Possible reason why Liv Morgan was booked for the 2026 WWE Queen of the Ring tournament

Following the Clash in Italy PLE, WWE revealed the brackets for the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. During the Self Made Sessions, Ibou commented on why Liv Morgan is a participant despite being the women’s world champion…

“I asked about the Liv Morgan thing, and basically the mentality is that what they have planned for her involves Stephanie Vaquer, and Stephanie isn’t ready yet. So when she’s ready, they’ll resume.

My immediate retort was, ‘So why not just come up with something else in the meantime?’ But that’s just not how they operate, for whatever reason. Basically, they’re going to do the next step with Stephanie. Stephanie is hurt, so Liv is just kind of going to exist in the meantime.”
