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 of a championship match at SummerSlam.
Morgan had the benefit of already being the women’s world champion going into 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 need to choose between Morgan and Ripley.

Unfortunately for Morgan, Danhausen addressed the champion and put a “curse” on her. Morgan and her Judgment Day cronies tried to bribe Danhausen to put curses on their opponents. When Morgan told Danhausen he owed them money, Danhausen brushed it off and put the hex on her. Morgan responded with a slap and brush off of the voodoo.
As the match started and progressed through the night, the WWE Universe may have really started to buy into the curse. Morgan did her best to try to put Sky away. She went to the high-rent district but Sky got up and countered.

Sky hit Morgan with a Spanish Fly and then set her up for the Over the Moonsault. She nailed it perfectly and pinned Morgan for the victory.
Sky is the Queen of the Ring.
She spoke to Byron Saxton after the match and wasted no time declaring her intentions to go after the Women’s World Championship.
“Liv, I’ll see you at SummerSlam,” Sky said.
Just like that, Sky vs. Morgan was the first match set for SummerSlam. The two-day event takes place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Aug. 1 and 2.

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