This upcoming weekend, 2026 Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan will challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship on night one of WrestleMania 42. Saturday will officially mark Morgan’s eighth WrestleMania, and after dealing with a major shoulder injury this past summer, she explained to Chris Van Vliet during an interview on “Insight” that she’s focused on being in the present moment and isn’t anxious about her match with Vaquer just yet. 

“Iconic. We’re just going and we’re just getting better matches every single year … I feel like since I’ve come back from my injury, I’m very much just trying to just stay in the moment and be present. Obviously, WrestleMania is heavy on my mind, but I’m not feeling any anxiety or pressure yet. I’m just kind of taking everything day by day and just preparing as best as I can. So, no, I don’t feel pressure right now in this moment.”

Although she’s not feeling anxious about WrestleMania 42 yet, Morgan says the nerves usually kick in the day of the event and revealed that she suffers with performance anxiety, stating she sometimes vomits before certain matches. On average, Morgan estimated that she can be seen throwing up right before a match four out of seven times. Last Monday on “WWE Raw,” Morgan luckily avoided another serious injury during a backstage angle, but was reportedly put in concussion protocol after the show.

WrestleMania week has finally arrived, and with all the matches set for each night, there’s not much left to speculate on. But one thing fans always gravitate towards is the look of WrestleMania each year, particularly the ring, ramp, and stage setup, and how long it takes for WWE production to put the whole thing together. And interestingly enough, it seems production will have a little less time to work their magic this year than previous years.

PWInsider reports that the WWE production team began their work on the WrestleMania setup at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday evening, only a week before the second night of the “showcase of the immortals” takes place. If that seems later than usual, that’s because it is, with the setup being delayed by a few days due to Allegiant Stadium hosting the kickoff of Bruno Mars’ “The Romantic Tour” on Friday and Saturday.

Despite the delay, there are no indications that WWE production won’t be able to get the WrestleMania setup done with several days to spare. However, it may prove to be a tougher than usual work week for the crew, as it was indicated that the production team would be working long hours in order to get things done.

While the WrestleMania setup may be a more pressing concern, WWE is doing everything they can to let people know they’re in town, especially as the promotion continues to grapple with lower than expected ticket sales. One such thing they’ve done is put a large WWE Championship belt on display in the baggage area of Las Vegas’ Harry Reid Airport, which is also being used to greet fans who are coming to town for one, or both, Mania nights.

Growing up together in Canada’s Ontario province, Adam “Edge” Copeland and Christian Cage have been best friends for decades and have had the rare opportunity to build their careers in pro wrestling together. Copeland and Cage are reunited in AEW despite the differences in their onscreen characters, which Copeland recently commented on during an interview with TVInsider.

“We’re totally different people and different characters compared to what we were then. This version of us is navigating from a different place; I think that is a good thing,” Copeland said. The wrestler stated that he and Cage wanted to avoid giving fans a version of their “greatest hits” from the past, and that they wanted to stay true to what they’d been doing in the promotion before their reunion. “Neither one of us wanted Christian to lose the element of what has made his character so popular.”

Since their WWE history is well-known among fans, Copeland was adamant about providing something fresh with this run, and part of that is presenting the two on the same footing. “I think we’re also in a place where we’ve always looked at each other as equals, but this company does that,” Copeland stated, referring to WWE’s treatment of Cage in the past. “We still come out to separate music because people react to both.”

The veteran also revealed that he’s been going around as “Cope” because “C&C” sounds better than “C&AC” and that fans will eventually see the method to their madness. “Now you get to see all these steps we put in place a while ago come into play.”

This past weekend at AEW Dynasty, Cage & Cope attempted to win the World Tag Team Championship from FTR but came up short, putting the two teams at 1-1 in the promotion.

“Cherry lips and bad energy.” Liv Morgan is spelling out what lies ahead in the forecast for Stephanie Vaquer, with her first-ever music video, “Trouble.”

Last Monday on “WWE Raw,” a tease of the video was aired for a few seconds without any indication or context. Now, all eyes are on the former two-time WWE Women’s World Champion, with 51,126 views in the first hour of its release Monday afternoon. From a parking garage dance scene or two that turns into a ground and pound, to setting a car on fire, all while calmly getting a lower back tattoo ahead of being hauled away by the police, Morgan is ready for her troubling ways to hit the big time on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” in Las Vegas.

The 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble victor chose Vaquer on the February 23 edition of “Raw,” after “La Primera” interrupted a sit-down interview Morgan had prior. The current champion told Morgan, in Spanish, words to the effect that she would show her what a real champion looks like, indicating that Morgan’s title reigns didn’t hold the same weight, recognition, blood, sweat, tears, and hard work that Vaquer’s has. Rather than say who she was going to pick, Morgan clocked Vaquer in the face, solidifying her decision of choosing her.

Both women have been at each other’s throats since that initial beatdown, with Vaquer getting her receipt on Morgan and Roxanne Perez this past Monday. They were left with two visibly big goose egg head bumps. Morgan and Vaquer’s highly personal showdown will be held on Saturday, as Night One of this weekend’s WrestleMania 42 card.
