Liv Morgan retained the WWE Women’s World Championship on the October 26, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw, surviving a chaotic main event against Becky Lynch that also saw Tiffany Stratton come close to cashing in her Money in the Bank contract. According to reports from POST Wrestling, WrestleZone and 411Mania, Morgan walked out of the show still holding the title, but only after a wild sequence of interference and sketchy tactics left the finish shrouded in confusion.
The title match between Morgan and Lynch had been positioned as the show’s main event, but it unraveled into disorder once multiple superstars became involved. WrestleZone reported that the bout “ended in chaos, with multiple superstars interfering,” while Stratton made what was described as another attempt to cash in her Money in the Bank contract during the confusion. Despite the madness surrounding the finish, no championship change occurred by the time the show went off the air.
This marks at least the second notable occasion referenced in the reporting where Stratton has moved toward a potential cash-in attempt only to have it disrupted or abandoned before completion. WrestleZone’s framing of the moment as “another near-MITB cash-in” suggests this was not an isolated flirtation with the briefcase, though the sources do not detail the specific circumstances of any prior attempt beyond confirming a pattern of near-misses.
POST Wrestling characterized Morgan’s survival as coming “through sketchy tactics,” indicating that her path to retaining the title was not a clean victory but one aided by the disorder of the match itself. The involvement of other superstars, not specified by name in the available reporting, appears to have played a direct role in preventing both Lynch from capturing the title and Stratton from successfully cashing in.
With the Women’s World Championship remaining around Morgan’s waist, the unresolved nature of the Raw main event leaves open the possibility of further confrontations involving Lynch and Stratton. Stratton’s Money in the Bank contract remains unused following the Raw broadcast, meaning the title remains a target for a cash-in attempt at a time of her choosing. The chaotic nature of the finish, as described across the three outlets, suggests WWE may look to revisit the situation in the championship picture in the weeks following the October 26 broadcast.
