Liv Morgan’s shocking betrayal of John Cena at Survivor Series remains one of the most talked-about moments of the past year. The former Women’s World Champion, who has publicly admitted to being a massive Cena fan in her youth, stunned the audience when she turned on “The Leader of the Cenation,” delivering a low blow that allowed Dominik Mysterio to recapture the Intercontinental Title.
“I Got Smarter. I Got Wiser.”
In a recent interview with Brad Gilmore, Morgan was asked about the emotional weight of sharing the ring with her childhood hero, only to attack him. Staying completely true to her current villainous persona, Morgan explained that her priorities simply shifted as she matured.
“You know, back in the day growing up a WWE fan, I obviously was a John Cena fan. I was like number one Chain Gang soldier. Loved John Cena,” Morgan confessed. “But then, you know, I grew up. I got smarter. I got wiser. I realized that Dominik Mysterio is the real [chef’s kiss gesture] in WWE.”
Morgan described the attack as a “full circle moment,” prioritizing her on-screen boyfriend’s success over her past fandom. “To go from a fan of John Cena to kicking him right in the…, helping Daddy Dom win, regain his championship in his hometown of San Diego, it was so special to me, and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world,” she stated proudly. She callously added that simply being in the ring with two superstars “should be good enough” for the 17-time world champion.
