“Made Me Sick” – Fans Irate Over Release Of Liv Morgan Arrest Police Body Camera Footage

Morgan faced legal trouble in Florida last December, leading to charges of marijuana and possible synthetic drug possession. Although the charges in the past, the police bodycam from the night of her arrest is now going viral.

Morgan was arrested in Florida last December for ‘possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams)’ and ‘possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid.’ Prosecutors in Sumter County ultimately decided to drop the charge.

According to the arrest report, Morgan admitted the bag of marijuana was hers but denied ownership of the vape pen containing the allegedly synthetic substance, stating that she “transports a lot of people in her vehicle.”

The body camera footage showed police going through the WWE Superstar’s journals, and reading them. Fans have given Morgan a ton of credit for keeping her cool throughout the situation.

The police officer acted like he had never heard of her. He ran across proof of her “wrestling work” while digging through Morgan’s belongings. The officer can also be heard wondering if she ever made it to WWE, solidifying the idea that he had no idea who he pulled over. 

Wrestle Ops tweeted out to say, “In reference to new bodycam footage of Liv Morgan’s arrest for possession of Marijuana: Complaining/questioning the cop for revealing Liv’s personal diary/journal but then also spreading the clip in the same post is definitively not an abnormal choice to make.”

Morgan is a beloved WWE Superstar, so fans are naturally flocking to stand by her now, as they did at the time of her arrest. Hanatas Wish tweeted out to say, “That Liv Morgan bodycam footage actually made me sick dawg. Genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve met in all my 24 years and I believe some of that footage shouldn’t of had been made to the public for not only her sake, for the cops involved too. Just felt too intrusive.”

This was a very popular opinion, as nobody has taken the side of the officers involved in the search of Morgan’s vehicle. In the end, her charges were dropped, but she still had to go through this ordeal over some marijuana and a cart.

Morgan spent virtually no time in detainment before her release. She will also not see any additional time behind bars for this infraction on Florida’s state law.

Liv Morgan ran into no trouble with WWE over this arrest. She was out of action due to injury at the time, but she returned during the 2024 Royal Rumble right on schedule. She is currently a top heel on the RAW brand, as her revenge tour continues.

WWE Drops Another Clue Linking Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan

Something is going on between WWE Superstars Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. Wrestling fans have noticed a series of subtle hints linking the Judgment Day member and the former Women’s World Champion. With Rhea Ripley off TV due to injury, it seems there’s another woman stealing Dirty Dom’s attention as of late.

Ripley suffered an injury during a backstage attack by Morgan that forced her to relinquish the Women’s World Championship. Morgan, the last woman to have a pinfall victory over Ripley, has been relishing in the fact that she put the Australian out of action. 

During the April 29, episode of Monday Night Raw, Dominik was seen leaving a room backstage and Liv was seen leaving the same area moments later. This has led to speculation that something may be brewing between the two despite their on-screen differences as Mysterio is the on-screen ‘squeeze’ of Ripley.

Latest Clue: The Bandana

Now you see it, now you don’t 

The latest ‘blink you and you miss it’ clue was shown on this Monday’s 5/6 WWE Raw. Mysterio appeared in-ring with his signature purple bandana, but was not wearing it later in the show during a backstage segment with The Judgment Day and Carlito. 

Mysterio didn’t address his missing bandana on Raw, but we may have found it. Morgan posed for a photo backstage at Raw and if you look closely at her front left pocket, there’s a purple bandana poking out. 

Oh, there it is!

Could Liv Morgan’s efforts to ruin Rhea Ripley’s life lead to her stealing Dominik away from her? Or is there another reason why the two have been getting closer in recent weeks? All we know is that something appears to be brewing between the former SmackDown Women’s Champion and ‘Dirty Dom.’

Dominik isn’t the only goal in Morgan’s sights, however. The young Superstar will challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s World Championship (a title Ripley once held) at WWE King and Queen of the Ring. 

WWE King & Queen Of The Ring 2024: Title Matches Confirmed On 5/6 Raw

Liv Morgan will have one more shot at becoming WWE Women’s World Champion when she challenges Becky Lynch at WWE King And Queen Of The Ring. 

On the May 6, episode of Raw, it was confirmed that Morgan will challenge The Man at WWE’s next PLE in Saudi Arabia. This has quickly become a very personal feud between the pair, as Morgan was the last woman to be eliminated in the battle royal that saw Lynch capture the title in April

Morgan has made it clear that she believes she deserves to be called WWE Women’s World Champion. After all, it was Morgan who injured Rhea Ripley in an assault that forced Ripley to vacate the title in the first place. Morgan is also the last woman to hold a pinfall victory over the ‘Mami’ of The Judgment Day. 

Intercontinental Title Match Announced

Morgan’s title opportunity wasn’t the only match confirmed on the May 6, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. On the show, ‘Big’ Bronson Reed faced Gad Gable in a match that saw interference from Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. This would ultimately backfire for the underdog, as Reed would lay out Sami and Gable. 

In a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond, Zayn said the only way to settle things is a triple threat match for his Intercontinental Championship. This will mark the first Intercontinental title opportunity at a PLE for both Gable and Reed. 

SE Scoops will have full coverage of the King & Queen of the Ring event, as well as tournament matches. Keep checking in ahead of WWE’s next Saudi Arabia event. 

What Is Going On Between Liv Morgan & ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio On 4/29 WWE Raw?

Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan may seem like they have nothing in common, but the pair may be closer than you’d think judging from a recent episode of Raw. 

In recent weeks, Morgan has been pleased with the fact that she injured Rhea Ripley which resulted in the Australian Superstar vacating the WWE Women’s World Championship. On last week’s Raw, Morgan was the runner-up in the battle royal for the vacated title that was won by Becky Lynch. 

Dominik Mysterio confronted Morgan before last week’s title match, and the two also interacted during this week’s Raw. In the middle of a backstage interview with Jey Uso, Morgan was spotted leaving a room. Mere seconds later, the former NXT North American Champion was seen leaving the same room. 

