Liv Morgan Reflects on Her Historic WWE Title Reign: 'Whoa! How Did We Get Here?'

Liv Morgan recently reflected on a significant night in her career when she secured a victory over one of the greatest women’s wrestlers in history. Before her injury in 2023, Morgan, alongside Raquel Rodriguez, held the Women’s TAG Team Championship title. Their first reign as champions began with a notable win against Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus, who stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Lita after the WWE Hall of Famer was attacked backstage earlier in the evening.
Morgan, like many current stars, found immense inspiration in Stratus and aspired to emulate the 7-time Women’s Champion’s success. Despite never imagining that she would compete against Stratus, Morgan was even more astonished to win a championship involving the legendary wrestler. In a conversation with Inside The Ropes Magazine, Morgan shared her thoughts on the surreal experience of wrestling against the Hall of Famer, reflecting on the impact it had on her career.
She noted, “Oh, for sure. That was actually my second time in the ring with Trish. But it’s safe to say I never conceivably thought that I’d be wrestling against Trish Stratus, let alone win a championship off her. A lot of my moveset early on was very Trish Stratus-inspired. So when I gave myself a moment to really appreciate what it was that I was doing, it really was a pinch me moment. These moments that you never thought you’d have, and all of a sudden here you are face to face with them and you’re just like, whoa, how did we get here? How did we finesse this?”
Morgan also discussed her ongoing rivalry with Becky Lynch, a prominent figure in professional wrestling. Now a two-time Women’s World Champion, Morgan defeated Lynch to claim her second championship title. During the same interview, Morgan expressed her admiration for Lynch’s accomplishments both inside and outside the ring, while confidently reminding fans of her own competitive prowess.
She said, “Her goal, I think, was to really evolve it and maximize women’s wrestling and really make women’s wrestling feel just as special and important as the men’s wrestling, and she did it all while being a fantastic brand-new mummy. But with all that, she’s still not as great as me. (laughs)”
As Morgan continues to build her legacy, her stories of triumph over established icons like Stratus and Lynch serve as a testament to her resilience and dedication. Her ability to compete and succeed against such revered figures in wrestling showcases her talents and fortitude, cementing her status as a significant force in the women’s division.
