Liv Morgan has looked back on her time in The Riott Squad and how at first she did not want to be part of a group.
First making a name for herself in NXT, Morgan was called up to the main roster in late 2017 alongside Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott. However, while Morgan was part of the trio on the main roster, her time in developmental saw her predominantly as a solo star.
Speaking with Kenny McIntosh for Issue 51 of Inside The Ropes Magazine, Morgan looked back on her time in The Riott Squad, admitting that she was not that excited about the idea at first:
“Way more important for my development than I thought or knew at the time. I remember I was actually a little bit upset, in a way, just because I didn’t view myself as a tag team wrestler, I viewed myself as a singles competitor. Also, I was only a singles competitor up until that time, so I wasn’t too excited at the thought of it, even though I was so excited at the thought of finally being on RAW or SmackDown.”
“I Couldn’t Be More Grateful And Thankful”: Liv Morgan On The Riott Squad
When asked if it took long to adjust being in a group, Morgan responded that the trio clicked immediately and that she wouldn’t be where she is today without them:
“Right away. I just clicked with Ruby and Sarah so fast. When you look at the three of us, we couldn’t look more different. But once we got to spend so much time together and peel back the layers, we realised we were way more similar than we ever could have guessed. So we created a true sisterhood, and I learned so much from Ruby and Sarah.
They both had been wrestling for years before me, and I definitely didn’t think I knew it all by any means. I still don’t think I know s—t really. But I just thought that I didn’t need them, and I learned super fast just how much I did, and how valuable and important they’d be to me and my career and my development because I got to learn so much from them, and I got to lean on them. I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful for them.”
Additionally, Liv Morgan reflected on the night she felt truly validated as a WWE Superstar.
