We were split up, and I was used to being in a tag team for three years. I had people I could rely on. Coming back was all about finding myself and what I wanted to represent. Just seeing what I can do really. It has been a really long journey because I\u2019ve tried to stay as authentic as I can. I feel differently every single day. It has definitely been a roller coaster. I hope everyone has enjoyed the ride because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s anywhere near close to stopping or slowing down. It\u2019s about just being open-minded, trusting the process, trusting yourself and knowing everything h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens for a reason. Even if it\u2019s a ways down the line, you realize everything happens for a reason.

What did you take from those experiences?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those are two top women of the division. When you think of Nattie, Charlotte, Asuka, all the women I\u2019ve had the honor to work in my singles run. Stepping in with the best will only make you better. I\u2019ve worked hard to take what I do in the ring very seriously. I love this more than I ever could describe. When it\u2019s all said and done I want to be considered one of the very best. I try to do my best all the time. I want to consistently get better. I never want to be stagnant and comfortable in my abilities. You can never know it all. You always have to keep learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your initial reaction to the idea of reuniting with Ruby?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I completely blew it off. I was not thinking about it. Seeing Ruby and being on the same show made it hard. Every Monday whether I wanted to talk to her or not, seeing her in the hallway. Whether she was calling or texting, I was very closed-minded. Here I am finally on my own and able to show the world what I can do. Then my long lost best friend was out with double shoulder surgery. [The story goes] she comes to the ring, and I\u2018m thinking she wants to congratulate me. She turned on me. It has been a work in progress and learning how to trust Ruby again. I believe in her. I believe in her intentions and pure. I don\u2019t think she ever wanted to hurt me. I think a lot is unsaid feelings and misunderstanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>At the start, the Riott Squad appeared to be a random pairing. However, you three really became a cohesive unit. Without Sarah Logan, how would you describe the dynamic between you and Ruby?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Riott Squad was the three of us. To not have one of those pieces, it doesn\u2019t feel complete. I talk to Sarah all the time. We\u2019re on a group chat. Ruby and I wear the wolf patch over our ring jackets. That\u2019s for Sarah. The Riott Squad is three women. Right now it\u2019s two. So Ruby and I have been working on a little revamp. You\u2019ll have to keep watching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>When you say revamp, are you open to the idea of having another third member joining the group?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are tons of people who have potential, but the Riott Squad is Ruby, Liv and Sarah. No one else can fill that spot. What I meant by revamp was maybe going through a name change. Something that is more fitting for us now that we are in an equal partnership where Ruby isn\u2019t the leader anymore. That and the fact there isn\u2019t Sarah anymore. So definitely an updated version of us is definitely due. That is what we\u2019re working on now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_950777\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-950777\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-950777 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-1014x570.jpg\" alt=\"Riott Squad \" width=\"1014\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-1014x570.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riot-Squad.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-950777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Viewers of <i>Total Divas <\/i>got to know you more on a deeper level.

A lot of people think of reality TV and want to hide pieces of themselves, which is completely understandable. I wanted to be completely open because I\u2019m not unsure or uncomfortable with myself. I know I have flaws. I knew if I was going to do a reality show, even though I wasn\u2019t a central focus, I just wanted to remain honest as I can be. I know the show reaches a whole different audience and demographic, so I know if people wanted to see me, they would see me for what I was. I\u2019m really just another fan and like everyone else. I wanted people to see that. I\u2019m just a normal 26-year-old trying to figure themselves out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You mention recurring on that show. Any talk of adding you to the main cast? Would that interest you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a very tedious schedule. When they\u2019re filming, they\u2019re filming the entire day. I\u2019m open to it for sure if they wanted me on. I\u2019d do it because I had a great time with the girls. It was something different than I\u2019ve ever done before. I definitely would be open to it if it was a thing, but who knows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe the landscape of the women\u2019s division right now? There are fans who clamor for another <i>Evolution <\/i>show or <i>Mae Young Classic<\/i>. At the same time, there is this push for equality and equal representation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think women\u2019s wrestling is just as prominent and hot as it has ever been the last couple of years. I don\u2019t think it has slowed down. I personally don\u2019t feel like I am shunned for any time or anything like that. I definitely would love to see another <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evolution <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">though. I hope that is something in the works. The first one did so well and was such a good and special show. I hope we have another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a dream opponent if there was another one? There were a number of legends participating in the last time and even in this year\u2019s <i>Royal Rumble<\/i>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d love to defend our WWE women\u2019s tag team titles against Lita and Trish Stratus. I think Ruby and myself versus those two would be awesome. Maybe a TLC match or in a steel cage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019d be great. Staying on the subject of titles, what would winning your first championship in WWE mean to you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Becoming a champion is everyone\u2019s goal because it means you are considered one of the best at what you do at that particular time. It\u2019s what the championship is supposed to represent. I feel like for me, it would be a confirmation of everything I\u2019ve wanted. I\u2019ve been a lifelong fan. It has been such a dream of mine. Winning the titles would bring everything full circle. You would then see a different side of Liv. One who feels validated in everything she has fought for because she has the championship to prove it. We are so looking forward to this. Even if we don\u2019t get it on Sunday, which we totally are, we won\u2019t stop until we get them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_950776\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-950776\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-950776 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan-570x570.jpg\" alt=\"Liv Morgan \" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan-289x289.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Liv-Morgan.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-950776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>We are seeing Retribution causing anarchy on <em>Raw<\/em>.

They\u2019re definitely on our radar. We have to be prepared at all times. We know there is nothing they wouldn\u2019t do.
