Liv Morgan has changed the trajectory of the women’s division over the last few months. She has been thriving with her heel persona in her deeply personal feud with Rhea Ripley. Recently, Morgan addressed how her program with Mami over Dominik Mysterio has pushed the boundaries in WWE’s PG programming.
Speaking with the New York Post, Daddio said it was an exciting experience for her to test the limits of PG programming in her feud with Rhea Ripley. She added that this rivalry pushed away the envelope of guidelines that has not been seen in the past few years. Therefore, it has not only become entertaining for the fans but for the performers as well.
We are a PG at the end of the day so the fact that we’ve been able to tell these stories, you know push boundaries a little bit more than we’ve done in the past couple of years has been exciting for fans and it’s exciting as a performer to diving into the art form and the storytelling that we’re doing.

Moreover, there have been a lot of instances where it looked like Mysterio and Liv Morgan might have crossed the PG-13 programming rules. However, that never was the case; the two stars teased doing so but then pushed back. Moments involving NSFW references and multiple kisses/licks helped this feud go over among the fans.

Liv Morgan comments on the negative side of having less live events
It was rumored earlier this year that WWE would be having a lot fewer live events in 2025 comparatively to their previous years. The speculated reason for these changes was to provide the stars an opportunity to spend more time with their families. However, Liv Morgan has a different take on the situation, as she voiced the negatives of having fewer house shows.
Speaking with New York Post, Morgan said that house shows provide an opportunity for the stars to interact more with the fans. In addition to that, performing live shows helps a star gain more in-ring training in front of the live audience. Therefore, these house shows help a performer polish their skills, stated Daddio.
House shows are truly for the love of the game. House shows are for the love of the art of wrestling, performing and being with the fans and interacting with fans on a more intimate level.

The Women’s World Champion even mentioned that these shows helped her elevate her skills in professional wrestling. Although having live shows would be fun and helpful, spending time with the family is an important aspect of living as well, said Morgan.
