Liv Morgan is WWE’s most unpredictable star, and it’s paying off!

Liv Morgan, one of the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, has embraced a darker, aggressive persona, seizing titles and wrecking lives. Once an underdog, she’s now a formidable force, having taken out Rhea Ripley and entangled Dominik Mysterio in her chaos. Her rise, marked by bold moves and audience antagonism, sets her apart in WWE, but staying on top remains the challenge.

Liv Morgan isn’t just another WWE champion. She’s a problem. The kind that makes crowds boo louder, the kind that hijacks segments, the kind that gets exactly what she wants—even if it means wrecking the lives of everyone around her. The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is running strong, and there’s no end in sight.
She’s done waiting for WWE to believe in her. They gave her a couple of runs as a babyface, but let’s be real—those weren’t it. The crowd wanted to root for her, but it never felt real. She’d climb, she’d fall, rinse, repeat. WWE had her play the underdog so long, people forgot she could bite back. Now? She’s all bite. No leash.
The second she got back from injury, Liv Morgan went after Rhea Ripley. She didn’t even wait for a match—just took a steel chair, went backstage, and wrecked her. A few months later, Ripley was injured for real and forced to vacate the Women’s World Championship. Morgan took the title for herself. And now she’s spending every week making Dominik Mysterio’s life hell while Judgment Day watches in horror.
This isn’t the Liv Morgan WWE tried to build. This is the one she built herself.

Liv Morgan’s rise to the top of WWE started in backyard rings and a Hooters restaurant. He had connections. And when WWE didn’t have an open tryout, he got them to fly her out anyway.
Liv Morgan signed in 2014 and started training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. It wasn’t pretty.
Her first big moment in NXT wasn’t even in the ring—it was as a planted fan at NXT TakeOver: Rival, jumping Tyler Breeze during his entrance. She wrestled a few months later under the name “Marley” and got squashed by Eva Marie. She was bad. She knew it. "It was hard; it was much harder than I thought. I was bad for a very, very, very long time."
She kept losing. Then she rebranded as Liv Morgan and started losing under a different name. WWE didn’t see her as a star. She was just there. She got her first televised win nearly a year later against Aliyah, but by then, everyone already knew what came next—call-ups were happening, and she wasn’t on the list.
Then WWE did what WWE does. They threw her into a faction.

The Riott Squad, the failed singles push, and why WWE kept trying to make Liv Morgan happen, Naomi, Charlotte Flair, and Natalya, making it clear they weren’t just filler.
The chemistry kept them together longer than planned. Ruby Riott later admitted that WWE never had a long-term plan for them, but Vince McMahon liked the energy. That’s all it took. They lasted until 2019 before WWE split them, and just like that, Morgan was on her own.
WWE tried, They gave her video vignettes. They teased a new character. They had her interrupt Lana and Bobby Lashley’s wedding to say she’d been having an affair with Lana. And then? Nothing.
Rusev (now AEW’s Miro) later revealed that WWE only wrote the segment for one moment—to get a reaction. No long-term story. No follow-up. Just shock value.
After that? WWE threw her back with Ruby Riott and called it The Riott Squad again. It lasted a year before WWE fired Riott.
Morgan was alone again, but this time, WWE actually pulled the trigger.
She won Money in the Bank in 2022. Cashed in the same night. Beat Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. It was a huge moment. But the reign itself? A mess.
WWE booked her weak. At SummerSlam, she technically tapped to Ronda Rousey’s armbar, but the ref counted Rousey’s shoulders down. The crowd turned on her. By Extreme Rules, Rousey took the belt back.
She pivoted to tag teams, won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Raquel Rodriguez (twice), got injured (twice), and disappeared.
Then she came back. And everything changed.

Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and why WWE’s most chaotic duo is impossible to ignore

Liv Morgan’s return at the 2024 Royal Rumble was big. She entered last at No. 30, made it to the final two, and lost to Bayley. Then she lost again at Elimination Chamber, eating the pin from Becky Lynch.
But instead of fading back into the background, she did something WWE didn’t expect—she made herself the story.
She went after Rhea Ripley. No match. No buildup. Just a steel chair and an injury that ended up being very real. Ripley had to vacate the Women’s World Championship, and when WWE booked a battle royal for the vacant title, Morgan almost won—but Lynch got her again.
Then King & Queen of the Ring happened. Dominik Mysterio “accidentally” helped Liv Morgan win. Suddenly, she was Women’s World Champion.
Since then? She’s been wrecking Mysterio’s life.
She kissed him after he cost Becky Lynch a rematch. She stole his vest. She gave him a hotel room key. Judgment Day is losing their minds. Mysterio looks like he’s trying to resist, but is he? Or is WWE slowly setting up the biggest betrayal in months?
The best part? Nobody knows.
What’s clear is that WWE has found something that works with Liv Morgan. The audience hates her. She’s getting booed louder than most top heels. Her pairing with Dominik Mysterio is getting more heat than half of Judgment Day.
It took a decade, but Liv Morgan finally figured out how to thrive in WWE.
