Lynch made a tribute to Thomas Shelby of Peaky Blinders, and Morgan’s attire was a tribute to Britney Spears from her music video. Lynch and Morgan didn’t waste time trying to find each other’s weak spots. For Morgan, it would be her arm, which The Man was able to lock into the DisArm-her. Dominik Mysterio appeared at ringside while the match continued, with both women pushing themselves. Ahead of the match, he made it clear he was there to ensure Morgan didn’t win the title. Unfortunately, his interference did just that, and with the referee distracted, Morgan was able to win. Morgan is the new WWE Women’s World Champion.
