While WWE has many wrestlers you could describe as “under-utilised”, this description is particularly apt in the case of current Raw star Liv Morgan, who despite being a fan favourite, has never received the push she clearly deserves.
Despite being blonde, it appears Vince has never seen the potential that fans have seen for so long, and apart from a brief push with the Riott Squad following her main roster debut, she’s done very little.
According to Gary Cassidy of Sportskeeda, Morgan asked Vince McMahon last year to be moved to Raw, something he agreed to, but Vince has since not approved any of the pitches former Raw Executive Producer Paul Heyman gave to him for her singles run.
I was told how Liv was on #SmackDown and – much like Andrade, Zelina, Aleister Black, AOP, Murphy, Humberto Carillo and Apollo Crews – couldn’t get on TV, so Liv apparently asked Vince if she could switch to #WWERAW, and Vince said yes.

The only thing that Vince gave his blessing to (shocker) was the lesbian storyline between Liv and Lana at Lana and Bobby Lashley’s wedding at the end of 2019.
While Liv moved to #WWERAW, none of Paul Heyman’s pitches for how to debut Liv would be approved by Vince – until the idea of the wedding debut was pitched. Although apparently Heyman never wanted to follow up with a “lesbian” storyline…

Apparently Heyman simply wanted to debut Liv and build to the obvious Mixed Tag Team Match of Liv & Rusev vs Lashley and Lana, then Liv vs Lana to establish Liv as a babyface as she could bump Lana around and capitalise on Lana’s heat.

It’s a huge shame that someone as over and as talented as Liv Morgan hasn’t had more of a chance to shine on the main roster, but then since when has being talented and over meant you’ll get a push in WWE? *cough* Rusev *cough*
