It seems a lifetime since we last saw Liv Morgan on Raw or Smackdown, but the anticipation has been high ahead of her return to television. Fans were given a sneak peek into what they can expect to see from Morgan when she returns on Raw last night.
The vignette aired during the broadcast, and it is fair to say that not all members of the WWE Universe were thrilled with what was teased. With some already comparing Morgan to an ‘Emmalina’ type character.
Cryptic Messages On Social
Morgan may have been off television for the last number of months, but that hasn’t stopped her from posting cryptic tweets. Fans have loved this new side to her, and there was a feeling that something special could have been on the horizon for the 25-year-old.
Unless there is a 180-degree turn, then fans may end up being disappointed when she finally makes her re-debut. There is no doubting her in-ring talent, and she deserves a little better than what creative gave her on this vignette.
We haven’t seen Morgan on television since SmackDown earlier in the year. On that night she was beaten by Charlotte Flair. Since then, she hasn’t been used either on television or house shows but was drafted to Raw as the last overall draft pick. After that defeat to Flair, she promised to return better than ever.
Fans Had Other Hopes
With the cryptic tweets and haunting videos that Morgan has been sharing on social media, fans were hoping for something a little different, and they had already put together their dream plan.
That would see Morgan align with the creepy Bray Wyatt in the Firefly Fun House. It could have been a marvellous creative opportunity, which the WWE dropped the ball with. It would have been interesting to see the two superstars bounce off each other, and Morgan has already shown that she can excel when playing an unhinged character.
After all, that is what she has been doing on the main roster ever since debuting with the Riot Squad in 2017. However, unlike Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan, at least there seems to be a plan regarding Morgan. The other two members from the stable seem to have got lost in the crowd since the draft.
What do you make of Morgan’s re-emergence? Time will only tell whether this could be the progression that takes her to the next level.
