WWE star Liv Morgan opens up about dealing with imposter syndrome.
At just 29 years old, already has an impressive resume under her belt in WWE, and the former “WWE SmackDown” Women’s Champion has years remaining to continue establishing her legacy. Despite her accomplishments, Morgan recently went on “The Bump” and admitted that she previously grappled with imposter syndrome in WWE.
“My biggest hurdle was just feeling like I never had the credentials to fulfill what I needed to do here,” Morgan said. “I came from nothing. I’m not a generational superstar. I don’t have a crazy sports background. I just adored WWE with every fiber of my being, so I always just had imposter syndrome, like there’s no way I’ll be good enough.”
Morgan described dealing with that doubt as the “biggest battle” she’s had to confront in her WWE career thus far. Over time and with a tremendous deal of effort, Morgan was able to overcome those worries and get to a place where she can now comfortably offer advice to young fans. Rather than striving to convey an image of superstardom, Morgan strives to let girls know that they can grow up to be in a position exactly like her.
“I want you to know that I was literally you,” Morgan concluded. “I just hope that they look at me and feel that genuinely. And not just like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can never be that.’ It’s like, ‘No, I promise you. You really, really can.'”
After missing much of last year due to an injury, Morgan returned in January’s Women’s Royal Rumble bout. For the second year in a row, Morgan was the last person to be eliminated. Following her loss in the Women’s Elimination Chamber in February, Morgan doesn’t presently have a bout lined up for WWE WrestleMania 40, though that could change.