This rendezvous has had fans speculating that there could be something going on between the two, despite their on-screen differences. In a recent interview with The Border Patrol, Morgan claimed she was no friend of ‘Dirty Dom.’

“I don’t like the man. I definitely don’t like his woman. I just wanted him to know, ‘Yes, I did that, and I’m still here.’ The revenge tour doesn’t stop until I win the women’s championship.”

Could Morgan’s revenge tour see her try and snatch Ripley’s man away from her, adding insult to her literal injury? As The Judgment Day continues to show signs of imploding, fans will have to wait and see whether sparks begin to fly between the ex-con and the former SmackDown Women’s Champion on WWE TV. 

More on Liv Morgan

Here are some recent articles regarding Liv Morgan as the Superstar’s revenge tour continues on as part of WWE programming: 

Rhea Ripley Relishing In “Forever Runner Up” Liv Morgan’s Setback On 4/22 WWE Raw

Rhea Ripley may no longer be the WWE Women’s World Champion, but ‘Mami’ is relishing in the fact that Liv Morgan doesn’t hold the gold either. 

The Australian Superstar vacated the gold last week after being injured during a backstage assault by Morgan. On this week’s Raw, Becky Lynch won the vacated gold, marking The Man’s ninth championship win in WWE. 

Lynch’s victory on Raw saw her last eliminate Morgan, who alongside The Man was considered a favorite ahead of the battle royal. Taking to Twitter, Ripley was delighted to see her former friend-turned-rival once again come up short. Ripley added that Lynch was an “interim champ,” suggesting that she plans to swiftly regain the gold once she is healed up. 

Ripley may have had plenty to say after this week’s Raw but the same can’t be said when it comes to Morgan herself. When a WWE camera operator attempted to catch Morgan after the match, Liv was livid as seen in the clip below.

Did WWE Make the Wrong Call? 

While Lynch was a favorite going into the battle royal, many feel that Liv Morgan should have left Raw as the new Women’s World Champion. Morgan has been embroiled in a feud with Ripley for some time, and it was an attack by ‘Mami’ that forced Liv to miss months of action. On Twitter, WWE/TNA Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his belief that WWE made the wrong call. 

Whether it should have been Liv Morgan or not, Becky Lynch is now once again on top of WWE Raw’s women’s division. With this being her first singles title reign of a main roster title in two years, Lynch is hoping for a nice, long run, though is quickly finding herself a long list of challengers. 

Mick Foley Says Rhea Ripley Has Developed Into An ‘Iconic Entity’

Wrestling fans are still stunned after Rhea Ripley announced that she has been forced to vacate the WWE Women’s World Championship. Ripley’s incredible title reign ended after she injured her AC joint in a backstage brawl with Liv Morgan on the April 8 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

It’s believed that the injury occurred when Morgan slammed Ripley’s arm against a wall. WWE fans have noticed that once the champion’s arm hit the wall, she immediately grabbed her arm. She revealed in the following episode that she was injured in the altercation and vowed to return stronger to reclaim the WWE Women’s World Championship. While it’s unclear what Ripley’s timetable is for a return, it could be a few months. 

As she hopes to recover fully, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley wishes her a swift return. 

Mick Foley Talks About Rhea Ripley’s Injury

Foley shared his thoughts on Ripley’s injury on his YouTube channel. He also spoke positively of WWE booking for Ripley and has been impressed with her since 2019. 

“…We’ve here at the Foley family really thought highly of her since the first time she premiered when we saw her, Royal Rumble 2019. I’d written stories about her saying WWE really had to treat her like the special entity that she is. I’m the first to say, look, I knew she needed special treatment. I didn’t know it would be this good,” said Foley.

‘The Hardcore Legend’ continued to praise Ripley’s growth in WWE and believes she’ll gain more popularity when she returns.  

“…We watched Mami just grow from a superstar into an iconic entity. I have to believe she’s going to come back better than ever and more popular than ever,” said Foley.

Although the injury is unfortunate, WWE is moving forward and ready to crown a new women’s champion. 

New Champion To be Decided On 4/22 Episode of WWE Monday Night Raw

WWE has announced that the vacant women’s world title will be on the line in the next episode of Raw. The championship will be decided in a Battle Royal Match, including Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, and Morgan.

It’s unclear how many participants will compete in the match, but it seems to be exclusively members of the Raw brand. The timing of the title opportunity is also interesting as WWE plans to shake up the rosters with the WWE Draft starting on April 26. 

After injuring Ripley, Morgan has set her sights on becoming the new WWE Women’s World Champion. Fans seem to have picked her as the favorite to win, and she could be in line for a big match with ‘Mami’ when she eventually returns. 

Liv Morgan Saves The Day with Extreme Rules Skills After Fire At AEW Star’s Birthday Party

WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was on hand to save the day after a small fire broke out at the birthday party for AEW star CJ Perry. 

Perry celebrated turning 39 this past weekend. The AEW star celebrated at her home with close friends, including Morgan and Sonya Deville. 

Liv Morgan to the Rescue

On Twitter, Morgan shared that a small fire oven fire broke out at Perry’s recent birthday. Thankfully for the attendees, Morgan knew exactly how to operate a fire extinguisher and put out the blaze. 

Morgan used a fire extinguisher during her match at Extreme Rules 2022 against Ronda Rousey. The then-SmackDown Women’s Champion caught Rousey by surprise during their Extreme Rules match. Unfortunately for Morgan, Rousey would get the win, kicking off her second reign as WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. 

Liv Morgan & CJ Perry

Perry and Morgan are close friends and during a WWE storyline, were teased to be something more. During the final Raw in 2019, Perry (Lana at the time) was set to marry her on-screen partner Bobby Lashley. 

The ceremony was interrupted when Morgan appeared and claimed she and Lana had been in a relationship, professing her love for Lana in the process. Despite online buzz over the segment and intrigue over the inclusion of LGBTQ+ storylines, the angle was quickly shelved. 

