Liv Morgan Suffered ‘Survivor’s Guilt’ In WWE After Ruby Soho’s Release

Liv Morgan has seen a significant amount of growth over the past couple of years. She has truly come into her own as a WWE Superstar, and fans have truly been happy for her development in general. She also suffered survivor’s guilt in WWE for a sad reason.

Morgan began her career as part of the Riott Squad alongside Ruby Soho, who was known as Ruby Riott in WWE. Riott was released by WWE on June 2nd last year, shocking fans.

While speaking with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Liv Morgan talked about Ruby Soho getting released from WWE. Morgan admitted that she suffered survivor’s guilt after Soho’s release.

“I get like chills thinking about it. She calls me and she’s like, ‘I just got fired.’ And I live on a farm and I don’t get cell service. So in that moment, I was like, ‘Oh, me too, like, if they fired Ruby, they fired, they fired me.’ And so I’m kind of just sitting there like waiting to get the phone call or the text. And then I’m like, ‘I’m on the farm, I’m not gonna get the phone call because I don’t get cell service.’ So I’m just sitting there like thinking like, I’m fired, too. And then I have Ruby, you know what I mean? So we’re both just shocked. We don’t know what to say. It’s just very, very, very, very surreal.

And then I’m like, ‘Do I call work and like ask if I’m fired?’ I just didn’t see why they would let her go and not me. I didn’t understand it. So the whole time I’m thinking, ‘I’m fired too.’ And I’m kind of just like settling and like, ‘Okay. You know, maybe, like, I guess we’ll be a team, right? I don’t know.’ And then I wasn’t fired. And I’m so grateful that I wasn’t, but in that moment, it was almost worse, that I wasn’t also fired.

Just because I think I had accepted it also because I had thought like, for 25 minutes that I was also fired. So I think I like accepted it right away. Then when I found out that it was just Ruby, I don’t know, just my best friend. That’s my sister, and she’s in so much pain right now that it just hurt my heart and I almost wish that I could like share it or take it from her or at least be like, ‘Dude, me too. It’s okay.’ You know? I don’t know, I don’t know. 

I didn’t want her to feel like I was better than her because I don’t believe that, you know. So, I just I didn’t know how to handle my best friend, who I’m in a tag team with being let go and me still being here.

Really bad. Really bad survivor’s guilt. I didn’t know what to do. And then going to work that first week was so weird. I walk in with Ruby every single day. We walk around the halls together. We’re together all the time. It was so weird. But then, you know, everything just kept moving. And she’s doing great. I’m so happy for her. Love you Ru. She’s doing great.”

Morgan also wants to prove her critics wrong with her match against Ronda Rousey at WWE SummerSlam. It remains to be seen whether Morgan will retain her title at SummerSlam or not.
