WWE WrestleMania 42 Results For Liv Morgan Vs. Stephanie Vaquer

WWE has a new Women’s World Champion, and her name is Liv Morgan.

Capping off an interference-filled women’s championship match, The Judgment Day star defeated Vaquer with an Oblivion to capture her third world championship. Here are the key moments and takeaways from Morgan’s big victory:

• Early on, Vaquer hit a running splash in the corner and then Morgan nailed a flipping powerbomb off the ropes. Morgan nailed the Three Amigos and paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero. Morgan missed a frog splash and then Vaquer took advantage with a side suplex. Much to the crowd’s delight, Vaquer pounded Morgan with the Devil’s Kiss.
• Morgan hit Vaquer with a backstabber and then went for a Devil’s Kiss of her own but was unable to hit it. Morgan missed a shining wizard, and Vaquer hit a double underhook backbreaker for two. Morgan hit a Codebreaker and missed a clothesline, then Vaquer shockingly hit Morgan with Oblivion. That got just two.
• Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez interfered. Rodriguez smashed Vaquer into the ropes and Morgan nailed Vaquer with Oblivion, but it got just two. What a nice nearfall. Rodriguez and Perez continued to try to interfere, and Morgan missed a dive, inadvertently taking out Rodriguez. Vaquer then hit a springboard splash onto the Judgment Day members on the outside.
• Morgan sent Vaquer into the turnbuckle and then hit a Codebreaker. Vaquer ricocheted into the ring ropes and then Morgan blasted her with the Oblivion. That was enough for the 1-2-3.

WWE WrestleMania 42 Results: What’s Next For Liv Morgan And Stephanie Vaquer?

When Morgan returned to WWE last fall, it was if her journey to WrestleMania glory was written in the stars.

WWE fans across the world fantasy-booked Morgan’s return run: win the 2026 Royal Rumble and capture a world title at WrestleMania 42. That’s exactly what Morgan did, too, and it couldn’t have been scripted much better, at least for Morgan, that is.

The WrestleMania feud between Vaquer and Morgan wasn’t overly exciting or complex. Vaquer, who won the title after Naomi was forced to vacate it last year, never felt like anything more than a transitional champion. She, after all, had no real feuds or magical moments as champions and simply kept it warm for Morgan. WWE will have to go back to the drawing board for Vaquer, who would benefit from some time off TV, perhaps a slight repackaging and a renewed push whenever she does return.

Now that Morgan is champion, though, what comes next?

Although Morgan is technically a heel as a member of The Judgment Day, you have to wonder just how much longer WWE can keep her in that role. At WrestleMania 42, Morgan, once again, received a hero’s welcome. Yet, even since Morgan came back last November, WWE fans have been reacting to her like a massive fan favorite for much of the past two years.

With Morgan having a high-profile role on TV for the past few years, WWE’s often hard-to-please fan base has grown enamored with the popular star. For now, she remains a heel due to her association with Judgment Day, but it’s going to take a minor miracle for WWE to keep her in that role.

Although Morgan needed to be a heel for her WrestleMania 42 rivalry with Vaquer, Judgment Day doesn’t appear to have a whole lot of gas left in the tank after Finn Balor was recently exiled from the group. Thus, WWE needs to start thinking of an exit strategy for Morgan, too.

Morgan is a bona fide star, and after her big WrestleMania moment, WWE may have no choice but to turn her babyface in the months ahead.
