In short

Liv Morgan discusses her WrestleMania 42 singles match on the main show for the first time in her career, her mindset after injury, and how she’s learned to stay present with fans’ reactions (including boos). She also talks about live-event culture, props going wrong, and her recent “Trouble” music video and Paper Magazine cover.

Guest(s)

Liv Morgan, WWE superstar and “my mate in the crown.” Background: two-time world champion, four-time tag team champion, Royal Rumble winner, and WWE’s current momentum heading into WrestleMania; she credits WWE for changing her life and her sister Raquel for helping her through a major injury. Other people mentioned: Craig Schuster (podcast host/producer), Carla (On Location), Sean and Finn (On Location regulars), and Raquel (Liv’s sister/best friend).

Key claims

She’s “letting blessings come” after injury rather than pushing for more; fans are “ride or die” and she appreciates support even when she’s booed; her WrestleMania match will be “aggressive” and “feral.”

Notable examples

Madison Square Garden NXT entrance where a pizza slice fell and she ate it after; WrestleMania success via Money in the Bank cash-in on Ronda Rousey; injury recovery shaped by Raquel’s “when you have no faith” advice; “Trouble” video shot in two days after choreography camp.

1:01hey hey oh thank you i love you too thank you appreciate it um this is uh history as well i shot a few people out i don't know where he's at out here but this is the first time we have ever done. What do you want to talk about? Live. So you guys are all part of history? That man right there, that's Craig Schuster. Stand up, Craig. Stand up. Craig runs this podcast. There he is.

1:29Do you mind? We are in the wonderful 8th Cigar Bar and Lounge. This is where we shot the Cigar Aficionado cover, so if people are smoking, that's what we do in here. So yeah!

1:48Yeah, where's Carla at? We also, our friends at On Location are putting all these fun things on. Carla, where's she at? That's Carla. She puts all this together.

2:05So Carla got a chant, Craig, nothing, huh? Yeah. Well, we'll get right to it. This is the first time we've done this live. I am so excited for a multitude of reasons. Again, this is What Do You Want to Talk About, a Fanatics and WWE original production. We have some cocktails provided by our good friends at Wheatley American Vodka. And once again, please, round of applause for 8 Cigar Bar and Lounge for letting us do this.

2:34And our guest, our guest today, someone I have wanted on the podcast for quite some time. She's a two-time world champion. She's a four-time tag team champion. She is my mate in the crown. That's right. Soon to be three-time, my mate in the crown jewel championship, overly-sized, obnoxious, giant title that my friend bought back there for how much money? Jeez. And she also won the Royal Rumble. Please welcome to What Do You Want to Talk About? Liv Morgan.

3:41Oh, man. There you go. I feel like a lot of Liv Morgan fans here tonight, eh?

3:53Liv Morgan in a major, major, major match this weekend. I assume we all know she will be coming back to What Do You Want to Talk About? As we said, three times. Three times. Three times. I hope so. Liv, I see you have a cocktail there. What do you got? This is called, believe it or not, this is called The Oblivion. Walk me through it. What is in The Oblivion?

4:24America Wheatley Vodka. American Wheatley Vodka! Yes! I think there's Sprite in here and Blackberry Juice and Grenadine. Just a bunch of things. All the things. I have to squeeze the lime, though, and I want the cherry in there, so I just have to put this down for a second. You know what? I'm getting all stuck in my pants. You guys are making me nervous. While you're prepping here, here is a lesson that many wrestlers learn on the fly, and we teach at the Nightmare Factory. You can probably say this has happened to you. Maybe it hasn't. The prop in wrestling almost always defeats the wrestler.

