Liv Morgan, a standout member of WWE’s women’s division, recently opened up about a personal crisis that left her fearing for her career. The Liv Morgan WWE job fear stemmed from a troubling event in December 2023, when her arrest put her future with the company in doubt.
Morgan’s Arrest and Immediate Reaction
Morgan, whose role in The Judgment Day has made her increasingly prominent, found herself in difficult circumstances while traveling to Orlando for an eyebrow appointment in December 2023. She was pulled over and subsequently arrested after police discovered a synthetic marijuana vape in her car. Morgan clarified in an interview on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon that she was unaware the vape was left in her vehicle by someone else.
The incident deeply upset Morgan, as she had always tried to maintain a positive public image. Her rising popularity and her contributions to WWE’s community events only heightened her anxiety about how this arrest could affect her position in the company.
“Right away, I’m like, ‘I am gonna get fired.’ I am so upset, ‘I’m gonna get fired. I spent my whole life being good. I get arrested one time, and it’s not even my fault, even though it is, but I am gonna get fired,’”

The Impact on Morgan’s WWE Experience
In the aftermath, Morgan’s primary concern was not just her reputation but the fear that her efforts and achievements in WWE might suddenly be lost. She reflected on her passion for working within the community and voiced her distress over the thought that the incident could strip her of the opportunity to continue that work.
“I am like, so sad, ‘work’s gonna fire me,’ and I just ruined everything. I spent my whole life for this one goal, and now everything is squandered.’ I was so upset,”

As a former Women’s World Champion, Morgan’s worry about potentially losing her WWE career after so many years of dedication illustrates just how significant this moment was in her life. The emotional weight of her experience demonstrates the personal pressure that public figures often endure during high-stakes setbacks.
Earlier Challenges: Name Selection in WWE
Beyond this recent incident, Morgan also discussed her early career challenges, sharing how she almost took on a different persona. During her time in NXT, talent were asked to suggest potential TV names. Although Morgan submitted multiple lists, her suggestions were not initially approved. On her third and final list, she humorously included the name Oprah at the very end, but the name “Liv Morgan” was ultimately chosen for her by WWE’s creative team and did not originate from her own pitches.
What This Means for Morgan and WWE
Morgan’s openness about the arrest and her fears of losing her WWE job reveal the vulnerability many athletes experience behind the scenes, even at the peak of their success. Her candid reflections highlight the importance of support systems within organizations like WWE during moments of personal crisis. As Morgan continues her career with the company, her experience may serve as a cautionary example and deepen her connection with fans who appreciate her honesty and perseverance in facing adversity.
