Liv Morgan recently expressed her disappointment over WWE’s decision to reduce live event shows, commonly known as house shows.
Speaking with the New York Post, Morgan shared her sadness, noting that house shows offer a more intimate, enjoyable experience for both the wrestlers and the fans.
She explained that these non-televised events are purely for the “love of wrestling.”
Morgan, the current WWE Women’s World Champion, lamented the fact that newer talents won’t get the same opportunities to gain valuable experience at house shows as she did. She said:
“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. House shows are for the love of the art of wrestling, performing, and being with the fans and interacting with fans on a more intimate level.
Also for me, I feel like that’s when I got good, having so many reps on these live events in 2017, ’18, ’19. I was doing every single live event. But it helped me get so much better because I was getting all these reps.
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 (those) reps at live events under (their) belt but it is what it is. Time home is always nice. We spend so much time away from family and friends. It’s nice, but I do love live events.”
Morgan’s comments reflect her deep appreciation for the role these live events played in her development, helping her evolve as a performer.
For her, the reduction of house shows marks a loss of valuable opportunities for WWE’s rising stars.
