Liv Morgan has doubled down on the debate that sparked with Tom Brady labeling WWE cute while appearing on Logan Paul‘s IMPAULSIVE podcast quite recently. The now-retired legendary NFL quarterback used such an adjective for the juggernaut of pro wrestling to counter Paul arguing that none of the NFL players possess the same level of athleticism as him.
‘The Maverick’ claimed in a subsequent interview with Sports Illustrated that WWE Superstars would eventually excel if asked to perform on the football field. Paul, however, firmly shot down any talk of NFL players acclimatizing to the WWE environment. All this noise has now been addressed by Logan Paul‘s WWE co-worker, Liv Morgan.

“I think I might have read about it here and there, but I did not pay any mind to it because although a lot of people in WWE are cute, there's so much more to WWE than I think people understand and realize.

She was specifically asked about Brady calling WWE cute in a chat with Going Ringside. The New Jersey-born wrestler said that she has read about it here and there but didn’t pay any attention initially. Morgan emphasized that there’s so much more than meets the eye in terms of what people make of WWE.
In accordance with Paul’s remarks, but in a completely respectful way, the former women’s world champion reaffirmed that any WWE wrestler would figure it out playing in a football field, but she was doubtful about the reverse of it. At last, Morgan quipped, “So, I think football is kind of cute.”
Liv Morgan to pick her WrestleMania opponent on Raw
This week on Raw in Atlanta, Liv Morgan will finally make her decision regarding the choice of the champion she’s going to battle with at WrestleMania 42. Even though it’s almost certain that the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match winner will pick Stephanie Vaquer to fight for the women’s world title in Las Vegas, Jade Cargill will also journey to Raw tonight to see whom Morgan wants smoke with.

A couple of weeks ago, the Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo actress used a highly offensive Spanish slur for Vaquer, which got her riled up, and she ended up slapping Dominik Mysterio. Last week, Morgan was slated for a sit-down interview with Michael Cole, who tried gauging the former Riott Squad member’s opponent pick for WrestleMania.
At first, it appeared like Liv Morgan had finally made up her mind, but she was merely trolling and stated that she wouldn’t rush herself into making any rash decisions. The on-screen girlfriend of ‘Dirty Dom’ said she was having a great time having the champions scrambling to know her choice. She added that she didn’t grind for a decade just for this moment to pass her by.

In came the current women’s world champ, Vaquer, and she completely went off on Morgan. ‘The Dark Angel’ slammed Liv Morgan’s 10-year grind claim by affirming that she didn’t sacrifice anything. Vaquer stressed that the Judgment Day member was handed everything on a silver platter by WWE. The ex-CMLL star then talked about what real struggle looked like.
As a Chilean-born, Vaquer said she grew up in a country where wrestling didn’t exist and has now traveled to different parts of the world. ‘La Primera’ told Morgan that she should be ashamed of herself for having to hide behind an entire faction and Mysterio. The 32-year-old Latina spoke her heart out, explaining what the title on her shoulder meant.
Here is the full translation of what Stephanie Vaquer said to Liv Morgan (via WWE's YouTube channel):

"Did you say 10 years of hard work? You working hard? That's bullshit. You've sacrificed nothing. WWE gave you everything. The best training, the best medical, you were given… pic.twitter.com/2LANycJX7D
Apart from it meaning more than just a prop to her, she said it’s also for the girls who never got an opportunity to overcome adversity. In her concluding sentences, Steph told Morgan loud and clear that she will make her learn what a real champion looks like if they do wage war at WrestleMania.
The intensity from Vaquer in her delivery of lines was top-notch. It’s worth noting that she cut the entire thing in Spanish, and it left Morgan in tears as her boyfriend was whispering the translations.
