Liv Morgan And Raquel Rodriguez On Winning Women’s Tag Team Titles – This week on WWE RAW, Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan defeated Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
They were scheduled to challenge Lynch and Lita for the gold, but Stratus replaced Lita after she was attacked backstage. Following the title match, Stratus shocked the fans by turning on Lynch.
In a WWE RAW Exclusive, Cathy Kelley asked Rodriguez and Morgan commented on their victory. Rodriguez noted that it had been a long day, but it was all worth it, as they were going home with the gold.
“Cathy, it has been a long, long day, but I think it’s safe to say that we went out there, and we gave it everything we got. We came here to fight, we came here to win titles, and we are going home champions,” Rodriguez said.
Morgan emphasized that she was grateful, and she’s proud to be Rodriguez’s partner. She stated that being a champion means more to her than anything, so she was happy in the aftermath of the win. Morgan also admitted that she never thought she would pin Trish Stratus to win a title.
“There’s not many times that I’m left speechless, but literally I have nothing to say. I’m just grateful, I’m so grateful. I’m so happy and proud to be your partner. Thank you so much. I never thought that we’d ever pin Trish Stratus to become new champions. Being a champion in WWE means more to me than anything, anything else in the world, so I’m just so happy. I’m so grateful,” Morgan said.
After Rodriguez noted that they’ve put blood, sweat, and tears into their journey up to his point, Morgan described how you never know when great things will happen. She thanked Rodriguez for giving her a chance before she brought up her history of getting betrayed in tag teams, and she told Rodriguez not to turn on her.
“Do you know how many times I’ve been betrayed in tag trans? Oh my god, dude, don’t betray me. Don’t you dare,” Morgan said.
When asked about the backstage attack on Lita, Morgan made it clear that they would never do such a thing. She stated that she didn’t know anything about it, and it was none of her business, as she was just focused on the fact that they won.
“This whole day has been a whirlwind. Between getting accused of attacking Lita, which we would never, ever, ever do, no matter how bad we wanted these [titles], so from being accused, seeing Trish turn on Becky, I don’t know. It’s been an interesting day, and it’s also none of my business. All I know is that we’re leaving here the new tag team champions,” Morgan said.
Likewise, Rodriguez stated that they fought with honor, as they played fair, and they didn’t do anything that violated their moral compass. She again stated that she was proud of them, and she was happy to call Morgan her partner.
“[We are] respectable champions because we came out here, we played fair, and we didn’t do anything that was against our own good moral compass to win these titles, so I am proud of everything we have done today. I’m proud of Liv, and I’m so happy to call her my tag team partner and co-champion,” Rodriguez said.
With the win, Rodriguez became a two-time WWE Women’s Tag team Championship, as she previously held the titles with Aliyah.
