JUST IN: WWE'S LIV MORGAN SHARES HEARTBREAKING CHILDHOOD STORY AFTER MASSIVE RAW WIN
Liv Morgan gets emotional on “What’s Your Story?” discussing her father’s death and her promise to save her family through WWE.
Liv Morgan, one of WWE RAW’s biggest stars, got emotional recently as she talked about a painful chapter from her childhood.
She’s come a long way since she signed with WWE back in 2014. After a stint in NXT, she landed on the main roster as part of The Riott Squad in late 2017. Fast forward to July 2022—Liv pulled off a career-defining moment by winning the Money in the Bank contract and cashing in on Ronda Rousey to grab the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
In 2024, everything just clicked for her. She took down Becky Lynch in a heated rivalry and didn’t slow down—she went toe-to-toe with Rhea Ripley, stole Dominik Mysterio, and took Mami’s spot in The Judgment Day. Right now, Liv’s clearly at the top of WWE’s women’s division.
But behind the spotlight, there’s a lot more to Liv’s story. On “What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon, she opened up about her father’s death—a moment that happened right before she was born. Her dad had a heart attack at the kitchen table, and the whole family witnessed it. Liv broke down as she described it. The trauma hit her mom and siblings hard, and she said it took years for anyone in her family to feel okay again.
“My father passed away before I was born. He had a heart attack at the kitchen table, with my whole family watching. So you can imagine the effects it had on my mother, brother, and sisters, watching our father pass. And so I think everyone was very traumatised by that, and it took—it was years of destruction and chaos before I felt like anyone could find peace,” Liv said.
She also remembered the first time she saw WWE on TV. Something just clicked. She knew—right then—that this was her path, and she wanted to save her family.
“I remember the first time I watched WWE. I don’t know what it was, but I had such a clear sense of—this is what I’m going to do, and I’m going to save my family,” she said.
These days, Liv’s balancing her wrestling career with new adventures in film and TV. And with a possible Women’s World Championship match against Stephanie Vaquer coming up, her story is far from finished.
THE SHIELD FACTOR: WHY SETH ROLLINS BELIEVES SPLITTING THE TEAM SAVED THREE LEGENDARY CAREERS
Is the Shield reuniting? Seth Rollins shuts down fans as Roman Reigns prepares to battle CM Punk at WrestleMania 2026.
Seth Rollins has always been a lightning rod in wrestling, and he still feels the fallout from breaking up The Shield. Back in June 2014, he took everyone by surprise; he just turned on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose with a steel chair, siding with Triple H and The Authority. That moment didn’t just shake up The Shield. It changed wrestling for good.
He talked about it on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe not long ago, saying that one decision flipped the whole industry on its head. The three of them, Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose, had found their groove as a team. But splitting up was the push they all needed. If they’d stayed together, no way would they have become the stars they are now. Still, after all these years, Rollins gets grilled by grown adults! asking him why he did it.
“I still get asked about that. Seriously, it’s been 12 years, and people come up to me and say, ‘Why’d you break up The Shield?’ These are adults! They watched it as teens, sure, but come on. You know it’s not real. Does it really hurt that much? Wow,” he said. He just can’t believe a scripted moment from so long ago still hits people so hard.
No one can argue with what The Shield did for wrestling. All three guys are either holding or chasing world titles in WWE and AEW. Right now, Rollins has his own battles. He’s heading toward WrestleMania 42, but he’s coming off emergency surgery for a hernia, and that’s thrown his plans into chaos. Wrestling Observer Radio even reported that his big match against a returning rival might be off the table.
Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is gearing up for a huge showdown with CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. And with Elimination Chamber coming up in Chicago on February 28, 2026, everyone’s watching the top stars. On the February 16 episode of Raw, Je’Von Evans punched his ticket to the Men’s Elimination Chamber by beating GUNTHER and Dominik Mysterio. Now he’s in there with Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes.
For the women, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Alexa Bliss have already made it in. WWE is feeling the heat about ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium, so they’re leaning hard on the stories and history of their biggest names to pump up excitement for the two-night event in April.
INSIDE LIV MORGAN’S CALCULATED PLAN TO CHOOSE HER WRESTLEMANIA 42 CHAMPIONSHIP OPPONENT
Liv Morgan claims a dream match with AJ Lee would "solve world hunger" as she weighs her WrestleMania 42 title shot options.
Liv Morgan has a wild sense of humour—she actually said that a match between her and AJ Lee would do more than just entertain fans. According to her, it’d solve world hunger. Seriously. In a recent chat with GQ Sports, Liv read a fan comment that said, “Her vs. AJ Lee would feed families,” and she took it even further: “We’d feed more than families. Like, world hunger would not be a thing.” When they asked how she pictured the match ending, Liv didn’t hesitate. “With me winning, obviously. But she’s a feisty one. Still, I’m putting my money on me.”
Fans have been dying to see Liv Morgan vs. AJ Lee ever since AJ returned to WWE last year. There’s a catch, though—rumour has it AJ Lee’s got a different WrestleMania 42 opponent lined up. And Liv? She’ll still be challenging for a Women’s Championship at the big event, but this dream match probably needs a little more time.
Liv’s still weighing her options for WrestleMania 42.
After she won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, Liv told everyone at the PLE post-show that she’s not in a rush to choose her opponent. “I can pick any champion I want, and I don’t want to make some quick decision I regret. I’m taking my time. I’ll decide when it feels right and when I know who’s right.” She doubled down on that on RAW this week, saying she’s even planning to scope out SmackDown to see if she wants to go after Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship.
But if you’re looking for clues, Liv might’ve already dropped one—she ambushed Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer right after Stephanie defended her title against Raquel Rodriguez on RAW. Looks like Liv’s keeping her cards close, but she’s not shy about making a statement.