5:03Whether it's, oh, I'm going to cut this awesome promo, but I'm carrying the title plus this thing and then it's on the wrong side or I've seen guys who forget how to take shades off when they're you know what like they put them on their whole life but don't know do you ever had a moment where the prop defeated live yeah it actually my pants are killing me right now but um when I was in NXT it was my first show at Madison Square Garden and oh thank you and I came out I thought it was like such a good idea to come out with a slice of pizza just because like New York City you know um so I come out with a slice of pizza in the box and I'm like doing my entrance and the pizza falls and hits the ground and I'm getting like booed and I was like oh shit so I just like picked up the pizza and I just like started eating and then they cheered me and then I just ate this dirty ass pizza off like the MSG theater floor but yeah so the prop beat me that time thank you there's a a moment where i thought i brought something i was at ovw i brought we were at a elk's lodge does anyone know what it but it was i'll be honest they don't run these shows anymore to nxt this was an ovw only moment but it was a all men's 18 and up very strange show i don't i don't know what wwe at the time if they knew about what was happening but it was you know a lot of male energy and i was in this tag team with sean spears and it felt like and i'm 20 years old if i walked out there with a beer in my hand that they'd think like that was cool and so i can't yell i can't say what the guy yelled at me but I walked out and we came out to I believe in a thing called Love by Darkness, the band and it's already we were like the pretty boy tag team and I had the beer in my hand and epic booze and a lot of slanderous things said because in hindsight it didn't look cool at all it was the most try hard, like look at me, I have a beer what kind of beer is it?

7:09Probably like a Chorus Light yeah it was A duals. Yeah, it was a bad call on my behalf. I've noticed there's some things on this pod that I'll say, oh, I didn't think I was going to ask that. And it's become people who, do you guys, is everyone familiar with the podcast or is this your first time? Oh, great. I didn't think it was going to be the first thing I was going to ask you, but I feel like asking. Hey, hey. What's something, and again, we're with our friends from On Location. This is just for us. And thank you guys all for being here. I feel like I always want somebody to ask me this and maybe it's not the right question but what's something that people don't know or misunderstand about Liv Morgan that you'd like them to know

7:57honestly nothing not in like a rude way I just feel like you guys are entitled to your opinions so whether they like love me or hate me you can feel the way that you want to feel and I feel like I don't really feel the need to explain myself, I guess. Not in a rude way. I know that sounds like really cold. But I don't know. Well, I think this whole room loves you. Thank you. Well, you can explain yourself, and then you can still be misinterpreted and misconstrued. So I will just let the cards lay where they are and move on with my day. Okay. You are. She is how she is, y 'all. Mm-hmm.

8:38I think I started saying this recently because it's easy. I think when you hear talent or part of the roster, they'll say, oh, I don't mind when they boo. And then you can tell, I think you do. It's harder when you're maybe getting a different reaction than you thought or whatnot. but where I've kind of landed on it to a little bit echo what you just said is you guys come to these events and I know many of you we've been on a lot of these on locations together you guys come to these events and you have something specific that you want you want to cheer for something you want to do something there's an emotional need who knows that you are entitled to and it's your hard-earned money coming to these shows you're allowed to do whatever the heck you want and I just now kind of discovered that that might mean booing me on occasion.

9:36And thank you, this group. And I'm okay with it. But it really did take a good amount of time to realize, and especially with everything that's happened with my match, and all that, it's taken me a long time to realize that in the end, I just want to be there. And I asked Sean and Finn, where are they at? Sean, Finn, there they are. These are two are our friend Sean Finn, regular on location. We could do better than that, right?

10:05I asked them a question when we talked last about what it is when you come to these events, especially when you come so frequently and you're so passionate about what we do, what it is that you want to see from us and what we can do more for you. And I'm going to ask you here as our guest on the very first live, what do you want to talk about? what is your favorite thing about the fans that you have who are incredibly dedicated and committed to you they are ride or die I swear I feel like I truly appreciate I feel like there's so many moments in my career for like long bursts of time where I feel like I didn't necessarily like give my fans anything to be proud of and they still just are so loud for me online in arenas like the support I truly truly truly feel it like they stand 10 toes down for me yeah no matter what I do and um I I feel that love so thank you oh yeah

