WWE Rumor Roundup - Sasha Banks changes name, Ban on mentioning Asuka's move on TV, Superstar's pitch for a character change rejected - 28th November 2020

#3. Liv Morgan's big request rejected by WWE

Liv Morgan's WWE career has been one topsy-turvy ride. When you look at the big picture, Morgan has not established herself as a top Superstar despite being tipped to get a prominent spot in the women's division.

Inconsistent booking decisions have hurt her momentum, but Morgan is still focused on the task at hand. During a recent interview with Ryan Satin for Fox Sports, Liv Morgan revealed that she wanted to portray a darker character in the WWE. Morgan wanted to use her experiences and childhood struggles to have a gimmick that would be an outlet to express the suppressed emotions.

As you may have imagined, the pitch was turned down as WWE had other plans for the Superstar.

"I basically wanted to use the experiences I've gone through, the struggles of my childhood, and kind of use the character that I was trying to create as an outlet to express the darker feelings that I was feeling. The more sad emotions that I was feeling. So, I wanted to use this character as an outlet to express, maybe, suppressed emotions, you know? I just wanted to use this character as an outlet to show an opposite spectrum of Liv, you know? But, I'm very happy and bubbly, and I just wanted the pitch for it to come on the opposite spectrum of that."

Morgan has reunited with Ruby Riott, and it would be interesting to see whether WWE still has plans to push her as a singles Superstar in the distant future.
