Liv Morgan has come a long way over the last few years as she’s managed to win not only Money in the Bank but also the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Morgan also had a standout performance in the women’s Royal Rumble match this year, but there was once a time when she was overly worried about getting fired.
Recently the former SmackDown Women’s Champion spoke to WWE on FOX and she recalled her days in NXT where she was constantly stressed because she was concerned that the company was going to let her go.
“Not too far recently, but I remember there being points in NXT where I was like, ‘I’m getting fired. I am gonna lose my job tomorrow’ and really believing that and crying myself to sleep because I thought when I showed up to work the next day, I was gonna be fired and so I feel like in that moment in time — this was so long ago.
This is like six years ago — I had so many regrets, even though nothing had happened yet but I was like, I wish I’d worked harder, I wish I utilized this more, I wish I wasn’t scared. So many I wishes, I wishes, I wishes and then I walked into work the next day where I swore on my life I was being fired. I prepared myself, like I was emotionally numb. Just do it and then I just had to film a backstage, and I was like, ‘Yay!’ But I feel like it just gave me so much perspective that’s never lost on me since that day. So I always try to make sure, like, even if I’m nervous or scared, I’m like, you don’t wanna look back and wish that you had just went for it so I always try to just use that motivation and just to go for it, go for whatever it is and not be scared. Even if I’m scared, I’ll fake it. I’ll fake it, I’m not scared but I’m terrified, about to pee myself.”
Morgan will get her chance to earn the right to challenge for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39 when she competes inside the Elimination Chamber on Saturday, February 18. Stay tuned for updates.