11:12you know I feel this the the love in regards to your fans too because when they uh I think they came up with a hashtag for you and Stephanie when my match was collapsing on live air for the whole world to see. There was a hashtag going around. Are you mad at it? No, but the funny part, I'm tagged in it. They're trying to let you know. I'm an innocent bystander and all of it. I know. Cody's innocent, y 'all. Thank you so much. Thank you. but I really enjoyed it and it's a time where you can tell there's a difference and to your fans I'm sure you've seen it there's a difference when it's just specifically on X and really it's just on Instagram it's a difference when it permeates into the live audience and with yours they've really permeated into the live audience and they're as like you said ride or die yeah I feel like I owe a lot of my success to them just for showing up for me in those moments where I feel like I was stagnant and not really doing so much but they still showed up for me.

12:14Well, you said something about, you said when was the moment that you felt you had done right? And I'm thinking about Money in the Bank specifically, and I don't know if that's a moment for you, but this Money in the Bank, you're getting the briefcase and cashing in. It's all happening. Yeah, I feel like Money in the Bank was my first, that was my first accomplishment in WWE was winning Money in the Bank and cashing in on Ronda Rousey the same night to become the SmackDown Women's Champion. Like that was my first ever like taste of success really. And so I was very proud of that. I'm like proud of being able to like share that with the fans that stuck by me.

12:48But I feel like right now is, I feel like my fans are thriving right now. Do you know? We just released a music video. We got the cover of Paper Magazine. We won the Royal Rumble. We are heading into WrestleMania and gonna, you know, become the new women's world champion. so I feel like my fans are eating up right now and I'm doing it for y 'all so thank you I noticed in the meet and greet you were saying some things that I don't I don't know you ate that yeah you ate that is like it's like you ate that like you just I don't know it's just like consumed, it's everything you did that, like you did that like your outfit, like you ate that you did that, yeah it's good It's good.

13:38It's good. I ate that, y 'all. Yeah. Everyone in the Live March, like, you ate that. The undisputed WWE Championship title is mine, and I don't plan on giving it up.

15:04Um, never.

15:10Um, I am, I know it's going to be aggressive and I know it's going to be like feral. And that's the only thing I really know about it. Um, I just know that she's going to try to beat the shit out of me and I'm going to beat the shit out of her. and um that's really it i'm really trying to just like stay present every moment leading into this wrestlemania prep and leading into this match it's my first singles match on the main show of wrestlemania for the first time in my career yeah that's great i'm so excited i'm so excited and i'm so grateful thank you my whole family is going to be there and so i'm just uh i'm just trying to just do what I know.

15:55Is there like an earthquake happening? Do you hear all the rumblings outside? Is there an earthquake? Is it just me? It's rumbling out there. I can feel it in my seat. No, it's the energy of what do you want to talk about? Wow. I know. Is that a sign? Is that a sign? No, it really is though. There's like rumbling outside. I'll tell you if I feel it again because it's a lot. So I'm at this point in my life though where I feel bad saying this but maybe this is something that comes with the dad life. I don't hear, smell, or feel anything. You know what I mean? Like somebody be like, you smell that?

16:32Like, no. Why? No, I don't know. Or like, do you remember that? Like, no. Why can't you smell though? I think this could sound way big of an overshare. I think years of abusing Afrin. I don't know, but there's like a whole The whole room of people would be like, do you smell that? And you have to be like, yeah. What's Afrin? Afrin's like a nose spray. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it's not good. Mom, Afrin is not good. No? This is my mother, by the way. This is your...

