Liv Morgan's marijuana arrest incident sheds light on her struggles

WWE star Liv Morgan found herself in the spotlight for an unexpected reason due to a recent arrest for marijuana possession in Florida. While such incidents often lead to backstage turmoil, the latest report suggests that WWE is taking a surprisingly nonchalant approach to the situation.

According to a new report from Fightful Select, there’s no backstage heat on Liv Morgan following her marijuana-related arrest. The WWE staff reportedly communicated that the incident didn’t interfere with creative plans and Morgan was transparent about the situation. As a result, WWE has shown no signs of displeasure indicating a relatively lenient stance on the matter.

Sources reveal that Morgan’s amiable personality has played a role in diffusing any potential tension. Described as well-liked by many within the company, it’s suggested that the incident might even become a passing joke among colleagues eventually fading into the background.

The arrest unfolded as Morgan’s vehicle was pulled over in Florida leading to a deputy’s search prompted by the scent of marijuana. Subsequently, a small plastic bag containing marijuana and a vape pen with an oil-like substance later confirmed to be marijuana was reportedly discovered. Morgan was promptly released on bail Thursday night around 10 PM.

Marijuana usage has long been a contentious issue within WWE with legends like Bret Hart vocal about restrictions during the ’90s. In modern times, superstars like Matt Riddle and Randy Orton have expressed their dissent against such regulations. Despite the ongoing restrictions in WWE’s Wellness Policy, reports from last year indicated a lack of active enforcement with fines being the extent of the consequences for positive tests set at $2500.

Liv Morgan’s recent arrest adds an unexpected layer to her hiatus from in-ring action. Sidelined since July due to a shoulder injury sustained on “WWE Raw,” Morgan’s absence took a dramatic turn when she was attacked by Rhea Ripley in a storyline to write her off television. This incident followed her earlier injury to the opposite shoulder forcing her and Raquel Rodriguez to vacate the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
