Coming off her golden year in 2022, Liv Morgan also started 2023 with a bang by pulling off a record-setting performance at the women’s Royal Rumble match. Starting from the number-two spot, she was the final elimination of the match, the eventual winner and number-one seed Rhea Ripley after lasting in the match for over an hour. Many thought she winning that Rumble if not Asuka’s green mist would have come the way.
Liv Morgan’s SmackDown Women’s Championship run from 2022 should still be a fresh experience for her global fanbase. On the same night of the 2022 Money in the Bank PLE, she won the titular ladder match to earn a championship contract which she exercised on Ronda Rousey and pin her to become the new champion. Then she defended the title against Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler to solidify her strong status.

In fact, there was a point when Liv Morgan thought that her WWE career was about to be over. During a conversation with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character Podcast, the former Smackdown Women’s Champion stated that she regrets for not being confident enough, six years ago. Back on NXT, she feared getting released from the company.
“I remember there being points in NXT where I was like, ‘I’m getting fired. I am gonna lose my job tomorrow’ and really believing that and crying myself to sleep because I thought when I showed up to work the next day, I was gonna be fired and so I feel like in that moment in time — this was so long ago. This is like six years ago,” Liv Morgan remembered.
“I had so many regrets, even though nothing had happened yet but I was like, I wish I’d worked harder, I wish I utilized this more, I wish I wasn’t scared.”
Liv Morgan eventually has overcome her fears on her way to becoming one of the most popular superstars of the female roster. After having a solo stint as the blue brand women’s champion, she was inserted into the tag team division of the WWE. Following Wrestlemania 39, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships by defeating Becky Lynch and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus.
