Liv Morgan has been training MMA moves ahead of her title defence against Shayna Baszler at Saturday's Clash at the Castle and is warning her opponent that she might have something new up her sleeve.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at the press launch for WWE's first UK stadium pay per view event in thirty years, Morgan said she was expecting a tough match against The Queen of Spades but no-one should underestimate her.
She told us: "I am ready and fully prepared to get my butt kicked and it's okay. I am the only woman in WWE to beat Ronda Rousey twice and she is considered the best of the best. I'm not taking Shayna Baszler lightly, but as I said Rhonda is considered the best of the best and Shayna is not Rhonda.
"I've spent some time with Matt Riddle, and he's given me some tips and tricks on how to defend myself against Shayna whether it be her arm bar or her rear naked choke. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that she's not expecting."

Former UFC star and MMA specialist Riddle is taking on Seth Rollins in another hotly anticipated match on the card while Edge and Rey Mysterio team up against Judgment Day's Finn Balor and Damian Priest, with Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley in their respective corners.
Morgan was speaking as tens of thousands of fans from across Europe descended on the Welsh capital ahead of Saturday's live event with a series of free and complementary events taking place across the city.
