the SmackDown Superstar was about to go for the Annihilator, Mysterio distracted the referee by throwing the briefcase into the ring. Rodriguez took a cheap shot at Jax from outside the ring, and Morgan picked up the pinfall victory after landing an ObLIVion. Triple H came out to the ring after the match to congratulate and present the Crown Jewel Championship belt to the Queen of Extreme.

The wrestling world expresses their frustration after Liv Morgan becomes the first Women’s Crown Jewel Champion

The WWE Universe was heavily disappointed with the execution of this match. Social media users thought that the match was too predictable and had a similar ending to all of Liv Morgan‘s matches over the past few months. She always won through some sort of distraction, and this time there weren’t even any major story beats that took place.

Some fans were disappointed that nothing too eventful happened during the match, especially the cash-in. There were several teases about Tiffany Stratton turning on her friend and potentially becoming the new WWE Women’s Champion. However, in classic Triple H fashion, this storyline angle may also be milked for a long time.

Netizens also felt bad for Nia Jax, who has been booked relatively poorly since becoming WWE Women’s Champion. She has already been pinned clean twice on SmackDown. Losing once again did her no favors and took away her credibility as a champion.
