10 Things You Didn't Know About Liv Morgan

10. Watching Wrestling Was A Childhood Luxury

Liv grew up as one of six children. Her father died when she was only young, and that meant her brave mother had to raise Morgan, her four older brothers and another sister all on her own. Material wealth, according to comments Liv made during an interview with WWE.com, was never a priority, and the family didn't have many "nice things".

That made pro wrestling a rare luxury.

Liv's mother did scramble together enough money to pay for cable TV, meaning Morgan and her siblings could watch WWE every week. It didn't take long for the impressionable girl to find her heroes; one of them was John Cena, a guy Liv later admitted she had a childlike crush on.

When she wasn't fawning over Cena's rebellious bad boy rapping, Liv was finding solace and kinship in a woman who'd held reshape how the business looked at female wrestlers. That woman would go on to become a peer years later.
