Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Iyo Sky Segment
Liv Morgan: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Morgan. And please make some noise, for the most gorgeous man in WWE, he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time, Dominik Mysterio.
Dominik Mysterio: Thank you, my love, but tonight is about me, today is all about you.
Liv Morgan: Thank you, Dominik, because respect is the exact reason why I came out here to talk tonight. You see, it seems like everyone needs reminding that this is my division, and when you talk about my division, you talk about me. You see, Nikki Bella, she had to learn the hard way last week, and now she’s sitting at home, all beat up, watching me on her television, which is exactly where she should be. Do you guys want to know what was worse than Nikki Bella not mentioning me last week? It’s the fact that Iyo Sky went up to her before she came out, and she said, you paved the way for us all. Well, what a joke, because no one paved the way for me, especially not Nikki Bella. I paved my own way, and then I became the history breaking, recording breaking, first and only 4X Women’s Tag Team Champion. And do you guys know what that makes me? Because I know you guys know what that makes me. That makes me the greatest Women’s Tag Team Champion of all-time. So, I’m not asking for respect anymore, I’m demanding it, just like I’m demanding the rematch that I never got for the Women’s World Championship. So, Iyo, we can do things the easy way or we could do things the hard way.
– Iyo Sky makes her way down to the ring.
Iyo Sky: Hey, Liv, do everyone a favor, shut your mouth. All you do is whine and show disrespect. You disrespect Nikki Bella, and you disrespect me. If you want to fight me, I’m right here.
Liv Morgan: I do want to fight you, Iyo, but I only want to fight you for this championship. But if you’re scared, if you’re scared to fight me, because we know I’ve beaten you more than any other woman in this division, then that’s okay, we don’t need to have this fight, you can hand me the title. I’m okay with just taking the title, just give it to me, and I’ll be cool with that.
Iyo Sky: I’m not handing you anything. If you want it, you have to earn it. You can’t just steal it, like you stole Dirty Dom.
Dominik Mysterio: Whoa, whoa, Iyo. Just make this easy for Liv, and give her what she wants, just like I do every single day.
Liv Morgan: Iyo, Iyo, you should listen to Dominik, because he’s a smart man. You can just give the title a little spit shot and then hand it off to me. I’ll take it right now, thank you, thank you so much.
Iyo Sky: You want it? Alright, alright, Liv, you can have it.
Iyo hands the title over to Liv and dropkicks her to the floor. Iyo kicks Dominik in the back of the head. Liv and Dominik regroup on the outside to close this segment.

Bayley & Becky Lynch Segment
Bayley: Ding-dong, Green Bay. It feels so amazing to be back, I miss you guys so much. You heard that, Michael Cole? Alright, you guys all know the classic quote, you don’t know what you have till it’s gone. But in this case, every time I step into this ring, I know exactly what I have, I know exactly what it feels like to step in here. I don’t take this for granted, I don’t take those chants for granted, I don’t take you guys singing my song for granted, because every single time I get an opportunity to be in front of you guys, I revel in it, it’s what I was born to do. This is what’s most important to me. This is what I put my heart and soul into every single night. And two months ago, I was stripped off an opportunity, I was robbed of a WrestleMania match. I was robbed of an opportunity to go for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, a division that I hold near and dear in my heart.
But luckily for me, I don’t come in here day in and day out, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, every single day, losing sleep, putting my body on the line for just one night. I don’t do it for the big moments, I don’t do it for the championships, I don’t do it only for WrestleMania, I do it for nights like tonight, for people like you. So, Becky Lynch, if you think you taking me out for WrestleMania hurt me, if you think it broke me, I want you to know that you’re wrong, that it healed me, Becky. That it made me better, Becky. That it made me stronger. Now, I may have said in the past, hell, even right up to WrestleMania, how much it bothers me, how much you’ve been a chip on my shoulder, that you always have just been two steps ahead. You’ve always been two rungs ahead, right up there, that I could never make it. Yeah, that ate at me, Becky. But you know what? I’m climbing that ladder, Becky, and I’m coming straight for you, and I’m knocking you down, and I’m taking everything that you took me from me, so you better get your ass out here, right now.
