Liv Morgan is gearing up with hope and determination to secure her inaugural win at the Royal Rumble match this weekend, a goal she has chased over eight previous attempts. The seasoned WWE competitor has continually featured in these matches since women’s Royal Rumble matches began in 2018, and now she is confident that victory is within reach.
Throughout her Royal Rumble history, Morgan has experienced a range of outcomes — from entering and exiting the match early to lasting the longest or finishing as the runner-up. Most notably, in 2023, she opened the match and was the last wrestler eliminated before Rhea Ripley claimed the win. Despite coming up short in recent years, including a post-injury return to the ring in 2024 where success again eluded her, Morgan remains optimistic about changing that narrative this year.
Liv Morgan Reflects on Her Royal Rumble Journey and Strategy
During a discussion with ESPN SportsCenter, Morgan expressed her excitement about finally winning the Royal Rumble. She highlighted the many facets of her experiences over the years, noting the variety of records she holds in the match.
“I’m excited to finally win it. You know, I’ve been in eight of these, like you just said. I’ve started this match. I’ve ended this match. I’ve had the record for the shortest time in this match. I’ve also shared the record for the longest time in this match. I’ve been runner-up twice, and so this year, I’m looking forward to finally winning it.”

Morgan also revealed a strategic change in her preferred entry position for the contest. Whereas in previous years her entry placement was not as specific, she now aims to draw the coveted number 30 spot, reasoning that entering last provides a significant advantage.
“I think strategically you want to be in that match very last. You want to come in at number 30. You are the freshest. Everyone else is eliminated or highly fatigued from being in this match. So you want to come in last and have the highest chance of pulling it out. So we’ll see. It’s random. So we’ll see. We’ll see where I land this year.”
