Liv Morgan has her sights set on regaining the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Liv Morgan went down with an injury on the May 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, so she and Raquel Rodriguez were forced to vacate the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler won the vacant titles on the May 29 episode of WWE Raw. On the June 23 episode of WWE SmackDown, the duo defeated Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre to unify the WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Tema Championship. Morgan returned after the bout, as she and Rodriguez confronted the champions.

In a SmackDown Exclusive, Morgan was asked to describe how she felt following her return. She noted that she felt like she was home, and she worked hard to come back as soon as she could. Rodriguez chimed in by noting that it was bittersweet to see Rousey and Baszler win the gold.

Liv Morgan: It feels like I’m home. I don’t know what to say. I worked so hard to come back as soon as I can so that we can back our championships that we never lost. My shoulder’s doing great, by the way.

Raquel Rodriguez: We were really hoping that Isla and Alba would win, but I think it just makes it a little bit more bittersweet that Ronda and Shayna are holding the titles that we never lost.

Morgan then pointed out that it would be remarkable if she and Raquel defeated Rousey and Baszler, as she would become the only person in the world to beat Ronda three times. Rodriguez stated that this milestone would be one for the books.

LM: You know what’s funny about that, though, is that when we beat them and win the titles, I’m gonna be the only person in the world to defeat Ronda Rousey three times.

RR: That’s a record, put it in the books.

LM: Guinness? Hello Guinness. Where are you?
