Liv Morgan Feared Arrest Had Ruined WWE Career

Liv Morgan has opened up about her surprise arrest and how she feared she’d blown her WWE career.

Liv Morgan was arrested in December 2023 in Sumter County, Florida after a traffic stop. Morgan was arrested for possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams), possession of drug equipment, and possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoids.

However, the case against the former Women’s Champion was closed in February, after her lawyers entered a plea of Nolo Contendere. In May 2024, however, the story caught fire again when the bodycam footage from Liv Morgan’s arrest was released.

Liv Morgan Put On Brave Face After Arrest

With the issue in her rearview mirror, now, however, Liv Morgan explained to Logan Paul on Impaulsive what happened and why she immediately called WWE after being taken in by the cops:

As the world knows, I did have a run in with the law. It is all cleared up now. I’m not guilty. Let me take a moment, I can’t make light of the situation. I was in a situation where, there were things in my car that I was unaware of. One of those things was a felony. I got arrested, I bailed out, and I called work right away. My bail call was work.

I called our head of talent relations, Dan. I explained what happened. He was like, ‘Alright, we’ll figure this out. Stay hushed, go to work tomorrow, don’t tell anyone, do your thing.’ I go to work to do rehab and I’m so guilty and feeling so shameful. I don’t want work to be mad at me.

I do a lot of community work in WWE. ‘I just ruined everything on something that was my fault, but not my fault.’ I have to take responsibility, it’s my car, I take full responsibility for it. I showed up to work [happy face], I saw you [Logan] and we had a normal conversation, you would have never known. It was SmackDown and news broke that night.

As far as handling the situation after the news broke, Liv Morgan noted:

I was okay. What I already said was, I didn’t want to lose my standing at work. I didn’t want them to think that I was this criminal. I had worked so hard to get in the position I was in, and I thought I had ruined everything. I was upset. I thought I ruined my career.

Liv Morgan is the current Women’s World Champion and her grip on that title has tightened somewhat after Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked Rhea Ripley leaving her in a bloody heap on NXT.
