Trivia / Liv Morgan

Go To

  • Actor-Inspired Element:
    • Her ring gear resembling casual clothes and wrestling in sneakers comes from her preferring casual clothes to dressing up.
    • When she was moved to SmackDown, she was told they wanted a "stripped back" look with less makeup - so she opted to dye her hair back blonde.
  • Breakup Breakout: Of The Riott Squad, Liv ultimately found far more success compared to leader Ruby Riott and especially Sarah Logan. Sarah and Ruby were respectively released by WWE in 2020 and 2021, and Liv found herself challenging for Top Star Becky Lynch for the (Raw) Women's Championship by the end of the latter year. This is ultimately cemented in Money in the Bank 2022 when Liv won the titular briefcase and later cashed in on SmackDown Women's Champion Ronda Rousey to finally get the gold.
  • Dye Hard: She dyed her hair pink in 2018, and then white in 2019.
  • Playing Against Type: She was called up to the main roster as a Heel when she had played a Face the whole time at NXT. She later found success upon returning as a Face, however.
  • Promoted Fanboy: She was previously a Lita fan and says she was constantly backyard wrestling with her brothers.
  • Romance on the Set: It was rumored that she dated Enzo Amore. This was later confirmed, but they split up after he was called up to the main roster. Later, she dated Tyler Bate. She eventually became Bo Dallas's business partner but nothing is confirmed as far as a relationship.
  • Screwed by the Network: She was part of a stable that was rising through the ranks and potentially about to become Women's Tag Team Champions...and she's split from the team and moved to Smackdown. She does nothing for thirteen weeks, and then just has one match against Charlotte Flair that leads to nothing. As shown in the Liv Forever documentary, she was going to be brought back for a dark match against Ember Moon that got cancelled forty-five seconds before it was supposed to happen - with Word of God being that the crowd couldn't see Liv until she was in her "final form". Again, months of nothing, only for her to be traded back to Raw and given a trashy return as Lana's former lover, and then end up back in the original tag team she was split from - rendering the previous year rather pointless.
  • Throw It In!: The blue tongue came about one week when she was sucking a piece of candy before Raw. She noticed that her whole tongue had turned blue and decided to go out on TV with it.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • She initially debuted on TV using the name 'Marley' (in a match against Eva Marie). After a couple of weeks she switched to Liv Morgan.
    • Her documentary Liv Forever details how she pitched loads of potential characters and storylines to creative while she was on Smackdown, but they were shot down.
    • Sami Zayn tweeted that he once pitched for Liv to work with him when he became "The Great Liberator".
