Even at the top of WWE’s card, pre-match nerves don’t disappear — and Liv Morgan is proof of that. The former Women’s World Champion has opened up about the anxiety she experiences before stepping out in front of a WWE crowd, revealing that the nerves can hit hard enough to make her physically ill backstage before her matches.
Morgan noted that Dominik Mysterio has witnessed her throwing up ahead of matches on more than one occasion. It’s a candid admission that speaks to just how seriously she takes her performances, regardless of how polished her in-ring presence looks once the cameras are rolling.
The two have been a fixture together on WWE television since 2024, their on-screen partnership giving Mysterio a front-row seat to moments most colleagues never see. That kind of behind-the-scenes access has clearly forged a close working relationship, and Morgan’s willingness to talk about it publicly adds a layer of authenticity to their pairing that fans don’t always get to see.
It’s a reminder that even performers who project total confidence — and Morgan has made an art form out of her current cocky, villainous persona — are often dealing with real pressure beneath the surface. The fact that she channels that anxiety into consistently high-profile performances is a testament to how far she’s come in her WWE career. For Morgan, apparently, the nerves never go away; she just goes out there anyway.
