WWE News RoundUp: Details on Jimmy Uso’s arrest and backstage reaction, 13-time champion shares video featuring AEW star, SmackDown Superstar takes shots at Zelina Vega (July 7th, 2021)

#3 Liv Morgan takes shots at Zelina Vega after her return on WWE SmackDown

Both superstars are expected to kickstart a brutal feud on WWE SmackDown

Zelina Vega made a surprise return on WWE SmackDown last week. She was immediately named as one of the contenders for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match. In her first match back on WWE television, she faced Liv Morgan. The latter picked up a surprise roll-up victory in an attempt to prove herself ahead of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

I’m one of the most talked about and popular female competitors in @WWE history. This was all @WWELadyRefJess ‘s fault. She distracted me and @YaOnlyLivvOnce took advantage. She’s desperate and everyone knows it. @CarmellaWWE and I were put in that spot bcz we deserve it. Period. https://t.co/XzDzKBXXD6

Despite winning, Morgan still couldn’t qualify for the Money in the Bank match, which prompted Vega to poke fun at the WWE SmackDown Superstar. She photoshopped Morgan’s face on a packet of diapers and labeled her as a “crybaby”:

“LIV and learn and then get Luvs for the cry babies who aren’t in the MITB ladder match,” said Zelina Vega.

Soon after that, Morgan responded by saying that Vega picked up a new skill in the time that she was away – referring to her WWE release last year.

"I’m glad u picked up a new skill while u were away," said Liv Morgan.

Zelina Vega was released due to her differences with WWE over superstars’ appearances on third-party apps like Twitch. Soon after her return, Vega also deleted the previous tweets that she had posted after leaving the company.
