Former WWE star Matt Morgan has taken to Twitter/X to express his disappointment with two major booking decisions from SummerSlam Night One, targeting the outcomes of Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross and the WWE Womenโ€™s Championship match between Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton.

Morgan, a longtime supporter of Kross, voiced his frustration after the former NXT Champion was defeated cleanly by Sami Zayn during Saturdayโ€™s premium live event. โ€œI say this as a huge Sammy Fan. I donโ€™t understand how WWE continues to beat THE SELF MADE MAN, Karrion Kross! You can hear it when the most beloved babyface in the company pinned him! The fans were not feeling it. No disrespect to Sammy.โ€

While Zayn remains a top-tier babyface, Morgan suggested that Kross, who has rebuilt his momentum multiple times, deserves more consistent protection in major matches.

Morgan also did not hold back when discussing the outcome of the WWE Womenโ€™s Championship match, in which Tiffany Stratton defeated Jade Cargill. โ€œDonโ€™t put Jade Cargill in matches if youโ€™re gonna pin her and not protect her! Tiffy has the most AVERAGE promos of any of the women in that division, respectfully. Sheโ€™s done nothing to grow the title. I think Jade could!!โ€

โ€œThis finish was a mistake. You donโ€™t beat somebody that looks like Jade Cargill! If youโ€™re not ready to go full throttle with her, then donโ€™t book her in matches, if thatโ€™s the outcome!โ€

Morgan acknowledged Cargillโ€™s strong performance but emphasized that visual losses damage her aura as a dominant force in the division.
