A man charged with stalking WWE Superstar Liv Morgan has been ordered to remain in custody while awaiting trial. Shawn Chen’s request for bond was denied during a court hearing, with the trial set for November. Chen faces serious allegations after allegedly traveling from Canada to Orlando, Florida, and attempting to enter Morgan’s home on May 31.
Chen’s defense team argued he had arranged a bed at a Salvation Army rehabilitation facility, but prosecutors contested the motion, highlighting concerns over flight risk. The court acknowledged Chen’s placement at the Salvation Army but concluded this did not represent a significant change in circumstances. A psychological evaluation cited in the ruling diagnosed Chen with a delusional disorder related to the victim.
Chen was initially arrested on June 3 and formally indicted on June 25, facing possible imprisonment of up to five years if convicted on interstate domestic violence charges.
Seth Rollins Praises Becky Lynch as the Unquestioned Top Female Wrestler
During an appearance on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike podcast, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins expressed high regard for his partner Becky Lynch, calling her the best female wrestler in history. Rollins detailed the ways their relationship pushes both passionate performers to new levels.
Reflecting on their bond, Rollins said,
What it boils down to for me is iron sharpens iron. We met through this industry. We met in 2015, 2014. Became friends. Both started to rise up at the same time. Found each other romantically. Then we’ve been able to really use each as a resource. To get out there and perform with her, the way she preps is different than how I prep. The way she performs and interacts is different. We get to learn from each other, bounce stuff off of each other. We understand the grind. We understand what it takes on the other side of this, so there is no pressure. The ease at which we’re able to communicate, I think, makes the partnership on-screen fantastic. Obviously, off-screen, makes things super easy and fun.

He further emphasized Lynch’s unmatched impact in wrestling, stating,
She is not arguably the greatest. She is actually the greatest of all time. This is the first woman to main event WrestleMania. She doesn’t have a movie, but she is a New York Times best-selling author. She’s a mother, an athlete, an entertainer, she does everything. She has transcended our industry and taken female wrestling to heights no one could have ever dreamed of. Not arguably. Numero uno, without question.

Stephanie Vaquer Reflects on NXT Success and Upcoming Championship Opportunity
Following the cancellation of her scheduled match against Naomi for the WWE Women’s World Championship at Clash in Paris, Stephanie Vaquer spoke candidly about her journey within WWE and her future goals. Naomi’s pregnancy announcement forced the match cancellation, but Vaquer is now set to challenge IYO SKY for the title at the Wrestlepalooza event.
During her interview on the Insight With Chris Van Vliet podcast, Vaquer discussed her decision to begin in NXT despite initially hoping to start on the main roster.
She shared,
It’s a really nice experience. Because when WWE called me, they asked me if I want to go main roster or NXT. And I say, main roster. But after I think a lot, I say, okay, maybe I know I need to learn how everything works here. So after I say no, I go to NXT, and many people say, ‘What are you doing? You’re crazy.’ And I say no, because I’m in no rush. I like to do things step by step, no rush, and I need to learn English. I need to learn the style. I need to learn that WWE style, how they train in the PC, different training. So I started in NXT slow, take my time and try to learn every day. But I really enjoy NXT because it’s like family. I really miss the people there and I had the NXT title and the NXT North American Title at the same time, in the best women’s division. So now I’m so happy. I’m so happy. Make history with my first title in WWE, so it’s the beginning of the big dream.
– Stephanie Vaquer, WWE Wrestler
Vaquer also reflected on winning titles quickly after joining WWE, noting,
No, I think because before WWE always take a long time to take a title. But I know it takes more hard work. But before WWE, every company, I take the more important title before WWE. So when I come to WWE, I say, okay, the beginning, I’m here, but now I will be champion. So the first step is the NXT Championship, and after, yeah, double champ.

Discussing fan reactions to her finishing move, The Devil’s Kiss, Vaquer expressed admiration for Booker T’s influence. She said,
I love Booker T. I miss Booker T on RAW. Because he really made people feel my move. I love that.
– Stephanie Vaquer, WWE Wrestler
Before executing the move in a recent title match, she pointed at Booker T as a tribute:
In my last title match in NXT, I saw Booker and was like, this is for you.

Looking ahead, Vaquer hopes for dream matches with other top wrestlers, saying,
One-on-one with Asuka. I really want it because it’s not been one-on-one. Asuka or Rhea, Mami versus Mamasita.
