Wow, could you feel how personal the feud between Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan has become?

Us neither.

Morgan did a backstage interview where she talked about how excited she was to see Ruby return from injury a few weeks ago, only for Riott to turn on Liv and betray her trust. Considering they were running buddies in the same clique, you’d think this would be dripping with emotion, but it sounded like Liv was reading her lines off a card just off-camera.

It was bad – almost as if Morgan had just gotten her lines 30 seconds before the cameras started rolling and she was reciting them for the first time. That’s a surefire way to make fans not care about a feud.
