Liv Morgan Reflects On Early Career Struggles

Liv Morgan Womens Title WWE

Liv Morgan has opened up about her struggles with anxiety.

After spending ten years with WWE, Liv Morgan is now recognised as one of the top names in the company. The Women’s World Champion has enjoyed a fruitful 2024 by winning the title and being involved in the biggest storyline on Raw.

However, Morgan’s rise to the top has been far from straightforward.

Appearing on Good Karma Wrestling, Morgan reflected on her career to date, revealing just how badly she struggled with anxiety before eventually finding her feet.

“Just the confidence, the confidence. When I signed to WWE, I was, I just turned 20 years old and I had like a lot of life experience in different ways, but not performing, not eyes on me, not attention being on me. I didn’t even really know how to perform.

Like I remember making an entrance, like my entrance, the thought of doing an entrance and having everyone staring at me it was like, it was crippling. I had so much anxiety. It scared me so much.

So I think just like the confidence, the confidence and the belief in myself, I always kind of believed in myself, like I had high hopes that this is ultimately where I’d be. But truly, I didn’t really know because I just felt so ill-equipped. I felt so ill-equipped as a performer. As a professional.

And I finally made my way. It was, it was a decade of learning and troubleshooting and trying things and just like sticking with it, honestly, like sticking to the grind not giving up when I felt like it was maybe freaking impossible so I’m just, I’m just, I’m just proud of myself, I guess that I made it this far and that I just stuck it out because it was hard. It was really hard.”

Liv Morgan Heading For Huge SummerSlam Match

Now she’s firmly established as a main character on Monday Night Raw, Morgan is flying high.

Several months ago she vowed to take everything from Rhea Ripley, and she’s done just that. She put the Aussie star out of action, took the Women’s World Title (eventually), and then set her sights on luring Dominik Mystery astray. And things were going well until Ripley returned to Raw on a mission to destroy her rival.

It’s been announced that Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley will settle their differences at SummerSlam on August 3rd.
