Two WWE Superstars won championship matches at WrestleMania 42 on Saturday night.
Liv Morgan and Roman Reigns won the women’s and men’s Royal Rumble matches respectively and will now be able to make their decisions and choose which championship they will pursue in the next three months.
For Morgan, her win is the culmination of an epic comeback from an injury that kept her out for most of the second half of 2025. She and Raquel Rodriguez captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles on “Monday Night RAW” after WrestleMania 41. But shortly after, Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder. It kept her away for five months until she returned at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Morgan needed to put aside his friendship with Rodriguez to win the Rumble. She eliminated her Doomsday stablemate on her way to victory. Morgan, a returning Tiffany Stratton, and NXT star Sol Ruca were the final three to try to win the match.
Stratton eliminated Ruca, who tried to climb to the top rope for something spectacular. Morgan then hit a modified Oblivion, eliminating Stratton and sealing the victory.
Morgan will face Jade Cargill or Stephanie Vaquer for their titles. However, Vaquer has a title fight against Rodriguez on Monday.

Reigns entered the men’s Royal Rumble at #26 and eliminated five other competitors to win the match. He was in the bottom nine in the match with Logan Paul, Je’Von Evans, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Gunther, Jacob Fatu and Penta.

Drew McIntyre, who defeated Sami Zayn to retain the WWE Undisputed Championship earlier in the night, hit Rhodes with a Claymore as he fought his way back into the ring. Rhodes fell to the canvas and was eliminated. Reigns then took over Fatu when Fatu was distracted by the events between McIntyre and Rhodes.

Reigns took care of Uso after the tag team champion hit the “Tribal Chief” with a spear. It came down to Reigns, Orton, Paul and Gunther, who already defeated AJ Styles earlier in the night and presumably ended their WWE career.
Reigns and Gunther were the last two fighters standing. The two fought fiercely and tried to avoid reviewing as best they could. Reigns threw Gunther to the edge of the ring and attempted the knockout blow, but was countered.
Reigns would eventually hit Gunther with his spear and throw him over the ropes for the win.
It was the second Royal Rumble victory for Reigns.

Reigns will face McIntyre or CM Punk for the titles. Reigns and Punk were in a triple threat against Seth Rollins at last year’s WrestleMania.
