SmackDown Match Reportedly Was Going To End Differently
The October 8 SmackDown match between Carmella and Liv Morgan at one point was going to end differently, according to Fightful Select.
According to the report, ahead of the match, Liv Morgan was penciled in to win the Queen's Crown tournament first-round match instead of Carmella.
Fightful also noted that there is significant frustration from talent and staff about the booking of the women's division lately.
Fans have even expressed on social media their own frustrations over last night's booking.
One fan tweeted, "Toni Storm vs Zelina lasted 2:14 Liv Morgan vs Carmella lasted 1:36 Roman's entrance was longer than both women's matches. Not even a little bit of respect with this Queen's Crown tournament. Absolutely unacceptable. #SmackDown"
While another wrote, "It's genuinely honest to god sad how #WWE books #LivMorgan like legit sad. #LivMorganDeservesBetter"
