It’s very likely that many of you are scratching your heads and saying to yourselves, “Who is Liv Morgan?”
It’s understandable to feel that way because just as Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte made their main roster debuts last year, their spots in NXT opened up and gave someone like Liv Morgan a chance to shine in WWE developmental.
WWE.com did an exclusive interview with her about her career, being in NXT, and what made her want to be a wrestler in the first place. The interview severed as a “getting to know you” kind of introduction to her. You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights:
What kind of wrestling fan is she?
“We dug four poles into the ground and put lawn chairs in front of them for buckles. We tied three pieces of industrial rope around the corners, and the only mat we had was a stacked-up pile of lawn chair cushions. When we finished, we thought it was the most awesome thing ever, and my house instantly became the after-school spot for all of my brothers’ friends. I would literally take Pedigrees and powerbombs like it was my job. I always pretended to be Lita. All the Divas were so glamorous and girly, and I was such a tomboy and didn’t have nice clothes. When I saw Lita come out in baggy pants and sneakers, wrestling the boys, I thought she was the coolest thing ever. I related to her and thought she could be my friend.”
What does she think of the Divas Revolution?
“Seeing the spotlight on all the women in the company is empowering,” she said. “Not only girls want to see the women wrestle, but men want to, as well. The fact that Bayley vs. Sasha Banks in [TakeOver:] Brooklyn was acknowledged as NXT’s Match of the Year is just as telling as what the female talent is capable of, and I cannot wait to be a part of it.”
