Liv Morgan – I’m Sad That TKO Is Cutting Back On WWE Live Events

As the reigning WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan is one of the most featured stars on TV and is regularly afforded screen time on Monday Night Raw. Liv can also be found at WWE’s live events but is far from happy about TKO’s reported plans to reduce the number of these untelevised shows.

TKO President Mark Shapiro told those at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference this month that WWE will be cutting down on the number of its “low-margin marginally profitable, untelevised events,” and predicts that just 200 events will happen next year, compared to over 300 in 2022. Speaking to the New York Post, Morgan shared her disappointment over the news.

“I’m sad to see them kind of go a little bit because the house shows are so much fun and it’s so so much more intimate. House shows are truly for the love of the game.”

Morgan added that it was at untelevised events in 2017, 18, and 19 that she truly came into her own as an in-ring talent, something that younger stars won’t have the same opportunity to do moving forward.

“I’m sad to see that go for the newer guys and girls coming in who aren’t going to be able to have that experience and have that reps at live events under that belt but it is what is. Time home is always nice.”

While WWE live events have been a staple for decades, TKO is focusing on its profit margin and believes live events aren’t just profitable enough. While live events will remain a fixture going forward, it may prove increasingly unlikely that WWE will roll up in your hometown.

As for Liv Morgan,her next major match will be broadcast and come at WWE Bad Blood where she’ll face Rhea Ripley with the Women’s World Championship on the line. Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage, theoretically keeping him from interfering despite an alleged fear of heights.
