Liv Morgan says she’s entering her prime, ‘no longer happy just to be here’

Liv Morgan says she’s just getting started.

Morgan defends her Women’s World Championship tonight against Zelina Vega on WWE Raw. Viewers may also see the latest development in her ongoing storyline with Dominik Mysterio.

She sat down with SI.com before tonight’s show and told them that the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour of 2024 is exactly what she envisioned during the six months she was out of action with a shoulder injury.

“I really used that time off to focus on what I wanted, what I wanted to do, and what I wanted my career to look like,” said Morgan. “I feel different. I’m no longer just happy to be here. I know I belong.”

Morgan was written off WWE programming on the July 29, 2023 episode of Raw when Ripley wrapped her shoulder in a chair and stomped on it. She wouldn’t return until the women’s Royal Rumble match earlier this year.

“I channeled that for the six months I was out,” said Morgan. “I focused on what I wanted my revenge to look like, and I have executed every step of the way. Before, I thought it was going to be my time–but it wasn’t.”

“I believe in divine timing and I trust the universe. Coming out of the injury on the other side, this is how and when it is supposed to be. This is how my revenge and redemption were intended to take place.”

Morgan’s revenge tour led to her winning the Women’s World Championship from Becky Lynch at King & Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia. She’s also got her sights on winning Dominik away from Ripley.

“This is something I created–that I didn’t feel always had a lot of support behind it–but I stuck it out because I really believed in it,” she continued. “I believed in myself. And when I got this opportunity, because of the time and attention to my craft, I ran with it.”

Morgan’s angle with Dominik produced the highest quarter-hour ratings on last week’s episode of Raw, which averaged 1.8 million viewers with a 0.61 in 18-49.

“It’s been 10 years to get here, and we haven’t even scratched the surface yet,” said Morgan. “This is what I always hoped and dreamed for–and that’s why the time off when I was injured was so significant. It was important for my self-esteem and to re-fall in love with wrestling to come back in my best form.

“I’m just entering my prime. If you don’t believe me, just watch.”