What’s to Come for Liv Morgan? 

With WrestleMania 40 less than two weeks away, Morgan is currently without a match on either night of the show. Some hope to see Morgan added to the Women’s World Championship match, given that she’s been feuding with Becky Lynch and was the last woman to pin Rhea Ripley. 

Valhalla Wouldn’t Be Surprised If Liv Morgan Gets Added To WrestleMania Match (Exclusive)

Following her return at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan indicated that her sights were firmly set on WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, who previously took her out of action (in kayfabe) last July. Along the Road to WrestleMania, Morgan’s attention claimed two additional targets — Becky Lynch and Nia Jax, both of whom have also been circling Rhea Ripley.

In a recent interview with SEScoops correspondent Ella Jay, Valhalla (fka Sarah Logan) shared her thoughts on the current storyline surrounding her former stablemate, Liv Morgan. 

Squirrely and Determined

While Jax, Lynch, and Ripley may carry bigger presences in WWE, Valhalla believes Morgan is more than deserving of being in the same spotlight as them.

“Liv is a badass,” Valhalla said. “I don’t know if anyone’s caught it, but she’s legit knocked a couple girls out with an open-hand slap. In one of the [Elimination] Chambers, she knocked Sonya Deville out just slapping her in the face. So she is not someone you’d want to fight, in my opinion.

She’s squirrelly and she is determined. This girl has been on a tear and she has transcended the Riott Squad in a way that I don’t think anyone knew she had in her. It’s nice, as one of her best friends and someone who loves her so much, to see her in the same conversation as Rhea Ripley, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch.”

“I love seeing her in that conversation. I love seeing her in those spots because she’s good enough, she looks good enough, she’s violent enough. There’s a reason that so many people love her, and there’s a reason that she has the following she does. It’s because she’s the real deal. I don’t even know where this storyline is going, and I’m excited to see where it does go.”

Potential WrestleMania Shakeup

As of this writing, Becky Lynch is slated to challenge Rhea Ripley in a one-on-one match for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 40. Given Morgan’s recent involvement with both of them, though, Valhalla thinks there is a possibility for this WrestleMania title match to be upgraded.

“It’s looking like [Becky and Rhea] are going to wrestle at WrestleMania, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Liv was in that mix too,” Valhalla said. “To be completely honest, no one knows what’s happening backstage. None of the wrestlers know. So as someone who’s a fan of Liv Morgan, I would love to see like her, Becky, and Rhea in a triple-threat match. Or maybe Becky’s walking to the ring and Liv hurts her so much that she gets the match. Something like that I think [would be really cool].”

This year’s two-night WrestleMania event will emanate from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Liv Morgan Responds After WWE 2K24 Is Threatened With Lawsuit By ECW Legend Francine

WWE 2K24 is on the way, and we just got the full roster reveal today. That being said, not everyone is happy about the upcoming game. Now, ECW legend Francine is threatening to take things to court.

Francine is Not Happy

A recent tweet has garnered the interest of a former WWE/ECW star. This all started when 2K dropped a sneak peek of Liv Morgan’s entrance on Twitter/X.

On Wednesday, 2K Games shared a tweet featuring a clip of Liv Morgan’s entrance in the WWE 2K24 video game, accompanied by the caption: “Queen of Extreme @YaOnlyLivvOnce #FirstLook #WWE2K24.”

This tweet caught the attention of Francine, renowned for her work as a valet, who holds the trademark rights to “Queen of Extreme.” Francine, who was associated with ECW from 1995 to 2001 and WWE from 2005 to 2006, issued a legal warning to 2K Games. She apparently didn’t appreciate the gimmick infringement on her intellectual property. 

“I have The Queen of Extreme trademarked. Do you need something sent to you guys again from my lawyer?”

As of this writing, 2K has taken down the tweet and replaced it. Liv Morgan has also refrained from speaking on the matter. Francine could be serious, but odds are she was just making it clear that there is only one true Queen of Extreme.

WWE 2K24 deleted tweet after Francine spoke up

WWE 2K24 Release Date

The upcoming WWE 2K24 game is now available for pre-order on various platforms, including Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X on March 8th. It offers standard, deluxe, and cross-gen digital editions, along with a special WWE 2K24 Forty Years of WrestleMania edition.

Update: Liv Morgan Responds

Liv Morgan saw this situation, and how 2K had to delete that original tweet. Then she responded by mentioning her new self-appointed nickname that would not infringe on any trademark.

Update on Women’s Elimination Chamber Match After WWE Seemingly Spoils Entrants

More has come to light about WWE’s upcoming Women’s Elimination Chamber match which will determine who challenges for the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania. 

The match will take place at the Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event that will take place from Optus Stadium on February 24. The show will be WWE’s first PLE in Australia since 2018. It will also serve as WWE’s final main-roster Premium Live Event ahead of WrestleMania 40 which will kick off on April 6, in Philadelphia, PA. 

Spoiled Entrants

Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch have already qualified for the match, but thanks to WWE sharing an image early, fans know who will be joining the former champions. It is now known that Naomi, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, and Jade Cargill are set to compete in the match. This will mark the second Chamber match for Naomi and Belair, and the fifth for Liv Morgan. It will mark the first time entering the Elimination Chamber for Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, and Jade Cargill, the latter of whom will be competing in her second WWE match ever at the event. 

Latest News

Mike Johnson of PW Insider has since confirmed that the plan is for Lynch, Belair, Naomi, Stratton, Morgan, and Cargill to be part of the upcoming match.  Morgan, Stratton, and Naomi all have qualifying matches in the coming week. At this time, it is not confirmed how Cargill will earn her spot in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. 

Becky Lynch is immensely confident of earning a shot at the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania… 

Liv Morgan Gets Great News On Her Possession Arrest Situation

Liv Morgan was doing her thing as she recovered from her shoulder injury, and then she captured headlines in an unexpected way. Now the former Women’s Champion is free and clear after her possession arrest. 

