Who Could Dethrone Liv Morgan as WWE Women’s World Champion

Liv Morgan is only just settling into her fourth reign as WWE Women’s World Champion, but the list of wrestlers gunning for her title keeps growing. With Money in the Bank implications still looming and a crowded Raw and SmackDown women’s scene, it’s worth breaking down who’s realistically positioned to take the gold next.

Becky Lynch remains the most persistent thorn in Morgan’s side. Since returning after SummerSlam 2026, Lynch has made no secret of her disdain for how Morgan has carried the championship, going so far as to serve as special guest referee and help Stephanie Vaquer pry the title away from Morgan at a WWE live event in Santiago, Chile, on September 12. Morgan regained the belt in a triple threat against Lynch and Vaquer at Money in the Bank, and Lynch came up short again in a singles match against Morgan on the October 26 episode of Raw. Lynch’s dogged pursuit suggests WWE isn’t done with this rivalry, even if the finish line keeps moving.

Vaquer herself can’t be counted out. Her brief reign after that Chile victory ended at Money in the Bank, and she hasn’t been medically cleared to compete since. Whenever she does return, a third run with the title feels like a natural story to tell, especially given how her first two reigns were tied directly to the Lynch-Morgan dynamic.

Then there’s the new blood. Lola Vice has carried over the momentum she built as a standout — and former Women’s Champion — in NXT into a strong start on Raw’s main roster. A title shot and a win over Morgan would be an obvious way to validate that push and signal WWE sees her as a long-term fixture in the title picture.

Bayley, meanwhile, is overdue for another run at a world championship after more than two years away from that level of gold. Her October 26 No Disqualification win over Lyra Valkyria closed the book on that feud and conveniently opened the door for Bayley to pivot toward Morgan next.

But the most immediate threat might be Tiffany Stratton, who is still sitting on the Women’s Money in the Bank contract after winning the ladder match over Lash Legend, Jacy Jayne, Lola Vice, Sol Ruca and Roxanne Perez. Stratton has been visibly teasing a cash-in on Morgan, doing so on both the October 23 SmackDown and the October 26 Raw. A contract that valuable rarely sits unused for long, and the teasing alone suggests WWE is building toward Stratton making her move sooner rather than later.

With Lynch circling, Vaquer waiting in the wings, Vice on the rise, Bayley hungry for redemption and Stratton holding a loaded weapon, Morgan’s fourth reign looks far from safe. The only real question is which of these stories WWE decides to pull the trigger on first.