17:06She ate that. You ate... Speaking of, you have your family. Yeah. Your family's coming. This is the first time. Singles match? Yeah. Yeah, I had one with Natty on the pre-show during the pandemic, and that was obviously a blessing. It's a very different experience to have that match in front of no one in the Thunderdome versus now, you know, live at Allegiant Stadium with however many of y 'all are showing up. Yeah, I just feel like I've really earned it, and that just makes it so much sweeter for me, you know? there's two bits of synergy I want to bring up because you brought up this being your first singles match and this might be a topic you're not fond of but I'm just going to put it out bring it my first singles match on a pay-per-view at all in WWE was actually at Wrestlemania and it was against Rey Mysterio who you know deadbeat yeah deadbeat Rey Mysterio I don't think he even remembers by the way because I waited in Sacramento at TV to have a quiet locker room so that I could just go tell him thank you and he goes for what and I was oh well WrestleMania being a part of this none of it would have happened without Rey Mysterio but we don't have to talk about Rey Mysterio is there anything we can expect from from our boy who also paper magazine dominic daddy dom daddy dom um well we can expect him to beat pin balor no i'm i'm looking to beat stephanie all on my own she's been mocking me and belittling me and trying to embarrass me and trying to question my work ethic and what i bring to the table says I hide behind my friends so yeah I am looking to defeat her all by myself did we drop a pin balor we did I snuck it in there that's rough pin balor is rough the other element of synergy is I you did something very nice for me and I don't know you if you know you did this but I was kicked this happens every year at Wrestlemania, so it's not new, but I was kicked in the balls by John Cena.

19:39And I never got the receipt. I mean, I got to wrestle John, but you did get the receipt. I did it for you. So thank you so much. You're welcome. Cheers to that. I really just went in there for it, too. Yeah, cheers to that. I didn't hold back. Cheers. And I forgot to mention Wheatley American Vodka. I have the Wheatley American Mule, The Oblivion. Wait, I want my cigar. Do you want to light up? Yeah. Oh, it's right there. It is cut. We talked about it. How do I light it with this? Well, you light it. Is this perfume? Here, I got you. But you don't light it like a J. Is this a lighter? So mouth.

20:16This is it. Yep. Big fire. Round of applause. I don't want to get.

20:24Right? I heard you're not supposed to eat it, actually. Like, I'm not supposed to inhale this, right? you ate you ate on that a lot of us are I got to get it going a lot yeah and you know what cigar so we're in a cigar bar so a lot of people can tell you this people who smoke cigars it's a very you'll find some people are real gatekeepers about it oh you're not doing it right no it's a hole and like Matt Cardona I got into cigars and for a month he was smoking them this way he posted a photo of him on his Instagram. He's all like flexing. He's in his pool and it's backwards and I had to let him know.

21:08Does it hit the same though? No, it doesn't hit the same backwards. Is it wrong? I mean it might hit the same but it's just backwards. You're right there on the part I don't think you want to be on but no, he learned. Here's the thing. If they stop being lit, you relight them, there's no big deal. Two matches the traditional way. Has anyone ever seen the movie swordfish swordfish john travolta yeah hallie okay hallie berry too what's it about she ate oh well give us a little synopsis what's it what it's about is fairly confusing but the beginning i always tell people if you ever want to know like how to light a cigar and smoke it john travolta's whole little promo he cuts about the movie industry that's it it's like 60 seconds of boom you you If you were going to a bachelor party for the first time, he's got it.

21:58He rolls it. It's a whole thing. But there's no wrong way to do it. Don't let anyone gatekeep on you. How are you supposed to hold it? You got it perfect. I'm doing a multitude of things. Typically, we can go here. You can go Cruella. No, I like this. It doesn't matter. Do your thing. First cigar? I think I've puffed on one before. But this is my first proper I'm going to sit down and smoke a cigar. Well, how special is that? You get to do it with all our friends.

22:25A lot of us have seen it and I wanted to ask you about it. It should have been the first thing I asked you about, but Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. No, I need a little bit more love for it, though. I need you guys to. Oh, hold up. Thank you. Hey, guess what? I'll do the whole thing over again. We'll just run it. Hey, so I wanted to ask you about this. Everyone is talking about it. The music video just came out. Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. Iconic yeah how do you feel about it I love it it's great yeah I got like a unique opportunity I just got asked if I would like new music and I said yes and they were like would you like to sing it and I was like wow yeah I'm not a singer I don't sing I love to sing in the car in the shower but like you know sometimes I hit a note and I'm like damn I ate that but like you know other than that like you know I kind of just leave it to you know Mariah Carey but um i i i said yes and then um they really like the song and that turned into would you like to do a music video and i was like yeah and then so um we created the concept for the trouble music video which is just very much making bad decisions causing trouble having fun um and then we shot the music video like last week in two days and i had like three days of like a little pop star camp where they were teaching me choreography and how to dance i never done a dance class before.

