The Secret WWE History Of Liv Morgan

To call it a disaster would be overstating things slightly, but it was a f*cking lot less than ideal. The wedding segment in general had mostly been a shambles - the sort of thing you forget you miss crowds for because you forget there was even one in attendance for it due to how little they cared.

Thirty long minutes of bad gags and even worse acting weren't made more interesting by Liv's reveal as Lana's old/current flame, and the whole thing was hurriedly dropped during those few weeks in 2020 that weren't absolutely miserable.

It was a rough road back from there, but one Morgan gamely travelled all the same. She lost a colleague and friend when Sarah Logan was unceremoniously sacked in WWE's callous April roster cuts, and seemingly lost what remained of a push despite a decent win over Natalya in an underrated Night Two curtain-raiser. Over the summer, The Riott Squad reformed as a tag team, and were thought of enough to be kept together and moved to A-Show SmackDown in the 2020 Draft. If things aren't exactly on the up, they are at least trending that way.

This is, of course, more of an abridged recent history rather than a secret one, though many would argue that those have been one and the same since she first debuted. A victim of stop-start booking at virtually every point in her run, Morgan's remained tremendously popular online despite a noted lack of creative interest on screen. Her background speaks to how committed she was prepared to be to make it work...
