The quick version

  • Lynch told Raw Recap that Morgan's reign has hurt the Raw women's division, per Fightful and Wrestling Headlines. They meet for the Women's World Championship at Survivor Series on Saturday, Nov. 28, in Houston.
  • Her main point is that Morgan "didn't defend her title for 100 days." WWE has not answered, and we found no reply from Morgan.

Becky Lynch said Liv Morgan's Women's World Championship reign has done harm to the Raw women's division, in an interview with Raw Recap reported on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Lynch returned on Raw on Monday, Nov. 9, in Greenville, South Carolina. WWE then made Morgan vs. Lynch official for Survivor Series on Nov. 28 in Houston.

What Lynch said

Asked whether Morgan's reign has hurt the division, Lynch said, per Fightful: "Yes. 100% I do. ... her biggest claim to fame is that she didn't defend her title for 100 days. Like, that's the only thing that people have been talking about with Liv."

She went on: "It's the fact that she's best known for not doing anything, and I think that sums her up." Wrestling Headlines carries the same lines and adds that Lynch said the talk has not been about Morgan's work or the people she has brought up.

Lynch also said Morgan's Judgment Day allies prop her up. Per Wrestling Headlines, she said Morgan "was losing a Chelsea," meaning Chelsea Green at Crown Jewel, and "would have lost to me if they didn't jump in." Those are Lynch's claims about a storyline. We have not checked them against the match.

On her partner on Raw, Lynch said she called IYO SKY "IYO Jannetty" months ago and that SKY "needed a Shawn Michaels," per Wrestling Headlines.

The 100 days
