Liv Morgan added to MITB; Carmella now facing Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Title on July 16

Bayley’s injury that was reported earlier on Friday shook the SmackDown women’s division and put a wrench into the Money in the Bank plans. Bayley was set to face Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Champion at the July 18 event but due to an ACL injury during training, she is now out of action for at least nine months.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville had to find a suitable replacement for Bayley now that she is unable to compete. Prior to Deville making her announcement, Bayley had some words to give to the WWE audience.

Now, what happens with the SmackDown Women’s Title match? It is no longer on the Money in the Bank card but will be on the July 16 episode of SmackDown, the first show back with a live crowd. Belair will be facing and defending her title against a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and two-time Money in the Bank winner – Carmella.

The most beautiful woman in all of WWE will have the chance to become a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion which means she will no longer be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Before Deville could announce that last part, an irate Liv Morgan made her way to the ring. She was tired of seeing Carmella getting handing opportunities while she herself has earned them.

Deville then snapped back at her letting her know she should have let her finish. Because Carmella has been pulled from the MITB match, Morgan is now in. As Morgan leaves with a smile on her face, she says she hopes Carmella defeats Belair so that she can win the briefcase and cash in on her.

This of course caught the eye of Bianca Belair. She says that she will gladly take Carmella as her challenger. She sends a message to Bayley saying she looks forward to finishing their feud when she comes back.

The Money in the Bank Ladder Match participants is now: Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan, and two more women to be announced.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley in an “I Quit” match set at Money in the Bank for the SmackDown Women’s Title

The stakes continue to pile high surrounding the SmackDown Women’s Championship!

On this week’s SmackDown, Bianca Belair has challenged Bayley with her SmackDown Women’s Title on the line once again to a match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. However, since Belair defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell it can’t be just any ordinary match. The two will battle in an “I Quit” match.

Bayley was able to pin Belair in a Mixed Tag Team Match last week which has placed that chip firmly right back on her shoulder. The Role Model feels that the EST is not living up to the expectations of the WWE Universe and her prior win was just a fluke. Belair feels that Bayley just won’t leave her alone and move on after defeating her over and over again.

After Belair said she wanted this type of match, Bayley started laughing. Once she realized she was serious she was all for it. Bayley says she has never quit anything in her whole life. Adding to the conversation she says that if she utters “I Quit” then she might as well not only quit SmackDown, she should quit the WWE and while she’s at it, wrestling altogether. She says that if Belair says she quits though, Bayley would not be surprised in the least.

What do you think of this stipulation? Will these be the nice cherry on top of this rivalry to end it? Leave your thoughts below.

SmackDown Women’s Title match booked for Hell in a Cell; Carmella defeats Liv Morgan

This week’s SmackDown saw SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair putting her foot down when it comes to Bayley. Belair knows that she has bested Bayley inside the ring, however, for a while now the Role Model has been getting in the head of the EST.

Belair admits that she has had people mocking and laughing at her her entire life. Something that Bayley continues to do to her with her excessive cackling. So the champ decides to take the matter in her own hands and challenges Bayley to a match at Hell in a Cell.

As Belair is waiting for Bayley to answer the challenge, the champion starts to hear the cackling. Bayley shows up on the screen via satellite from her “sanctuary” where she had photos of herself as champion plastered behind her. The Role Model then accepts the EST’s challenge and says that she won’t be the only one laughing when she beats her. She then starts her laughter as all the screens in the Thunderdome fill up with the image of Bayley cackling.

Much like the upcoming RAW Women’s Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair, this match was not announced to be inside the Hell in a Cell structure at the time of this writing.

Also on SmackDown, Carmella took on Liv Morgan. Prior to the match, Morgan addressed in a prerecorded promo that she thinks it is so cute that Carmella thinks she is the most beautiful woman in all of WWE. Morgan considers Carmella a 7 at best.

At the end of the match, Carmella tripped up Morgan and then proceeded to lock her in the Code of Silence. Morgan then tapped out to give Carmella the victory. After the match, Carmella required the ring announcer to address her win by referring to her as “the most beautiful woman in all of WWE.”

Morgan took to her social media after her loss and tweeted out to “keep watching.”