23:52Um, but I love the experience so much. I'm very much just like, I'm not too cool for school. You know what I mean? These are all things that I don't do, but these are all things that I was so happy to try out and do. Um, and so I'm so grateful for the experience because I got to be a fucking pop star for like three days. It was iconic. I ate that. Thank you. So trouble, if you haven't seen it, check it out. It's incredible. Uh, Do you like it though? I loved it. Yeah? You hate that. Can you sing me any line from it? You know what? Any little tune? You know what? I absolutely cannot.

24:29You're going to see how far we can go with it. But no, so here's my thought because you're talking about you're singing, you're a pop star, the music, the experience. I'm wondering what other pro wrestlers, I know one off the top of my head, who also have sang. Naomi. Naomi all the way back to Michael Hayes. Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels singing his song Michael Hayes. I always thought the big show sang that shit. Right? Yeah. I always thought that was him. I don't think that's the big show. Wait, that's not the big show? It's the big. Yeah, it is. It is? Can we get confirmation? I heard it's not the big show.

25:06I would like to think that big show sang that song. Me too, but I don't know. Honky Tonk Man. I'm trying to think who else was singing. Joe Hendry is right. John Cena? Oh, man, that was right there. Did Deej, was he singing stuff? He said, like, The Rock says, yeah. Yeah, all right, all right. Yeah, yeah, he did a little ad-libs. So I'll tell you, yeah, you bring up John Cena, the greatest of all time. He's hosting WrestleMania, by the way. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. Also, been a guest on What Do You Want to Talk About? this is a story that my dad told me and I thought it was the funniest thing ever when the album first came out when John did that album and most people know he self-financed it he did everything himself but when that album first came out Vince was such a fan of it that he played it on the corporate jet at like max and my dad had just come back to work here and he couldn't tell if it was a rib or if it was like, oh, this is what these jet rides are like.

26:14It's just so loud. Like the whole flight, what? It's just John just, and John was on the flight too, but it was a very, that's a, I believe the only album Craig would know. It's platinum. You went platinum, right? It's platinum. You got to get platinum. I'm not even released on Spotify yet. How do we do that? I think we're working on it. I was very particular with the cover art. So I think the stall was me being like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I think we're pumping it out, Charles. Yeah? Yeah, soon. Put a lot of pressure on you there, Charles. Get my shit on Spotify, y 'all. I want to be platinum.

Okay, so trouble is out. are there any are there any other things like that in this modern WWE that you want to get out there seek out and do honestly it wasn't even something that I was seeking out it was just something to you yeah I feel like you know before my injury I was very much you know I still believe in journaling and like manifesting but I was very heavy on writing down what I wanted out of life and um trying to manifest these blessings and I feel like before I got injured I was like on a really upward like trajectory and I had a lot of awesome things going on at work um but even though I had all these awesome things going on I still like wanted more like I I was in the world is not enough yeah I was I was in the middle of like four different amazing things but I still was like I can do more and I want more and then I got injured and I lost it all and I wasn't able to make good on anything that I was involved in and I remember just feeling like why the fuck was I still wanting more when I had so much in front of me?

Read the full transcript

29:30Like, why wasn't I enjoying and being present in what I had versus still seeking more, more, more, more. And so I feel like now on the other side of the injury coming back, I'm really just like, I'm not seeking anything. Not that I'm not like hungry or wanting more, but I'm just gonna let the blessings come to me versus like pushing and wanting and hoping I'm just going to just be present and wake up every day and just like do my best and just see what happens and that's like what I feel like this music video came out of nowhere and paper magazine came out of nowhere and like all these amazing opportunities kind of just fell onto my lap once I stopped wanting more you said something I think is really important that I love hearing because it's a reminder to me as well being present I think uh first Wrestlemania that I had done the main event, and that was WrestleMania 39.

