Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez discuss winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Morgan and Rodriguez won the titles on the April 10 episode of WWE RAW, where they defeated Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch. The division has often been criticized for the way it has been booked, as it has featured thrown-together teams that often split up.
Speaking on WWE After The Bell with Corey Graves, Rodriguez and Morgan were asked about how important it is for them to build up the division.
“I think it’s so important for us to establish it because I think, to both of us, this means so much,” Rodriguez said. “A WWE title, especially a women’s title, is so prestigious, and we both hold it to a standard that is just above every level. So to be able to call ourselves champions and to be a team, we really want to show the WWE Universe how prestigious these titles are.”
Morgan then described how there have been ebbs and flows with the titles, but she’s all in on her team with Rodriguez. She stated that they are both determined to show everyone that the titles are stable and consistent.
“These are not new titles at this point, but they were introduced as a new championship,” Morgan said. “So I think there’s ebbs and flows and trials and errors, but I would love for the tag division to be more consistent and more stable. That’s exactly what Raquel and I are aiming to do. I am 100% all in on Raquel and making our team work, and making sure that we are reigning and defending champions. I know that’s a cliche, everyone wants to be a defending champion, but for the women and for these titles specifically, it’s important that they have a home that is ready to go every single week.
“We have been going to both shows since after WrestleMania, and that’s not anything that we do begrudgingly. We are so prepared and proud and ready, even if we’re tired, to do what we have to do to show the WWE Universe that these are stable, and these are consistent, and they have found a home with Raquel and I, and we are honored to be the champions. We want to represent that to the best of our ability.”
As of this writing, Morgan and Rodriguez have not been selected in the 2023 WWE Draft, which will continue on the May 1 episode of WWE RAW. WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE RAW as it airs on Monday.
