WWE star Liv Morgan discussed her early wrestling career, backstage disagreements, injuries and life on her farm during an appearance on Hot Ones released Thursday, Oct. 8.
Morgan joined host Sean Evans for the show’s spicy wing challenge, which also included a discussion of her changing opinion of the television series Boy Meets World.
Morgan recently made a cameo during CM Punk’s appearance on Netflix’s Hot Ones: Extra Heat and previously appeared on Hot Ones: Versus with Dominik Mysterio. Cody Rhodes also took on the challenge in an August 2025 episode covered by DMV Wrestling News.
Morgan recalled that her first days in WWE developmental involved more watching than wrestling. At the time, new recruits were required to spend 30 days observing before they were permitted to enter a WWE ring.
“Honestly, day one starting, it was a lot of kind of just like shut up and keep your eyes open, you know?” Morgan said. “Like we’re not even allowed in the ring for 30 days, back in my day when I started. Like you were not allowed to even step foot in the WWE ring. You had to like sit and watch on the sidelines.”
Morgan said the experience taught her an important lesson about how to approach her training.
“So I just remember learning to shut the f— up. Really,” she said.
Morgan also discussed the physical demands of professional wrestling and said she takes pride in the injuries she has sustained during her career.
“I think it’s an asset. I, like, am proud of them because I’m like, this is literally, like, what we’re putting our bodies through for your entertainment,” Morgan said. “But I also like the physicality of it. I kind of like the violence a little bit. I’m a little bit of like a masochist in that kind of way.”
She said she generally accepts the injuries that come with wrestling, although one particular injury was an exception.
“But, you know, the hematoma is only the injury I’ve had that I was like, I’m not happy about this,” Morgan said.
The conversation also addressed legitimate disagreements between professional wrestlers and how those conflicts can affect their performances.
“I’ve seen scenarios where there is a lack of respect and it translates in the ring in weird ways,” Morgan said. “Where you can tell that they do not like each other. They are not working together.”
Morgan said those disputes sometimes become apparent during promotional segments when wrestlers make comments that were never intended to be part of the show.
“Or their promo segments where they are saying things that are not on script. That are not in like kayfabe, you know, and it doesn’t end well,” she said.
Although Morgan acknowledged that personal disagreements occur in professional wrestling, she said they should not prevent performers from working together.
“You know, ultimately things get patched up, but I like to think that if someone doesn’t like me, they know I’m gonna give them an amazing match regardless at the end of the day, and so they’re not worried about whatever issues that we’re having,” Morgan said.
Away from wrestling, Morgan discussed the difficulties of maintaining her farm, including an incident in which hawks attacked her chickens.
Morgan said the first attack was particularly upsetting because she had allowed the chickens to roam freely.
“I cried like a baby,” Morgan said, describing her reaction to losing one of the birds.
She also described discovering two newborn squirrels in her gym the night before recording the episode. Morgan said she asked her mother to contact wildlife officials to collect the animals because she was leaving the following morning for the interview.
Later in the episode, Morgan discussed revisiting Boy Meets World, the ABC sitcom that aired from 1993 to 2000.
Morgan said she once considered Cory Matthews an ideal romantic partner for Topanga Lawrence but now views the character differently.
“I thought Cory was like so romantic, such a good guy. Great guy for Topanga,” Morgan said.
Watching the series as an adult changed her opinion, particularly regarding Topanga’s decision to forgo attending Yale.
Morgan described Cory as manipulative and toxic, although she still considers the series part of the nostalgic appeal of coming-of-age television programs.
The episode also featured Morgan’s reaction to Da Bomb, one of the show’s notoriously hot sauces, as she continued through the progressively hotter wings.
