Liv Morgan has been in every Women’s Royal Rumble match since the event was introduced in 2018 — and winning it this year hit differently because of that history. Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Morgan reflected on what the victory meant after years of coming close.
“I’ve been in every single Royal Rumble since we started doing these in 2018. I’ve had every position in that match. I’ve come out first, I’ve come out last, I’ve had the fastest elimination time, I’ve had the shortest elimination. And to finally be the bride and not the bridesmaid this year — and not only that, but to solidify myself a WrestleMania spot where I was able to pick a champion of my choosing — none of that is lost on me,” she said.

The emotion hit immediately after the win. “Nothing’s promised in this business. Those moments where you’re quite literally not only living your dream, but you’re accomplishing and succeeding at such a high level, it just makes me emotional because I’m just so proud. To win the Royal Rumble with a roster so stacked of incredible, talented women, and for it to be me — I was just really proud and happy, and I just felt vindicated.” Morgan also called her surprise return at Survivor Series — where she low-blowed John Cena — one of the best moments of her career. She heads into WrestleMania 42 for her eighth consecutive appearance at the Show of Shows, challenging Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship.
