Liv Morgan made clear she is battered but ready in a new interview ahead of WrestleMania 42.
Speaking to ESPN on April 15, Morgan addressed concerns about her condition following the head collision that put both her and Roxanne Perez in concussion protocol after the April 6 episode of Raw. She confirmed she is still on track to challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 42.
She delivered her update with the kind of confidence that has defined her current run.
"I'm doing so much better than I'm looking — thank you for asking. I think that people who accuse wrestling of being fake are ill-informed. You cannot fake this bruising. You cannot fake this swelling. But I'm doing well — and Stephanie Vaquer is so lucky that I'm still pretty," Morgan said.
The confirmation puts to rest fears that the Women's World Championship match could be in jeopardy following the brutal collision that occurred when Vaquer ambushed Morgan from behind, sending her crashing into Perez. The visible bruising and swelling Morgan referenced underlined just how physical the incident was.
Morgan was part of a brawl with Vaquer during the April 13 edition of Raw, making her WrestleMania status clear through actions as much as words.
Morgan won the Women's Royal Rumble earlier this year and selected Vaquer as her WrestleMania opponent, setting up a title match she has described as the payoff for eleven years of work in WWE. WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
