“I love wrestling, I want to be a wrestler”: Liv Morgan tells the story of how her WWE signing went on

In a recent radio interview, WWE Superstar Liv Morgan revealed what got her recognized by the business. Morgan joined Vince McMahon’s organisation in 2014. She spent a couple years in NXT before being promoted to the main roster with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan as part of the Riott Squad. After the stable split up, Morgan would reunite with Riott for another run, and she would also play a role in the weird romance plot involving Lana, Rusev, and Bobby Lashley.

During a recent radio appearance with Cass & Anthony on Buffalo’s 103.3 The Edge, Liv recounted her signing with WWE after a successful run with the business. Morgan revealed how she came on WWE’s radar by training with Joe DeFranco, who had previously worked with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon:

“So I had heard about Joe DeFranco and his training systems, his gym, he trained professional athletes. At the time, he was training Triple H. So I grew up a huge wrestling fan since I was five years old, a huge WWE fan. So I went to this gym, and I pretty much told Joe DeFranco, ‘I love wrestling, I want to be a wrestler,’ and so he was kind enough to let me work out at his gym all week.” Morgan said.

Liv Morgan was pointed in the direction of WWE tryouts after impressing DeFranco

Liv Morgan was urged to try out for the WWE after impressing Joe DeFranco with her outstanding cardio and ability to physically keep up with NFL football players. Morgan declared it the luckiest thing that has ever happened to her on the same radio show:

“But he was impressed, and he was kind enough to pass along my information to the head of WWE, like tryout scouts, and they flew me in for a tryout and I got signed. It was just like the most lucky, meant-to-be, ‘right place at the right time’ thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life.” Liv added. (H/T Fightful)