Liv Morgan Charges Dropped

PW Insider reports that Liv Morgan’s legal case in Sumter County, Florida has been closed. This comes after she was able to get a previous felony dropped. 

Morgan faced charges stemming from a December 2023 traffic stop, including possession of marijuana (under 20 grams), possession of drug paraphernalia, and potentially synthetic cannabinoid possession. The most severe charge, related to the synthetic cannabinoid, was dismissed due to the state’s inability to prove its origin. An Assistant State Attorney explained that no Florida labs conduct tests to differentiate synthetic from plant-derived THC, leading the charge to be reduced to possession of cannabis.

What Happened During Liv Morgan’s Arrest

During the stop, a Sumter County Deputy detected the odor of marijuana around Morgan’s vehicle. Despite an upcoming hearing on the remaining charge on February 20, Morgan’s attorney entered a plea of Nolo-Contendere on January 31, neither admitting nor denying guilt but accepting conviction. 

A fine of $543.00 was imposed, with no additional penalties mentioned in court records. Now, Morgan is free to do as she pleases without this hanging over her head.

About Marijuana Possession in Florida

Liv Morgan did not have a prescription for medical marijuana in Florida. It is also not recreationally legal in the Sunshine State. 

The charge of marijuana possession is a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida, carrying potential penalties of up to one year in jail or probation, along with a $1,000 fine and other consequences of license suspension and drug testing.

No Heat On Liv Morgan After Arrest

WWE did not show any dissatisfaction with Morgan, who returned from a shoulder injury at the 2024 Royal Rumble. There was no heat on her at all, and no plans for her return to the company were changed due to that arrest.

Morgan is anticipated to compete at the WWE Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia, later this month. She has a qualifying match on WWE RAW next week against Zoey Stark for a spot in the Elimination Chamber match.

Liv Morgan Kept An Impressive Streak In Tact At The Royal Rumble

The 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble came equipped with several surprises, one of which was the return of Liv Morgan. The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion had been out of action since sustaining a second shoulder injury — an injury that later resulted in her being written off WWE television in late July 2023.

After six months on the shelf, Morgan resurfaced in WWE’s Women’s Royal Rumble match on January 27, entering the field from the number 30 position. Morgan  was one of the final two competitors in the match, but was eliminated by the winner, Bayley. 

During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Morgan commented on her return, sharing her excitement to being back in a ring. 

“It’s been a journey the
last 6 months,” Morgan said. “It’s been a fight, it’s
been a struggle, so to come back at the
Royal Rumble in the coveted 30 spot, I
was very happy. I felt honored and
just happy to be back, happy to be back
doing what I love, doing my thing, came
really really really close, but I am
happy for Bayley, nonetheless.”

Despite a lengthy absense from WWE due to injury, Morgan returned to action just in time to keep an impressive Royal Rumble streak in tact.

“Last year
I came very close as well. I was also a
runner-up last year when Rhea beat me. I think Nattie and I are the
only superstars in WWE to be in all
seven women’s Rumble match, so I am a
little bit of a veteran in this match. Maybe next year will be my year.”

Liv Morgan Channels Christina Aguillera

Morgan paid homage to singer Christina Aguilera’s outfit from her Dirrty music video with her ring gear in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble:

Royal Rumble Surprises: List Of Expected and Rumored WWE Returns

Fans can expect to see several surprise returns as part of the upcoming Royal Rumble event, it has been reported.

The WWE 2024 Royal Rumble premium live event will take place on Saturday, January 27 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It will be the 37th annual Rumble event and the seventh event to feature both men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.

SE Scoops will have a live correspondent on hand for the Royal Rumble. Stay tuned for more information about exclusive content coming to the site, social media and YouTube from St. Petersburg.

Wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating some surprise entrants in the men’s and women’s matches. Less than three weeks out as of this writing, the first round of rumored names include Sean Waltman, Naomi, and Liv Morgan, according to reporting from PW Insider.

Who Not To Expect In The 2024 Royal Rumble

Hulk Hogan

Okay, let’s get this one out of the way, because we must address it. Hulk Hogan’s name was not churning in the rumor mill for the 2024 Royal Rumble match until he put it there. The Hulkster showed up on RAW this week and said he may have one more match left in him. That is not happening this year. I asked around about this right after Hogan’s promo, and everyone gave me a resounding “No way” and/or “Hell No!” when I asked whether Hulk Hogan is coming in for the match at Tropicana Field.

Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon used to have a lot to do with the Royal Rumble match, as he also used to help produce it. I asked around as late as this week and was able to confirm that Shane-O Mac is not in any discussion for the 2024 Royal Rumble match. So, despite many expected surprises, Vince McMahon’s son will not be one of them either. 

Royal Rumble Potential Surprise Entrants

Sean Waltman

Waltman was recently at the WWE Performance Center which is also in Florida. On January 12, the nWo and DX alum said he can still go in the ring, but there’s “zero chance” he’ll be there:

There was talk last week at the PC about Waltman being in Florida over the Rumble weekend. Last year, Waltman told a fan “maybe” when asked about competing in the match. Waltman is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. His most recent match for WWE was a 10-person tag-team match on the July 8, 2002, edition of Monday Night Raw.

Naomi / Trinity Fatu

Former WWE star Naomi is among those being discussed for a return in the Women’s Rumble match. The reigning IMPACT/TNA Knockouts World Champion competes as Trinity but is expected to finish with that promotion at tapings later this month. The belief within WWE is that she will be returning once her run with IMPACT/TNA expires. Naomi/Trinity famously walked out of WWE in May 2022 alongside Sasha Banks (now Mercedes Mone) due to creative differences with WWE.

Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan is also said to be in the mix, as there were talks back in November of her returning from her shoulder injury. Morgan was recently arrested for marijuana possession, but there is little to no heat on her from WWE management. Her legal issue has not changed plans for her, and she recently saw the most serious charge against her dropped.

