Liv Morgan says she's sad about major WWE change
A lot has changed in WWE over the last couple of years. However, there is one specific change that has made Liv Morgan sad.
It was recently noted that WWE would be scaling back on live events, with TKO president Mark Shapiro stating that the company does not need to carry "marginally profitable events." The company has so far hosted just one house show this month, with another scheduled for Sunday, September 29.
However, the change does not seem to sit well with Liv Morgan, who stated during an interview with the NY Post that she is a little sad that WWE is cutting back on house shows:
“I’m sad to see them kind of go a little bit because the house shows are so much fun and it’s so so much more intimate,” Morgan said. “House shows are truly for the love of the game. House shows are for the love of the art of wrestling, performing and being with the fans and interacting with fans on a more intimate level.”
The Women's World Champion emphasized the importance of house shows in honing a wrestler's skills.
"Also for me, I feel like that’s when I got good having so many reps on these live events in 2017, 18, 19 I was doing every single live event. But it helped me get so much better because I was getting all these reps. I’m sad to see that go for the newer guys and girls coming in who aren’t going to be able to have that experience and have the reps at live events under their belt but it is what is. Time home is always nice. We spend so much time away from family and friends. It’s nice, but I do love live events."
Liv Morgan has not wrestled at a WWE live event in over two months
While Liv Morgan used to be a regular face on the live circuit, the Women's World Champion has not been that active since winning the title. Her last house show match came back in July when she defeated Kairi Sane to retain her title.
Liv Morgan has also not defended her title on TV programming since her win against Zelina Vega on July 1. Her next title defense is scheduled for WWE Bad Blood where she will put the Women's World Championship on the line against Rhea Ripley.
Liv also cannot bank upon Dominik Mysterio to help her this time as the former tag team champion will be inside a shark cage during the match.
