Liv Morgan, the reigning Women’s World Champion, recently opened up about a storyline she was involved in that was unfortunately dropped. In December 2019, she was supriseingly revealed as Lana’s on-screen girlfriend during the latter’s wedding to Bobby Lashley on an episode of RAW. Despite the unexpected reveal, the storyline did not progress much and ultimately fizzled out with The All Mighty divorcing Lana before becoming WWE Champion for the first time.
In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Liv Morgan reflected on the storyline, expressing her wish that WWE could have done more with it. When asked if there were any long-term plans for the storyline, Morgan candidly admitted that she had no idea and was genuinely in the dark about the direction the company wanted to take. She said, “I wish we’d done more with it.”
The storyline, which was short-lived, was an opportunity for Morgan to play a significant role on the main roster. At the time, she was still an up-and-coming talent, and the reveal was a major surprise that grabbed the attention of the audience. Despite the storyline’s abrupt end, Morgan’s performance in her role was well-received by fans and critics alike.
One of the highlights of her recent interview was her conversation about sharing the ring with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Morgan referred to it as a “pinch me” moment, stating that she never thought she would be wrestling against the iconic Canadian wrestler. Morgan credited Stratus as an inspiration for her early moveset, which made the experience even more surreal. She shared that when she took a moment to appreciate the situation, it felt like a moment she never thought she would have. Morgan’s excitement and genuine admiration for Stratus were palpable, and it was clear that the experience was a memorable one for her.
Morgan’s reflection on the storyline serves as a reminder that, despite the best efforts of WWE’s writers and performers, not all storylines are created equal. While some may be short-lived or underdeveloped, they can still have a lasting impact on the careers of those involved. Morgan’s ability to look back on the storyline with a sense of wonder and appreciation is a testament to her professionalism and dedication to her craft.
Now, as one of the biggest female stars in the industry, Morgan continues to shine as the Women’s World Champion. With over 180 days under her belt, her reign has been nothing short of impressive. Her dedication to her craft and ability to connect with audiences are just a few reasons why she has become a fan favorite. As she continues to dominate the women’s division, it’s clear that her time as Lana’s on-screen girlfriend may have been a short-lived storyline, but it was an important stepping stone in her journey to becoming a WWE champion.
