Royal Rumble winner explains her stance on social media backlash
Summary
– Liv Morgan clarifies comments about ignoring online criticism
– Says she values feedback from Triple H and trusted peers
– Set to challenge for gold at WrestleMania 42
Liv Morgan is setting the record straight after her recent remarks about online criticism sparked conversation across the wrestling world.
Earlier this month, Morgan stated that unless someone signs her paycheck, their opinion does not carry weight in her decision-making. The comment quickly went viral, prompting some fans to question whether she was dismissing her supporters.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Morgan clarified her stance and emphasized that she respects the audience. She explained that her focus remains on the people directly involved in her career, including Triple H, producers, and trusted peers. Constructive feedback from those she works with matters, while random online opinions do not dictate her path.
Morgan compared criticism to personal taste, noting that even the most appealing product will not satisfy everyone. She stressed that her mindset is not rooted in disrespect but in understanding that universal approval is unrealistic. That perspective keeps her grounded and focused on performance.
Momentum continues to build for Morgan after winning the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match. WrestleMania 42 looms, where she will challenge either Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer or WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. A tense confrontation on Raw recently saw Vaquer get under Morgan’s skin, adding more fuel to an already heated road to the biggest stage of the year.