Giulia

Giulia’s status is a very interesting one. Rumors have been flying around about WWE interest in here. In face, it was reported that AEW backed off of her completely after interest from WWE was evident. Only time will tell if Giulia shows up at the Royal Rumble. She has not been to the WWE Performance Center yet, but the idea of her showing up in Tropicana Field is certainly possible.

Mercedes Mone/Sasha Banks

Mercedes’ free agent situation is very interesting. The former Banks, who is notorious for keeping her contracts close to the vest, is now bound for another company after her NJPW deal expired. Although rumors of a WWE return are strong, those in WWE still believe that she is heading to AEW. Others, like Sean Ross Sapp have indicated the same. There were talks between WWE and Mone, but they hit a financial roadblock.

Jade Cargill

A lot of things are going on with Jade Cargill, and WWE has big plans for her. As a former TBS Champion in AEW, World Wrestling Entertainment didn’t jump right to debuting her in the ring. Instead, they opted for a slow burn debut, where she showed up at Fastlane. Then, they placed her in the WWE Performance Center, so she could polish up her skills and get ready for her big moment. It will be interesting to see if WWE pulls the trigger on her debut at the Royal Rumble, and just how much time they give her in the match.

Kazuchika Okada

Okada is leaving NJPW, and that news broke the pro wrestling world wide open. We have not heard any explicit report of a WWE contract offer, but the man has been on WWE’s radar for years. It may be possible that NJPW would allow Okada to perform at the Royal Rumble, even if he has more dates with them. Obviously, Okada’s addition to WWE would also greatly shake up the WrestleMania landscape as well.

Kamille

Although it is expected that Kamille may debut for NXT first, WWE has their eye on the former NWA Women’s Champion. She was just backstage at AEW Dynamite, but that was only because they were very close to her home. That didn’t give any indication that Tony Khan is close to snatching her away from WWE. By all appearances, Kamille is going to WWE, where she will probably be a major player when the time comes.

This page will be updated in the weeks and days leading up to the Royal Rumble.

Unique Reason Why Most Serious Charge Against Liv Morgan Was Dropped

A unique technicality was crucial for the most serious drug-related charge against WWE Superstar being dropped this week. 

Morgan was arrested on December 14th in Sumter County, Florida, following a traffic stop and was charged with possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoids. She was also charged with marijuana possession, not exceeding 20 grams, and possession of drug equipment.

Why the Charge Was Dropped

This week, the possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoids charge was dropped against Morgan, which will come as a huge relief to the Superstar. This was the most serious charge against the former SmackDown Women’s Champion. 

The decision to drop the charge came as a surprise to many, but there is a reason for this. An Assistant State Attorney in Sumter County told KOMO News that to prove the charge, the State is required to prove that the THC came from synthetic sources and was not derived from plant sources. No labs in the State of Florida perform such tests, so it was remanded to county court as possession of cannabis. 

With no labs to perform the test, this charge was dropped. In a statement to The Messenger, Morgan’s attorney Jack Goldberg said: 

“We are extremely pleased that the State Attorney’s office made the correct decision to not purse felony charges against Gionna [Morgan].”

What’s Next? 

The charge of possession of marijuana, less than 20 grams, is a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida. It can be punishable by up to one year in jail or on probation, along with a $1,000 fine. Conviction of possession also results in a six-month driving license suspension, random drug testing, and the reimbursement of all fees related to the sentence. There is no heat on Morgan for this arrest within WWE

Liv Morgan’s Felony Possession Charge Dropped, Legal Update

Liv Morgan was arrested on December 14th, at 6:30 PM for charges including possession of marijuana (under 20 grams), possession of drug equipment, and possession of potentially synthetic cannabinoids. Now, she has one less charge to worry about after hiring an established attorney. 

Liv Morgan Resolving Legal Issues

As outlined in Liv Morgan’s arrest report, on December 14th, a Sumter County Deputy approached Morgan’s vehicle, and “the odor of marijuana was detected.” Upon searching Morgan’s vehicle, law enforcement discovered a “small plastic bag containing marijuana” and a vape pen containing “an oil-like substance.” Subsequently, the substance was subjected to testing, confirming it to be marijuana, as detailed in the arrest report.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Liv Morgan has enlisted the services of Jack Goldberger, a prominent criminal defense attorney in Florida. He will help her get out of this legal predicament. 

Goldberger has already succeeded in having her felony synthetic marijuana charge dismissed, which is a big win for her.

Regarding Liv Morgan and her arrest a few weeks back, she hired Jack Goldberger, one of the best criminal attorneys in Florida. The state dropped the synthetic marijuana charge which was the felony and transferred the marijuana case to a different division which hasn’t been listed yet. The belief at this point is most likely it will be a misdemeanor charge and most first-time offenders with marijuana in Florida pay a fee of $100, and they’ll drop the charges without anything appearing on her record

Liv Morgan’s WWE Return

Liv Morgan’s recent arrest is not anticipated to impact her scheduled WWE return. The company had already finalized plans for her comeback in 2024, and there seems to be no alteration in those arrangements.

With the Royal Rumble coming up on January 27th, Liv Morgan’s name is a favorite to return. She might have to deal with some strange fan chants in Tropicana Field about marijuana, but that would only make her WWE return more memorable. 

Police Report Provides Details Of Liv Morgan’s Possession Arrest

Liv Morgan was arrested on the evening of December 14th. The arrest went down at 6:30 PM, and Liv Morgan found herself in a legal predicament, as she is now facing charges of possession of marijuana (not exceeding 20 grams), possession of drug equipment, and possession of potentially synthetic cannabinoids. New details are now available, thanks to a police report. 

Liv Morgan’s Arrest Report Revealed

PW Insider obtained the police report, and reported that the document noted the incident unfolded when a sheriff’s deputy observed Liv Morgan operating a yellow jeep, noting that it was crossing over the white and yellow lines of a County Road. Subsequently, Morgan was taken into custody, although she was released shortly thereafter. Presently, she awaits her court date scheduled for February 12th, 2024.

