Liv Morgan Comments on Her 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Victory

As noted before, Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble 2026 event in Saudi Arabia featured Liv Morgan being the winner of this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match.

A recent episode of the WWE Rumble Recap podcast featured Morgan as one of the guests. One of the topics discussed included Morgan’s thoughts about her winning the Women’s Royal Rumble match for the first time in her WWE career.

“Words can’t describe. Words can’t describe how it feels. I’ve done nine of these. I’ve had every position in this match. I’ve started it. I’ve ended it. I’ve had the record for the fastest elimination. I’ve shared a record for being in the ring the longest. I’ve had every position. Runner-up, but never a winner until tonight. So it feels exactly like how I thought it would.”

Morgan also gave her thoughts about how she had envisioned winning the Women’s Royal Rumble since her first time competing in the match in 2018.

“My very first one, nine years ago. No joke. Maybe I was a little bit delusional thinking that in my rookie year, I’d win the Royal Rumble. But for nine whole years, every time it’s Rumble season, I’ve sat and envisioned and manifested what this victory would look and feel and taste like, and now that we’re here, it’s honestly so much better and sweeter than I could have ever imagined.”
