Liv Morgan’s Legit Backstage Fight With Ex-WWE Champion Detailed

Liv Morgan once got into a heated brawl with a fellow WWE star as things broke down behind the scenes.

Tensions can run high in the wrestling business, and that sometimes leads to some unplanned physicality. Bret Hart famously punched Vince McMahon in the face in the aftermath of the Montreal Screwjob in 1997. CM Punk was let go by AEW after his backstage altercation with Jack Perry. But it seems even those learning their trade can get physical outside the ring.

Liv Morgan Brawled With Mandy Rose

Speaking on the Identity Crisis podcast, former WWE star Sonya Deville revealed that a promo class at the WWE Performance Center got a little too real as Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose ended up in a very real fight:

We’re in promo class and we did this drill and it’s called the pull-apart promo. You do a pretend pull-apart. People are security, or other people are pulling you off the other girl and you’re just pretending, and then you have to cut a promo right after.

So they’re doing a pull-apart. Me, Aliyah, Danielle Kamela — we were the three people to pull them apart… I’m in the middle of the two of them and they’re doing it and it feels normal at first. Then I’m feeling wind whiz past my ear and I’m like, ‘Yo, they’re really throwing.’ And then I hear one of them say, ‘What, b*tch?’

Then I look — Aliyah’s gone. Danielle’s gone. They bounced because now it is a scramble, and I’m in the middle. I’m shooting on both of them to get them off each other. Mandy had Gionna’s hair, Gionna had Mandy’s hair, and they’re screaming at each other and swinging for the fences. Finally, the boys slide in to help me rip them apart. They get in the ring. We get them apart. They slide out. Coaches are yelling. [Matt] Bloom comes in and everyone’s freaking out.

Mandy was so proud at the time that she didn’t have hair extensions back then. So [Liv] rolls out and she’s like, ‘You pulled my hair.’ And Mandy goes, ‘At least my hair is real, b*tch.’ And they’re just f*cking each other up now, cursing each other out… The coaches came in and gave a big speech… I think one swung a little too snug and the other retaliated.
