WWE star Liv Morgan responds to Undertaker comments and talks Ronda Rousey, Logan Paul, Becky Lynch before WrestleMania

WWE superstar Liv Morgan is not offended by The Undertaker’s comments about the younger generation.

Soon-to-be Hall of Famer Undertaker recently stated that there is a level of grit missing from the current roster with a few exceptions, like Brock Lesnar, because young wrestlers were brought up in a “superhero era”.

Morgan respects Taker’s opinion but believes this is a new age in which people like different things, including grit, and that allows them to still put together a “great product”.

Morgan told SunSport: “Whatever Deadman wants to say, I don’t think anyone’s gonna argue with him.

“But I just feel like we’re in a different time. Everyone’s gonna like something different. He loves the grit, he loves that grittiness of Brock Lesnar, some fans love the superhero-esque performance that the younger generation is gonna give them.

“I don’t know, I feel like everyone is gonna like something different, I’m not offended by what he said. I feel like we put on a great product.

“Of course, Brock Lesnar is gonna be gritty, he’s probably gonna be a bit grittier than a Ricochet would be. Ricochet can do stuff that Brock Lesnar can’t do and vice versa. I think it just really depends on what you’re looking for and what you like.”

Morgan is now solely focused on this weekend’s WrestleMania 38 where she will team up with Rhea Ripley to challenge WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Carmella and Queen Zelina in a Fatal 4-Way Match, which includes Sasha Banks and Naomi as well as Natalya and Shayna Baszler.

The RAW star knows a lot about tag team wrestling following her stint with The Riott Squad, in which she paired up with Sarah Logan and Ruby Soho – formerly known as Ruby Riott.

The 27-year-old grappler is still not sure why the group suddenly disbanded in 2019 but is now fully committed to her tag team with Ripley.

Morgan added: “Honestly, I don’t know if there was an idea [behind The Riott Squad’s break-up]. I think maybe it was just time for something new, a change. Also at that time Ruby needed double shoulder surgery.

“It was very sudden, we had no idea until that day when everyone else found out. We don’t find out before anyone else, we don’t get warnings.

“I feel like I am a different competitor now than when I was at The Riott Squad. I don’t think Rhea is anything like Ruby or Sarah. Maybe a bit aesthetically, I feel like maybe our gear or our vibe would be similar to Riott Squad-esque. I feel like we’re a bit Riott-ous, even though we’re not. But I feel like it’s all just new. It all kind of feels new.

“I feel like the chemistry is just natural. From the very first night we tagged together, I feel like the dynamic was established right away. We knew how we were gonna compliment each other just right away. It was very easy, very natural.”

Liv Morgan is excited to see how Logan Paul will perform at WrestleMania 38WWE

WrestleMania always has a strong celebrity factor and this year won’t be any different with YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul set to team up with The Miz against Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik.

Morgan never got to meet Paul but is excited to have him over and is looking to see what he can bring to the table as WWE is something new to him.

She added: “I don’t know what the boys think of him. As far as the girls, we’re too busy trying to steal the show, but I’m very happy to have him. We’re all excited to see how he does, he does have experience in combat.

“In professional wrestling, in sports entertainment, in WWE, he’s kind of brand new. We don’t really know what he’s gonna bring to the table, so I guess we will all find out.”

Liv Morgan believes Ronda Rousey makes everyone up their gameWWE

WrestleMania is expected to be a big night for the women once more as Ronda Rousey returns to the Show of Shows for the first time in three years to challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

Morgan believes Rousey has had such a major impact in the women’s division that she made everyone step up their game.

She said: “She brings her fanbase, brings different eyes to our product. People that were fans of UFC and her whole unmatched run there wanna see how she does here. I feel like [in] her last run, she was so natural. She literally just walked in and she was already amazing. I love that from her.

“But she just makes everyone step their game up. You know when Ronda’s coming she’s gonna be featured heavily, she’s gonna be an intricate part of the division. [She] kind of keeps everyone on their toes, [she] keeps everyone at a higher level.”

Liv Morgan earned two title shots for the RAW Women’s Championship this season

Liv Morgan learned a lot from wrestling with RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch

Morgan will be hoping to return to the title picture herself soon after failing to capture the RAW Women’s Championship from Becky Lynch on RAW last year and Day One this past New Year.

But the American wrestler took some important lessons from that experience and now knows what it takes to wrestle with a superstar of Lynch’s calibre.

Morgan said: “I just feel like I put out performances that people had not seen me do, that they didn’t necessarily think that I had in me. So I was just really excited, just to show everyone what I knew about myself all along. That I can hang with the best of them. And she had to cheat every single time!

“[I learned] Just kind of what it takes to be in the ring with someone that is at that level. I had to step my game up in every single way because I didn’t want to match her, I wanted to be better than her.

“It was kind of my first taste of that singles main-event spotlight. We main-evented RAW, we had the only women’s match on this brand new Pay-Per-View to start off the New Year. So even though it didn’t go my way, I’m still really proud and happy of that experience.”
