Liv Morgan denied she is cursed after losing the Queen of the Ring tournament final to IYO SKY at Night of Champions 2026 [1].
The incident highlights a rare intersection of supernatural storytelling and high-stakes competition within the WWE, affecting the momentum of the current Women's World Champion.
The defeat occurred during the Night of Champions event held in 2026 [1]. Before the final match, wrestler Danhausen placed a curse on Morgan [2]. This interaction preceded the tournament final where IYO SKY emerged as the winner, defeating Morgan to claim the title of Queen of the Ring [2].
Following the match, Morgan appeared frazzled while addressing the situation [3]. Despite the timing of the loss and the preceding events with Danhausen, Morgan said she is not cursed [3].
The loss marks a significant setback for Morgan in her pursuit of tournament glory, though she maintains her status as the Women's World Champion. The result establishes IYO SKY as the premier competitor of the tournament, adding a new layer of rivalry between the two athletes—one fueled by athletic competition and the other by the perceived influence of Danhausen's curse [1].
While Morgan continues to deny the supernatural cause of her defeat, the narrative surrounding the match has centered on whether the curse played a role in the outcome [2]. The event has drawn attention to Danhausen's role as a disruptor within the women's division during the 2026 [1] calendar year.