The defendant (Gionna Daddio) Committed the offenses of possession of a controlled substance (THC oil ) a vape pen, pursuant to F.S.S 893.13.6a and F.S.S. 893.13.6b- Possession of Marijuana 20 grams or less, by unlawfully and willfully having in her possession a green leafy substance that field tested positive for marijuana within Sumter County to wit:

On 12/14/2023, at approximately 6:26 pm, Sgt. Otero observed a yellow jeep bearing Florida Tag [DELETED BY PWINSIDER] Traveling West on CR 476 Bushnell, Florida, within Sumter County.

The vehicle could not remain in the lane it was traveling. Sgt. Otero observed the vehicle to cross over the yellow and white lines on the roadway several times. Sgt. Otero then conducted a stop on the vehicle to ensure the driver wasn’t having any health issues. Sgt. Otero explained as he approached the vehicle, he immediately smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. I Deputy E. Hillman arrived on scene as Sgt Otero was speaking with the defendant.

Sgt. Otero asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle. The defendant was detained due to her stating there was marijuana in the vehicle and she did not hold a medical marijuana card. I then took over the investigation. Upon contact with the defendant, I did a pat down of her person and placed her in the back of my patrol car. A search was done of the vehicle, and in a pink fuzz bag located on the back seat within arms reach of the defendant, I located a small clear plastic bag containing a green leafy substance.

A continued search of the vehicle, I located a vape pen within the center console of the vehicle that contained an oil-like substance. I conducted a presumptive field test on the green leafy substance and the oil-like substance in the vape pen, which all yielded a positive result for marijuana. I read the defendant’s Miranda warning. Post-Miranda, the defendant stated the green leafy substance(marijuana) was hers, and all the items inside the vehicle were hers.

The defendant stated that she transports a lot of people in her vehicle, so she doesn’t know where the Vape pen came from. The defendant stated she smokes marijuana but does not vape.

The defendant stated that she does not have a medical marijuana card. Due to the vape pen and green leafy substance all testing positive for marijuana, the defendant was placed under arrest.

Liv Morgan After Her Possession Arrest

Despite the legal hiccup, reports suggest that Liv Morgan’s recent arrest is unlikely to alter WWE’s plans for her return. The company had already mapped out a return for her in 2024, and there’s no apparent deviation from that trajectory.

Although Liv Morgan has no heat on her within WWE, she will still have to deal with this felony situation. She did not have a medical marijuana card, which may have remedied this whole situation. 

Liv Morgan has a court date set for February 2024, but she is free right now, as she only spent a very short time behind bars before she was bonded out.

How WWE Feels About Marijuana Now

It’s important to mention that, while marijuana is part of the Wellness Policy, WWE hasn’t tested for it in several years. In the past, a positive result incurred a $2,500 fine. That “weed tax” is no longer something that Superstars really need to worry about anymore.

Liv Morgan’s arrest for marijuana has surprised many fans. With a felony charge looming for possession of marijuana, possession of drug equipment, and possession of drugs, potentially synthetic cannabinoids, she faces a possibly challenging legal situation. 

The hope is that Liv Morgan can resolve this matter when her court date arrives in February. As more information unfolds in this case, SE Scoops will provide updates as more information is made available. 

How WWE Feels About Liv Morgan’s Recent Marijuana Possession Arrest

Liv Morgan was arrested for charges related to marijuana possession. That sparked a huge discussion within the confines of the Internet Wrestling Community, and many have wondered if this will change WWE’s plan for her.

As outlined in Liv Morgan’s arrest report, on December 14th, a Sumter County Deputy approached Morgan’s vehicle, and “the odor of marijuana was detected.” Upon searching Morgan’s vehicle, law enforcement discovered a “small plastic bag containing marijuana” and a vape pen containing “an oil-like substance.” Subsequently, the substance was subjected to testing, confirming it to be marijuana, as detailed in the arrest report.

Is There Heat On Liv Morgan In WWE After Her Arrest?

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that there is “absolutely no heat” on Liv Morgan in the aftermath of her arrest. Some fans were naturally worried that there would be trouble for Morgan within the company.

According to one WWE staff member, Liv Morgan’s absence from television did not disrupt creative plans, and her transparency about the situation has caused no issues for her.

“Everybody liked Liv before, everybody still likes Liv. We’ll get our jokes off, and she’ll get hers off, and nobody will be thinking about it soon enough.”

Another WWE source informed Sean Ross Sapp that Liv Morgan posted bail on Thursday and was back on Twitter promoting Smackdown by Friday. Her bail was $3,000, which was paid at the time of her release.

Liv Morgan’s WWE Creative Plans After Her Arrest

PW Insider also noted that WWE is not shifting their creative plans for Liv Morgan. She was always “pencilled in” for a 2024 return, and that hasn’t changed.

“In speaking to WWE sources this morning, while Morgan’s arrest was not widely known within WWE before it became public, but we are told several top executives were aware and had spoken with Morgan the day after the arrest, but had kept the information within a small circle.”

“We are told that Morgan had already been penciled in as to when she would be returning to company storylines in 2024 and currently, this is not believed to change those plans. The belief was she would be back in by the build to WrestleMania and was very much in the mix for what we are told is a “a high profile program.”

Liv Morgan’s Court Date

Liv Morgan is scheduled for arraignment on Monday, February 12, 2024, at the Sumter County Courthouse in Florida at 9 AM. During this hearing, she is required to declare whether she pleads guilty or not guilty to charges of possession of marijuana.

How WWE Feels About Marijuana

It is important to note that, although marijuana is included in the Wellness Policy, WWE has not conducted tests for it for several years. Previously, a positive result led to a $2500 fine.

