She knows that Liv isn’t the only one saying it. It hurts because sometimes she tells herself that too. She says she shows up to work and she fights the urge to doubt herself every time. She knows a WWE champion shouldn’t admit it, but she does. She looks at the title and wonders if she deserves it.
Nick says that you are the champion and you deserve it.
Green says she knows it, but that is not enough. Does her name belong beside all of the women who held this title before? She wants to belong. She wants to leave a real legacy. She needs to beat Liv to do that. If Liv wins, every thing she said and every thing that Green thought is true. If she wins tomorrow, it isn’t a fluke and she deserves to be here. If she beats Liv at Crown Jewel, she cements her place in history and as a true champion.
Liv Morgan interrupts and she makes her way to the ring.
Liv asks if Chelsea is crying and then she chortles. She says we don’t give participation trophies to people. Who did you beat? No one. Rhea got injured and you got lucky. Do you know why these people support you? It isn’t because you are good. They see themselves in you. A talentless person. If I can be in the right place, I can be a winner too. You are not a champion, you are a charity case. Tomorrow night, I get to prove those little voices in your head true, and come out of the ring as a two time Crown Jewel Champion and the greatest women’s champion of all time.
