Liv Morgan defends the Women's World Championship against Becky Lynch at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28. It will be the latest chapter in a rivalry that started with Morgan's very first night on the main roster and has gone through two Raw Women's Championship matches, two of Morgan's title wins and three different tag team title changes.

Here is every big moment between them, and how their one-on-one record stands going into Survivor Series.

Head-to-head record

Counting their televised singles matches on Raw and Premium Live Events, Lynch leads 4–2, with one no contest. The full list is below. Wrestling Inc counts a 5–2–1 record for Lynch, which suggests a non-televised match we have not included.

Match results checked against the Cagematch database.

2017: where it started

Morgan's main roster debut came on the November 21, 2017 SmackDown, when she, Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan arrived as The Riott Squad and attacked Lynch and Naomi. Through 2018 and into 2019, Lynch and The Riott Squad met several times in six-woman tag matches.

2021 and 2022: Morgan's first title shots

Morgan won a five-way match on the November 8, 2021 Raw to earn a shot at Lynch's Raw Women's Championship. Lynch was the cocky champion at the time, and Morgan was the underdog the crowd wanted to see win.

Lynch beat her twice. The first match, on the December 6 Raw, ended with Lynch cheating to win, which set up a rematch at Day 1 on January 1, 2022. Lynch won that one clean, but Morgan came out of it looking like a real contender.

2023: the tag titles

On the April 10, 2023 Raw, Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez beat Lynch and Trish Stratus to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. It was Morgan's first title win with Rodriguez, a partnership that is still central to her story today.

2024: Morgan finally wins

Lynch won the Elimination Chamber in February 2024, and Morgan was the last woman she eliminated. Lynch also beat Morgan in singles on the March 11 Raw.

That changed at King and Queen of the Ring on May 25, 2024. Morgan, whose attack on Rhea Ripley in April had forced Ripley to give up the title, beat Lynch for the Women's World Championship after accidental interference from Dominik Mysterio. Two nights later, Morgan beat Lynch again in a steel cage match on Raw, with Dominik getting involved by accident once more. Morgan then kissed Dominik after the match, the start of her long Judgment Day storyline.

2025: WrestleMania and a quick title swap

The two met again in tag matches at WrestleMania 41. On Night 2, Lynch and Lyra Valkyria beat Morgan and Rodriguez for the Women's Tag Team Championship. The next night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez won the titles back.

2026: the road to Survivor Series

Their current rivalry began in October. A No. 1 contender's match between them on the October 5 Raw ended in a no contest when Stephanie Vaquer attacked both of them. That led to a triple threat at Money in the Bank on October 10, where Morgan pinned Vaquer to win the Women's World Championship.

With Vaquer not medically cleared, Lynch got the title shot on the October 26 Raw and won by disqualification after Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez attacked her, so Morgan kept the title. On the November 9 Raw, Lynch came back as IYO SKY's tag partner, called Morgan out, and Adam Pearce made the Survivor Series match official.

What to expect at Survivor Series

  • The Judgment Day factor: every time Morgan has beaten Lynch one-on-one, someone from her side has been involved. Rodriguez faces IYO SKY for the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the November 16 Raw, which could decide who is at ringside.
  • Lynch's record: she has never lost a singles match to Morgan without someone getting involved.
  • Morgan's form: she lost to Chelsea Green at Crown Jewel on November 7, so she comes in needing a big win.

Our take

Lynch has the stronger record, but Morgan has the more important wins. Both of her singles victories came with the title on the line, and she has built her best run around finding a way to win with help. That makes the result hard to call. If WWE wants Lynch to finally get a clean win over a Morgan who has The Judgment Day behind her, Survivor Series is the place. If Morgan wins again, it will likely be because her group finds another way in.