30:24Don't know if anyone came to WrestleMania 39 in LA. Oh, hell yeah. But every bit of it, I rushed through mentally. Every bit of it, I was very, just moving to the next thing and what I thought would be next and what was supposed to be, whatever it may be. And I didn't, I remember being disappointed that I didn't really take the time, especially on the walk on the way down and i find that that's now i don't know if you guys notice sorry if it takes a little while to get to the ring but that's that's what i like to do because i i want to be here in this moment and i if you should already have everything ready and loaded and it's there and you can forget and then you're back in it but i like to be present i like to make make eye contact i don't know if you've seen this but there's a guaranteed way to spot a super green baby face.

31:19Okay. Guaranteed. So it's more in arena shows, but you guys can watch and see it. If a baby face comes out and starts glad handing people that aren't there. Oh, yeah. So they're not even watching. They're not even looking. They're not focused. They're not. They're thinking, I'm good. I do this. And you'll see, I saw one time somebody touched someone's face. Yeah. That's a good word for it. They float through it. And I feel like this is the time. We just had Triple H on the podcast and Triple H was talking about. Did he eat? Yeah, he ate. He ate. He did. He had really great sneakers on. He ate in the podcast.

31:56He had a really good point about being in these moments. And I think that's for all of us. And wrestler, wrestling fan, audience, referee, commentator, whatever, every piece of it is, this is our moment. It's one of the reasons why I kind of kick back on nostalgia from time to time because, well, I want this for us. I want this moment that we all have. So just hearing you say be present is really, really nice. And I had wanted you on the podcast a long time because we talk, and I don't know if you notice the trend when we talk or text. I'll air it out. We only ever talk about business. I have never had a conversation with you that's like, how's your family?

32:39It's always. We get to work. We get to work. And it's one of the things I shared with the group around me is I thought, man, like, what a great teammate. Because Bruce Pritchard came on the show and he said, be available, do it. Be available, do it. I asked, what's the success? What's the formula to be top guy, top girl, whatever? Be available, do it. Way harder said, like, way easier said than done is be available, do it. And you absolutely are just one of the most hardest working people I have ever met in all of WWE. And I don't know if people know. I mean, yeah. That's okay. It's okay. Thank you.

33:21So there are things happening at WrestleMania that you and I spoke about. That we gave this idea to someone else. And then I saw, oh, such and such is at WWE World doing a lot. And I thought, that was our conversation. But that's such a wonderful thing. And I wonder where does it come from? And I'm going to shout her out because she's here and I'm not going to cry. But, damn it. So all of mine is because of my mom. So, hey, sorry.

33:57Well, yeah, she's awesome. But one of the things that the only time my mom was ever really, really mad at me the entire time we grew up, she's pretty OK with any ridiculous thing I did. But I got fired from my first job at Einstein's Bagels. What did you do? And she she used some colorful language and and really let me have it. And, you know, we we wrestling family. So we had money we didn't know about. We didn't have money. It was one of those. We were living the gimmick, but were we really the gimmick or not? But I got that from her, so I'm wondering where, for you, does this come from? Because I mean it.

34:37I can count on maybe six people that I would know, hey, if we decided let's go pitch doing live events again to Nick Khan and present it as a whole special thing, I know you would be like, I'm on it. I love live events. Yes. So where does this come from for you? I honestly think just true love for what I do and appreciation and respect. WWE quite literally changed my life. And in turn, I was able to change my family's life and the lives of those that I love. And so I remember life before WWE, you know, and it's so much sweeter now. So I just feel like, first of all, it's like I've been dreaming about this my whole entire life.

35:18So who am I to finally get what I've been dreaming about and complain or say no? That's like first. And secondly, I just feel like I'm so eternally grateful for everything that WWE has given me that there's nothing I wouldn't do in return. Like, I feel like there's nothing I can do to show my appreciation or my gratefulness or like just my love for WWE and what it's given me. And so like I will give whatever is needed from me just to say thank you. you know oh wow thank you thank you live very much you uh we were we were taking pictures up here and there's a there's a group here that's known you since before this from hooters yeah shout out to the family y 'all they have been riding with me for like the last 13 years of my life met them at hooters and they come to all the events that they can and support me and wish me happy birthday and Merry Christmas.

