WWE stars cross over onto FOX’s hit cooking competition
Summary
– Liv Morgan, Big E, and Braun Strowman appear on the January 1 episode of Hell’s Kitchen
– The episode was filmed during Morgan’s title reign and Strowman’s WWE tenure
– Hell’s Kitchen promoted the appearance ahead of its FOX broadcast
Several WWE names stepped outside the ring and into a different kind of battleground on the January 1 episode of Hell’s Kitchen on FOX. Liv Morgan, Big E, and Braun Strowman were featured as special guests alongside host Gordon Ramsay.
Promotional photos revealed that the episode was filmed earlier than its air date. Morgan is shown holding the WWE Women’s World Championship, indicating the appearance took place while she was still reigning as champion.
The footage also includes Braun Strowman, who exited WWE in July 2025 after his contract was not renewed. This places the episode as a snapshot of a WWE lineup that no longer exists in real time.
Hell’s Kitchen officially promoted the appearance on social media, emphasizing the intensity of the competition rather than the wrestling crossover. The focus was placed on Black Jacket Day, a pivotal moment in the season.
The promotional post included a group photo of Ramsay standing with Morgan, Big E, and Strowman. The crossover offers fans a rare look at WWE stars in a completely different setting.
It’s black jacket day! 💪🔥
