WWE legend Booker T feels that Liv Morgan's hard work starts now as she has to prove herself as a fan-favorite champion.
Morgan won the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday and cashed in her contract on SmackDown Women's Champion Ronda Rousey later that night. She won the match via roll-up and captured her first title in the company.
On his Hall of Fame show, Booker T spoke about Liv Morgan's victories at Money in the Bank. The legend feels that the new champion is in a "make it or break it" position as she has to prove herself to be worthy.
"Liv, right now, she's in a make it or break it position. It's going to be all on her now. It's all about, 'What have you done for me lately?' Winning the Money in the Bank and cashing in and all of that, that's fine. But, going out there and performing on a weekly basis and being the champion, this is where the rubber meets the road for Liv Morgan. We're going to find out what Liv Morgan is made of going forward," said Booker T. [From 22:10 to 22:45]