Becky Lynch: They beat you last time. I’ve always been a chip on your shoulder? You and me, we’re the same, we were never meant to be at top of this business, but you accept being second fiddle, I don’t, much like the Packers. You, you would rather have your little group of friends than your legacy, but I would always prefer to have my legacy than a group of fake ass friends.
Bayley: Legacy? You want to talk about legacy? Becky, I built a legacy, I’m a future Hall Of Famer, if I do say so myself, right, Michael Cole? That’s right, I built my legacy, and I’m so confident in my legacy that I don’t mind bringing along the locker room with me, I don’t mind bringing people that need help.
Becky Lynch: Yeah, yeah, the people, you fight for the people. I used to fight for the people, but the people stopped fighting for me, so I stopped fighting for the people. And hey, here’s the secret, the people stop fighting for you, too. You want to know the proof, when I took you out at WrestleMania, and I walked out there on that ramp, nobody gave a damn about you. Nobody cared that you weren’t there, they all cheered for me, didn’t you?
Bayley: Do you hear yourself? You sound like an idiot. Everybody could see it here, these people here could see it. Becky, you’re so insecure. You are so worried about what they think, you took a whole year off, and you were so worried about whether they would boo you or whether they would cheer you, that you had to take me out. You didn’t know if they were gonna care if you came back, you had to be a surprise, you took me out. And 24 hours later, it still didn’t sit right with you, you probably didn’t sleep, and you had to take out, Lyra, too, because you couldn’t hack it if they were going to boo or cheer you.
Becky Lynch: They cheered for that, didn’t they? Yeah, they cheered for that, too.
Bayley: Becky, do you even remember what it feels like to have to fight for everything, to have to fight for opportunities like WrestleMania, to earn yourself the right to fight for a championship? Do you remember that or is your head too far up your ass that you just don’t know what it’s like anymore?
Becky Lynch: No, actually, I don’t, I don’t remember what it’s like. Do you remember what gold feels like?
Bayley: I don’t actually, why don’t you remind me, Becky? Step to me, you’re sitting against the ropes. Why don’t you remind me what gold feels like?
Becky Lynch: I’m not gonna turn my back to you, because you’re sneaky, but okay, you want a little match, you can have a little match, but not in Green Bay, and not for my title. See you in Columbus.
Becky slaps Bayley in the face. Bayley rocks Becky with a forearm smash. Becky scurries out of the ring to close this segment.
– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Jey Uso. Tonight is very important. Jey has a lot respect for GUNTHER. As far as he’s concerned, it’s tied at 1-1. GUNTHER can look past Seth Rollins and Goldberg, but they’re going to run it back. If that means winning the King Of The Ring Tournament, say less. Remember, four letters, one word, uh-uh, YEET!
– Nick Aldis informs AJ Styles that he’ll be facing Dominik Mysterio for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Night Of Champions. He’s also adding a twist to next week’s Becky Lynch/Bayley match, the Women’s Intercontinental Championship will be on the line. Bayley walks up to Lyra Valkyria. Bayley says that she’s trying to do what’s best for her, and she apologizes for not respond to Lyra’s text messages, it’s nothing personal.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Sami Zayn. Sami has talked so much about the World Heavyweight Championship, and how much it means to him, and now the opportunity is right in front of him. To him, this opportunity just feels different as opposed to the previous time he’s gone after World Titles in the past. Karrion Kross joins the conversation. Kross says that this is so disturbing. There’s absolutely nothing different about this. Kross says that Sami is insane. Here’s what’s going to happen. Sami will go to SmackDown, and he’s going to compete against Randy Orton, and then he’s going to close, and Randy will go on to become a 15X Champion. Sami calls Kross a coward for hiding in the shadows and talking in riddles. Kross refuses to go out there, because he can’t back up his talk, maybe he doesn’t have the courage to fall on his face. Sami has talked a big game and lost, be had the courage to get back on his feet. Sami is done listening to Kross. His sole focus right now is the King Of The Ring. However, Sami is gonna make a promise to Kross, once KOTR is over, he’s gonna go to Adam Pearce’s Office, and they’re going to have this match. Kross says that it’s about time.