Liv Morgan’s arrest for marijuana certainly came out of left field for many fans. Hopefully, she can put this messy legal situation behind her in February, but she does face a felony for that possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams), possession of drug equipment and possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid charge.

We will have more updates at SE Scoops as more news is made available about this case. Right now, Liv Morgan is free, and her spot in WWE seems solid.

Liv Morgan To Be Arraigned For Marijuana Possession Soon

WWE star Liv Morgan could be facing some legal consequences after she grabbed the headlines for possession of marijuana. 

On Thursday, the popular WWE star was arrested for possession of marijuana.
Morgan, has been on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury and she has found herself in hot waters.   

Morgan was arrested on December 14th in Sumter County, Florida, following a traffic stop. Morgan, who is a former SmackDown Women’s Champion was picked up for a marijuana possession charge, not exceeding 20 grams.

Morgan also faced charges for possession of drug equipment and potential possession of synthetic cannabinoids.

It has come to light that a sheriff’s deputy spotted the yellow jeep she was driving while crossing over the delineation lines of a County Road. Per the arrest report, when approached by a Sumter County Deputy, Morgan’s vehicle emitted “the odor of marijuana.”

Legal ramifications for Liv Morgan

d3e9d89d 0233 4e47 834a 75dff2a4c429 1

PWInsider has now reported that Liv Morgan is slated to be arraigned on charges of possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams) and possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoids on Monday 2/12/14 at the Sumter County Courthouse in Florida at 9 AM. She will need to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty at that hearing.

It’s to be noted that in Florida, possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoids is considered a felony and can be punishable by up to a maximum of one year in jail, up to one year of probation and a $1,000 fine.

Conviction of possession can also lead to a six-month driving license suspension, random drug testing, and all the reimbursement of all fees related to the sentence.

We will now have to wait and see how WWE deals with this situation when she returns to on-screen programming. 

Liv Morgan Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Liv Morgan’s name has come up in fan discussions about a possible Royal Rumble return. January 27th will be here before we know it, but Morgan is likely not thinking about the Royal Rumble today. The WWE Superstar was recently arrested for possession of marijuana.

According to PW Insider, Liv Morgan was arrested on December 14th in Sumter County, Florida, following a traffic stop. The 29-year-old former SmackDown Women’s Champion was picked up for a marijuana possession charge, not exceeding 20 grams.

In the end, Liv Morgan faced charges for possession of marijuana, not exceeding 20 grams, possession of drug equipment, and potential possession of synthetic cannabinoids. This went down at around 6:30 PM.

This unfolded when a sheriff’s deputy noticed the yellow jeep she was operating crossing over the delineation lines of a County Road. According to the arrest report, when approached by a Sumter County Deputy, Morgan’s vehicle emitted “the odor of marijuana.”

Subsequently, authorities found a “small plastic bag containing marijuana” and a vape pen holding “an oil-like substance” inside the vehicle. The substance was tested and verified to be marijuana.Liv Morgan soon posted bail for $3,000 and was released last night at 10:04 PM. No court date was noted for Morgan as of this writing.

It’s worth noting that Liv Morgan, who has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, has been engaged in promotional activities for WWE recently. She was notably present at the premiere of “The Iron Claw” in Hollywood earlier this week, where she was spotted with MJF, John Cena, and others.

We will have to see how WWE handles this situation, but they have historically allowed talent to handle their own legal problems. If anything, she was busted with something that is considered medicine by a majority of the United States, so she will hopefully be alright. 

Liv Morgan’s Court Date

It was later noted that Liv Morgan is slated to be arraigned on charges of possession on Monday February 12, 2024, at the Sumter County Courthouse in Florida at 9 AM. She will enter a plea at that time.

In Florida, the possession of drugs, potentially synthetic cannabinoids, is classified as a felony. The associated penalties can include a maximum jail term of one year, up to one year of probation, and a fine of $1,000.

MJF Meets John Cena & Other WWE Names at The Iron Claw Premiere

The stars were out for the premiere of The Iron Claw, with AEW World Champion MJF being joined by names from WWE. 

The Iron Claw delves into the lives and numerous tragedies of the Von Erich wrestling family. The wrestling lineage began with Fritz Von Erich (real name Jack Adkisson,) and his sons would also find success in the squared circle. The Von Erichs are still a force in wrestling today with Marshall & Ross Von Erich competing to this day.

WWE & AEW Collide on the Red Carpet

MJF plays Lance Von Erich in the new film, a kayfabe relation of the family who doesn’t mesh well with the actual Von Erich wrestlers. MJF also serves as an executive producer for the film so it was hardly a surprise to see him walk the red carpet for the premiere. What may have surprised fans though is that MJF was joined by some of WWE’s top names, including 16-time WWE World Champion John Cena. 

Cena wasn’t the only notable name to meet up with MJF at the premiere. The reigning AEW World Champion could also be seen with NXT Superstar Baron Corbin. 

Liv Morgan was also at last night’s premiere of The Iron Claw. Morgan is currently out of action with an injury and attended a party with MJF last October

MJF in the Iron Claw

John Cena may have made ‘You Can’t See Me’ his catcphrase, but wrestling fans may struggle to see MJF in The Iron Claw. The reigning AEW World Champion appears for a few seconds in one scene and has no lines in the film. MJF originally had a much bigger role in the film before edits were made

Former ECW Star Threatens Cease and Desist Over Moniker for Liv Morgan & Lita

Former WWE/ECW star Francine has made it clear that she is not happy with WWE using her nickname for Liv Morgan and also referring to Lita with the moniker.

Francine spoke about it on her podcast where she noted that WWE using the “Queen of Extreme” moniker for Morgan is unacceptable in her eyes. During a recent edition of Raw, Corey Graves also mentioned Lita as the “Queen of Extreme,” a play on her connected to Team Extreme with The Hardy Boyz. 

Francine owns the trademark rights to the nickname that she filed for months ago as she first used it when in ECW. 

