Liv Morgan returned to the top of the WWE Women’s Division at WrestleMania 42 when she dispatched Stephanie Vaquer to regain the World Women’s Championship.
Now she has her sights set on SummerSlam, which will take place on August 1st and 2nd in Minneapolis at US Bank Stadium. This is the second time that the premium live event will be over two nights.

Last year, the event took place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. A New Jersey native herself, Morgan suggested to Pakinomist Digital that she was a little bummed to have missed the event. She suffered a legitimate shoulder injury in April 2025 and did not return to WWE programming until Survivor Series: WarGames in November.
“Honestly, I can’t even express to you how sad and disappointing it was to miss SummerSlam in my hometown… But yeah, I was very excited to appear at SummerSlam in pretty much my hometown. Unfortunately, I missed something. So this year I’m going to more than make up for it,” she said.

Morgan’s opponent has yet to be determined as storylines will converge for the star-studded summer event. She has appeared in two SummerSlam events during her career and has come out on top in both of them.
“I didn’t even realize that, so thanks for the fun little fact,” she said. “I think I’m super confident going into SummerSlam. I don’t know what this year has in store for me.
“But I’m very excited for SummerSlam and I hope to be able to defend my World Women’s Championship.”
While Minnesota is mostly known for its cold and frigid weather most of the year, Morgan promised that SummerSlam would help turn up the heat.

“SummerSlam is WWE’s second biggest event of the year,” she told Pakinomist Digital. “It’s the biggest party of the summer. So you can expect a lot of fun. A lot of mayhem. You can expect me, which is probably the best part.”
