Liv Morgan Didn't Botch Table Spot
>WWE fans flocked to social media on Friday night during SmackDown to accuse Liv Morgan of botching a tricky table spot. It's now being reported that the swing and miss wasn't the 28-year-old's fault. Instead, there was apparently a lapse in communication during the hectic match, where six women were wrestling for the right to face Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series. Shotzi ended up winning the bout and was subsequently choked out by Shayna Baszler backstage for her troubles. The spot in question came toward the end of the match.
>Raquel Rodriguez was setting up Sonya Deville for a powerbomb from the steel steps through the announcer's table. Morgan attempted to dive from the barricade that separates fans from the ring area all the way to where Rodriquez was. Raquel would have fallen backward through the table, but Liv Morgan didn't get enough distance on her leap. It very clearly didn't go according to plan, and Dave Meltzer is reporting that the botch wasn't on Morgan. "There was a miscommunication, from what I understand," he said on Wrestling Observer Radio. "It wasn't supposed to be like that, but it got changed at the last second. I don't know if everyone knew. Liv dove off the barricade but didn't get far enough because, originally, it was going to be a different spot. From what I gather, when they were going to the ring, it got changed, and maybe Liv didn't hear about the change, so that was the result."
