Liv Morgan: ‘Valhalla Farted In The Ring All The Time During Our Riott Squad Days’

WWE Superstars were wary of keeping their distance from Valhalla as the Riott Squad alum has been known to pass wind in the ring. 

Before she was Valhalla, the Viking competed as Sarah Logan and was part of the Riott Squad alongside Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott (now Soho.) The group made its main roster debut in November 2017 and all three members would have the date of their call-up tattooed on their bodies. 

In a recent interview with Open Thoughts, Morgan was asked if she’s ever passed wind in the ring. While Liv has been flatulence-free during matches, she revealed that the same can’t be said for Sarah ‘Valhalla’ Logan.

“No, but oh my gosh! Sarah, sorry I love you. I had this tag team partner Sarah, right? I was in a tag team called The Riott Squad and she would fart in the ring all the time and, you know, it like stinks but you have to kind of just like not react to it. But it’s like disgusting, you know, but you just keep it moving. I’ve not farted in the ring but I’ve been, like, farted on.”

What’s Next? 

Valhalla won’t be competing (or farting) in the ring for some time, as she and Erik are currently expecting their second child. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Raymond Cash Rowe into the world. Erik has been out of action for some time after undergoing neck fusion surgery. 

As for Morgan, she is in the midst of a heel turn and is a regularly featured name on the Raw roster. Liv hopes to be free of any passing wind when she competes for the WWE Women’s World Championship at King And Queen Of The Ring on May 25

Rusev Takes Shot At Shane McMahon’s Return, The Riott Squad On Their Future

This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw saw the return of former SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon who was there to introduce a new segment on the show.

Former WWE star Rusev who was released from the company earlier this year took a shot at Shane’s return via Twitter. He made the following tweet, mentioning how it’s opposed to the talks of building new stars:

The Riott Squad On Their Future

Tonight’s episode of Raw saw Kevin Owens holding his talk show with the special guest being Ruby Riott. Liv Morgan also came out during the segment and Riott admitted that she was wrong to attack Liv before.

The IIconics then came out as well and the segment set up a match between the two teams. The match saw Liv Morgan picking up the victory for her team.

Both Riott and Morgan were interviewed backstage after the match and when asked about their future, they suggested that this reunion could continue in the upcoming times. You can check out their interview below:

Ruby Riott Undergoes Succesful Shoulder Surgery

Riott Squad leader, Ruby Riott, who suffered an unfortunate bilateral injury, has undergone successful shoulder surgery on her right shoulder. She will be undergoing further surgery on her left shoulder at a later time.

WWE released the following update:

“Raw Superstar Ruby Riott underwent successful surgery yesterday to repair a bilateral injury to her right shoulder, WWE.com can confirm. Riott will receive surgery for the same injury on her left shoulder at a later date. Join WWE.com in wishing Ruby a speedy recovery!

The RAW Superstar last competed on television in a losing effort to Dana Brooke on the April 22nd episode of WWE Main Event.

She last competed on May 17th at a WWE Live Event in Cardiff, Wales as a participant in a Fatal Four Way for the RAW Women’s Championship. Becky Lynch would successfully defended her championship.

There is no scheduled return date for Riott at this point in time. However, considering she is yet to receive surgery to her left shoulder, she will probably be out for quite a while.

Riott Squad

Given that The Riott Squad were essentially disbanded following Liv Morgan’s move to SmackDown Live post-Superstar Shake-Up, that only leaves Sarah Logan as a potential representative for the group on Monday Night RAW.

WWE has yet to really utilize either Logan or Morgan on their respective brands since the Shake-Up took place.

Paige Criticizes Riott Squad’s Handling Of Liv Morgan’s Injury, Morgan Responds

Two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, Liv Morgan suffered a nasty injury on live WWE TV. During a match between The Bella Twins & Natalya against The Riott Squadd, Morgan was knocked unconscious. Brie Bella hit Morgan in the face with a “YES! Kick” and Morgan crumbled over and knocked out.

Morgan was dragged to her corner and tagged out of the match. She jumped back in and participated in a Triple Suplex before being taken to the back and undergoing medical attention. SmackDown Live General Manager Paige took to former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s podcast, Chasing Glory, to offer her thoughts. The former Divas Champion doesn’t think Brie would ever intentionally hurt anyone:

“I feel so bad for Brie,” Paige said. “She’s never hurt anyone, it’s the first time she hurt some and she gets blamed for it? Come on dude, it’s an accident. Liv doesn’t blame her. The thing I didn’t like about it is the fact her teammates brought her back in the ring to do a suplex when everyone knew she was knocked out. That’s the thing I don’t like.”

Paige then criticized The Riott Squad for not taking care of their partner better:

“Ruby and Sarah, take care of your teammate. You see that she got hurt, don’t let her back in the ring again. Referee, don’t let her back in the ring again.”

Liv Morgan then took to Twitter, seemingly responding to Paige’s podcast comments and firing back at her:

What do you make of Paige’s comments and Morgan’s response?

Liv Morgan Comments On Getting Cleared For Super Show Down

Following a week full of rumors and speculations, Riott Squad member Liv Morgan finally got cleared to compete at the upcoming Super Show Down event yesterday.

After the news broke out, The Mirror spoke with the trio, and during the interview, they talked about their upcoming bout against the Bella Twins and Ronda Rousey and more.

Talking about her injury, Morgan said that she is 100% cleared by the WWE doctors and she went on to praise the medical staff, saying that they took great care of her:

“I’m 100% cleared by the WWE doctors; they took great care of me. They have a very extensive concussion protocol, which we followed 100% and luckily I am feeling fantastic and we are ready to win.”

Continuing on the topic, Liv also commented on their upcoming match claiming that they’d teach their opponents a lesson and teach them whose locker room this is.

Liv Morgan suffered a concussion after she received some botched Yes kicks from Brie Bella during the September 24th episode of Raw.

Brie received a lot of criticism after the incident online, but stars like Daniel Bryan, Corey Graves, and Tommy Dreamer have since defended the former Champion.

Liv Morgan, along with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan is now scheduled to face The Bella Twins and Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at the upcoming Super Show Down event this Saturday.
