Morgan defeated Vaquer with the help of Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez to become a three-time holder of the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42. Perez and Rodriguez provided the outside interference Morgan needed to take advantage of Vaquer.

As Morgan, Perez and Rodriguez were outside of the ring, Vaquer hit a springboard crossbody. But she was only able to take out Perez and Rodriguez. Morgan went on the attack from there.
