Liv Morgan will defend the WWE Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley later today at Bad Blood 2024. Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage during the title match.

In a recent appearance on the “Rosenberg Wrestling” podcast, Morgan discussed her journey in WWE and how she became a fan of professional wrestling.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On getting into wrestling through her brothers: “I grew up with four older brothers and they loved WWE, and they took me to WWE, and I just fell in love with it.”

On working at Hooters to finish her GED while still wanting to go into wrestling: “That was my 11-11 wish. That was my pipe dream; like I’m gonna grow up and I’m gonna be in the WWE and I’m gonna save my family.”

On her trainer Joe DeFranco sending a training video of her to WWE: “They were like, ‘Unfortunately, you guys just missed a tryout but if you keep training, we have a tryout in six months.’”
