Liv Morgan is exuding confidence ahead of the Royal Rumble, scheduled on Saturday.

Morgan announced herself as an entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match along with her Judgment Day stablemates Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.

Some of the other superstars who will be seen in the match include Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Chelsea Green, and Becky Lynch.

The wrestlers are already in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the premium live event, which is being held outside North America for the first time since 1988.

Liv Morgan was interviewed during a city tour and asked about the shoes she was wearing.

In reply, she said they were the same shoes she wore when she kicked John Cena in the nether region at Survivor Series: WarGames during his Intercontinental Championship defense against Dominik Mysterio.

Interviewer: So, what shoes do you have on your feet right here?

Liv Morgan: Oh, these are Westies, no big deal. You know, at Survivor Series 2025, I kicked John Cena right in the…these shoes.

Liv Morgan Reveals Her 2026 Royal Rumble Plans

Liv Morgan has competed in several women’s Royal Rumble matches, but has yet to win one.

Despite having no World Championship around her waist this time around, the 33-year-old is brimming with confidence ahead of her match against 29 other female stars.

During an appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter, Morgan shared her plans for the Royal Rumble match.

I’m excited to finally win it. You know, I’ve been in eight of these, like you just said. I’ve started this match. I’ve ended this match. I’ve had the record for the shortest time in this match. I’ve also shared the record for the longest time in this match. I’ve been runner-up twice. And so, this year, I’m looking forward to finally winning it.

Morgan even shared that Saudi Arabia had been a lucky destination for her, having previously won her first Women’s World Championship and the inaugural Women’s Crown Jewel Championship in the Kingdom.