She explained that the process of getting a trademark takes time. She said that she’s not upset with Lita as she didn’t do anything wrong, but did note that she’s been building up the nickname for the last 30 years and doesn’t want to pass it up. 

The Warning

Should WWE continue to use the nickname then she plans to file a cease and desist. 

“Whether I’m in this business another day or another 30 years from now, if I do conventions, I’m going to sign the Queen of Extreme Francine and I’m going to get that trademark. And if they continue to use it, we’re going to file a cease and desist. And that’s it. because they would do it to me.”

Francine stated that she’s not bitter towards the two stars nor the company, but she is simply trying to protect her brand that she worked hard to build.

During a commercial break, the young fan was welcomed backstage and was able to greet Morgan, who was pleased to see she was feeling better.

You can check out the feel-good moment between Morgan and her fan in the tweet below.

Memorable WWE fans

‘Angry Miz Girl’ who’s real name is Cayley, was welcomed back to WWE later that year as part of the 2010 Slammy Awards, and would have an interaction on the show with The Miz.

In 2020, to mark a decade since her WWE moment, Cayley shared an autograph given to her by The Miz on Instagram.

Fans will also remember Ellis Mbeh, who’s reaction to the Streak being broken in 2014, would earn him the moniker of ‘Shocked Undertaker Guy.’

MJF References Popular WWE Superstar on Latest AEW Dynamite

AEW World Champion MJF had an interesting story to tell on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite and made reference to one of WWE’s most popular current-day Superstars.

During Dynamite, MJF defeated Konosuke Takeshita in the former’s first match in two months, and was interviewed after the match by Lexy Nair.

In his promo, MJF recalled meeting a beautiful girl, whose name, for “legal reasons” was Liv.

MJF said that ‘Liv’ went down on him while driving his blue Camaro and that they were involved in a vehicular accident that killed the woman.

The AEW World Champion remembered being covered in her blood and switching seats to trick the cops into thinking ‘Liv’ was driving, before telling Bryan Danielson “I am a scumbag and I am proud of it.”

Given the choice of the name for the women in MJF’s promo, countless fans saw this as a reference to former WWE SmackDown Champion Liv Morgan.

The 28-year-old Superstar was even trending on Twitter after MJF’s promo, and you can see some of the reactions from fans below.

MJF & Liv Morgan

“I went to my friend Skylar’s birthday party and he was just there!…We had great, great, great, great banter. We have a lot in common actually.”

Liv Morgan

Morgan added that she hopes MJF does “what is best” when his contract with AEW expires in January 2024.

Liv Morgan Clears The Air On Acting Career & WWE Future

Liv Morgan has been trying her hands at many different things recently. She made an appearance on hit TV series Chucky last year. The WWE star has since been talking about her acting ambitions and auditioning for various other roles. This has made many wonder if she is looking to transition out of wrestling.

The former SmackDown Women’s Champion cleared her stand during an appearance on Out Of Character podcast. She claimed that her end goal with this is to bring more notoriety to wrestling:

“I don’t want people to think that I care less for here or that I’m going to try less for here or that my goals aren’t the same because I’m interested in other things. It’s not the case so I just wanted to clear the air.

I feel as far as WWE is concerned, everything that I do, it’s to bring more star power over. I’m not doing these things so I can be rich and famous and successful and be like ‘Alright, peace!’ It’s like no. I want to bring more fans. I want to bring more just notoriety in any way that I can.”

‘Tomorrow Is Never Promised’: Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan and Chuky

Liv Morgan made it clear that she wants to wrestle for as long as she can. At the same time, she realizes that tomorrow is never promised. The WWE star wants to use the stage she has in order to branch out and find other things to do:

“I want to wrestle for as long as I possibly can and I will, but tomorrow is not ever promised, you know? So if I can utilize this platform while I have it to kind of start a transition into acting and other entertainment, I of course want to utilize this platform while I have it.

WWE has been very gracious. They’ve been very cool and understanding and are like allowing me, letting me [do it] and are happy for me that I’m kind of exploring and trying to dabble into other things. They’ve been so great.”

Liv Morgan On How the Ronda Rousey Loss Has Affected Her

Liv Morgan finally achieved her life’s dream and became the SmackDown women’s champion last year. Her title run, however, didn’t last for very long and it ended with a devastating loss against Ronda Rousey. Such a loss would affect anyone else negatively but according to Liv, it has only made her fiercer.

The former champion was the most recent guest on Out of Character podcast. When asked about the loss to the former UFC champion and how it has affected her, Morgan said that she now has nothing left to lose:

“I have so much room to play, which I really appreciate. I feel like passing out and losing my title the way that it did. I had worked so hard for that and then for it to be taken away. I have nothing left to lose. I have nothing else to lose and I feel like my back is against the wall. So I’m ready and willing to do anything and everything that I need to do to eventually get my championship back.

So if that means putting myself through pain, putting others through pain – I’m down and ready for it all. I’m having so much fun with it, and I’m enjoying it. I enjoy kind of seeing how far I can go. How far I can be pushed and how far I can push others. How far they can push me. It’s been really cool.”

Liv Morgan and Cash

Liv Morgan with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan

While Liv Morgan herself has been focused on her career, many of her friends have made strides in their personal lives. One such friend is Liv’s former tag team partner Sarah Logan, who became a mother in February 2021. She gave birth to a son who they named Raymond Cash Rowe. Speaking about her relationship with Cash, Morgan revealed her funny interactions with him:

“It’s cool to see Cash every week. He does not let me do anything. He loves the crashpad right. And so we’ll be playing in the crash pad. He’s playing in the crash pad. Then I’ll like go to stand on it and he’ll grab my hand and I’m like ‘Oh, cute’ and then he walks me off of it. He’s like ‘noo.’

Last week during live events we were playing in the ring. I like barrel rolled in the ring and I like rolled to his feet. He rolled me out. He doesn’t want me involved in anything. I’m like ‘no, I am aunty Livie. I’m the cool aunt.'”
