Liv Morgan was arrested in Florida on Thursday, December 14, for possession of marijuana and a vape pen with liquid marijuana.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Morgan isn’t facing internal repercussions or backstage heat.
According to a WWE staff member, there is “absolutely no heat on Morgan…Liv has not been on TV, did not alter creative plans, and was honest about the situation. There are no issues with her whatsoever.”
Several top WWE executives were aware of the arrest and spoke with Morgan shortly after. The news of the arrest was not widely known in WWE before it became public yesterday. The information was originally kept in a small circle.
It is to be noted that Morgan has a clean history with WWE – no prior drug test failures or misconduct issues. She enjoys a positive reputation within WWE and is described as a well-liked, honest, and hard-working individual.
Additionally, a top WWE talent, “Everybody liked Liv before, everybody still likes Liv. We’ll get our jokes off, and she’ll get hers off and nobody will be thinking about it soon enough.”
While marijuana is one of the restricted substances for the WWE Wellness Policy, the billion-dollar company has not tested for it for years. A failed drug test for marijuana previously resulted in a $2,500 fine.
According to the report, WWE had already planned Morgan’s return before her arrest. She was expected to return on the Road To WrestleMania 40 and be in the mix for a “high-profile program.” Morgan has been out of action since July due to a shoulder injury.
WWE is now waiting for the legal process to play out. Morgan’s arraignment is scheduled for February 2024 in Sumter County, Florida. The legal proceedings regarding the arrest are ongoing, and the outcome might ultimately influence WWE’s long-term stance.
