Why Liv Morgan Was Surprised WWE Let Her Do Movie Role

Former WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is one of the most popular stars on the promotion’s roster, and her rise within the company over the last few years has been almost unparalleled.

She has grown leaps and bounds in her WWE career during this time and has also managed to broaden her horizons by working outside of the wrestling world. Since 2022, she’s kick-started her acting career as well and has already done a couple of roles till now.

She was seen in a guest role in the Chucky TV series and also starred alongside Samuel L. Jackson in the film The Kill Room. In May of last year, she missed a few weeks of WWE television to shoot for her upcoming film, Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.

Liv Morgan reveals WWE’s reaction to her news

While speaking on the latest episode of Stephanie McMahon’s What’s Your Story podcast, Morgan revealed that she was surprised that WWE gave her permission to do the film because of what the role entails.

“I get the script, and I love it, but I was like, ‘There is no way.’ I auditioned for it anyway. I get the part. ‘Oh shit.’ I didn’t even know if I was really committed because of all it entails. To my surprise, WWE is like, ‘Go get ’em.’ When I tell you the role and what it entails, it’ll make sense. I went to Japan for 17 days and filmed this movie. I got to play this character that is so different than anything I’ve ever done. The WWE Universe is going to see me in a way that I don’t think they’ve ever expected to see me.” Morgan said.
