UPDATE: PWInsider has additional information on what happened with Liv Morgan following her recent arrest. According to the report, Morgan’s arrest was not widely known in the company before it became public yesteday. Several top company executive were reportedly aware of the arrest and spoke with Morgan the day after it occurred. However, the information was reportedly kept in a small circle.

The report also notes that Morgan was already written in for when she would be coming back into WWE storylines next year. Her arrest is said to be believed to not change those plans. It’s rumored that she was expected to return ahead of the build to WrestleMania 40, and she was reportedly going to be in the mix for a “high-profile program.”

PWInsider also notes that while people within the company want the matter resolved ASAP, her arrest for marijuana possession apparently isn’t hurting her standing within the company. Morgan is said to be well-liked and viewed as a hard worker by WWE, and she’s reportedly not in danger of being released over the arrest either.

The report also states that a story is going around the company that a vape pen was found in her jeep that allegedly contained a synthetic substance, and Morgan was charged in possession for holding. It’s rumored that the vape pen belonged to someone else and was left in Morgan’s jeep. WWE is now reportedly wanting to let the legal process play out. Morgan’s arraignment is currently slated for February 2024 in Sumter County, Florida.

ORIGINAL: As previously reported, WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was arrested on Thursday, December 14 for possession of marijuana. According to an update by Fightful Select, there’s rumored to not be any heat on the former WWE SmackDown and Women’s Tag Team Champion after the arrest.

A WWE staff member said there is “absolutely no heat on Morgan,” with the staffer saying, “Liv has not been on TV, did not alter creative plans, and was honest about the situation. There are no issues with her whatsoever.”

Additionally, a top WWE talent reportedly said to Fightful that Morgan is very well liked in WWE, stating, “Everybody liked Liv before, everybody still likes Liv. We’ll get our jokes off, and she’ll get hers off and nobody will be thinking about it soon enough.”

Another WWE talent reportedly pointed out that Morgan was released from jail on Thursday, and she was already back on X, promoting SmackDown by Friday, which you can view here. Also, while marijuana is one of the restricted substances for the WWE Wellness Policy, the company has reportedly not tested for it for years. A failed drug test for marijuana previously resulted in a $2,500 fine.

Liv Morgan has been out of action since July due to a shoulder injury.
