The first big move came from Morgan with a springboard sunset-flip-type Powerbomb.

She followed it with a Three Amigos, as she played to the crowd. Speaking of the crowd they remained spoiled, when Vaquer quickly followed up Morgan's offense with a Devil's Kiss — then a suplex-Codoebreaker, if you will. They were working with every move they could think of.Oblivion by @Steph_Vaquer 😱Stream #WrestleMania LIVE RIGHT NOW on the @ESPN app!➡️ https://t.co/jKAIj8nxxtpic.twitter.com/fa7MCqGlP4— WWE (@WWE) April 19, 2026Morgan went on to find a Backstabber, then tease a Devil's Kiss theft, only to get hit with a nasty Backbreaker after a roll-up pin attempt from Vaquer.

The champion followed suit, regarding Morgan's move theft, and landed the Oblivion. That set up a potential Vaquer's Inferno — the Corkscrew Splash. But, of course, The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez interfered, helping Morgan hit an Oblivion.

Vaquer survived it, eliciting a scream from the challenger. Vaquer began fighting off the other Judgment Day members on the apron, which led to Morgan accidentally diving out onto Rodriguez. A Vaquer springboard Cross-Body landed to both on the outside, before Morgan fought back to land a diving Codebreaker and Oblivion for the win.LIV MORGAN IS THE NEW WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPION!!! @YaOnlyLivvOnceStream #WrestleMania LIVE RIGHT NOW on the @ESPN app!➡️ https://t.co/jKAIj8nxxtpic.twitter.com/Dr9JlfEZdH— WWE (@WWE) April 19, 2026The Judgment Day remains superior without JD McDonagh or Finn Balor in sight.