36:19They're great, great, great people. I love you guys. Oh, wow.

36:25Well, my sister worked at Hooters at one point, right? Teal worked at Hooters? My oldest sister worked at Hooters. Yeah, okay. How'd you feel about that? Yeah, kids eat for free on Tuesdays. Kids eat for free, you know?

36:44Yeah. no no what does it take what does it take you know a sparkling smile charisma great customer service the patience of a saint um and hard work and dedication

37:06wow i'm very excited that we got into this territory because i feel like we i can't get out now i was in the calendar i was like a big time hooters girl Yeah. Okay. Unrelated to Hooters. Not that we love it. But unrelated, our friend who has the giant crown jewel championship. Have you ever seen the video of us driving in that golf cart? Yeah, but it's like very fast and there's like no sound. And I was like, were we just not talking the whole time? Well, I didn't know. You know, you never know anymore. Being recorded. Unreal. But it's real. But it's everything now. So I said something real to you, and you said something very real to me back.

37:48I was like, oh, man, Hunter told me I did a really good job. And you're like, yeah, I think he probably meant it. It was like... I was all emotional. I was like, oh, it was really... But then I saw you just doing this and looking around. I'm like, what are we... Is this... Are there people? They said it was right around the corner. It's not... And the titles that they gave us... It wasn't right around the corner. Okay, no. No, it was this wrong golf cart drive. And we're sitting there and all we ever talk about is business. So this was just us there. And the titles are so big. So insane. Yeah, and I had two, I think.

38:23You had two too, right? Yeah. And I don't know if you remember, but so that night on the flight, the flight attendant had to get some sort of olive oil to help me get that ring on. I remember. Because I was so not going to, I had to get that ring on. I had to. And do you still have your ring? Yeah. Yeah. I broke the case. Oh, that's okay. It's okay. It's just the case. I need a new one, Zachary. But yeah, I have it. I keep it in a little satchel and I bring it to TV every week just in case I want to like whip it out. Yeah. I wanted to use it. I wanted to like win matches with it and stuff. Oh, kind of old school.

39:02Well, you can, you still have the ring, you know, you could. Yeah. But there was like a winner after me. I feel like it doesn't hit the same. Oh no, but it's your ring. but they had one too Hunter was like you can win a ring and then next year you can win another it's kind of like a Superbowl that was the original kind of thought process did the last people get rings? Zach did the last people get rings? hey we're going to do this real quick because he's standing here and she referenced him during the Wrestlemania period how many appearances do you have by the way? fucking a million everybody has a lot of appearances and they're all no one's complaining like you said everybody's excited to do whatever we can and meet as many people as we can, and especially the good ones who, the good ones are all on WrestleMania.

39:44But that's Zach. He works in talent relations. He helps. Zachary! Guys, that's my goat, for real. That's my goat. I need a new ring case. He is your goat. Do you know how I know you're his number one? Tell me. Well, because I'm 1B. I'm quarterback one? Yeah, so you are QB1. You're 1A. Whereas I am 1B with our talent relations squad. But, yeah, I know he does an incredible job. Big news. WWE and sports fans, the world's number one sports fan festival, Fanatics Fest, is making its return to New York City.

This is where I was going to go when we brought up Hooters, and then we went all over the place. But you were talking about being injured and talking about, I feel like as a wrestler, performer, however we look at it, the most defining moments for me are moments where it didn't hit. where whether it was an injury or whether it was a loss that I didn't feel should have been a loss and could you come back from it?

41:12Is there anything you can speak to of a moment where your fans kind of lifted you back up or you lifted yourself back up? Because again, one of the reasons I was so excited to have you on the podcast is that you're not a rocket on the back straight to the moon. This is a journey of up, down, and those are the best. those are the real ones the ones who hang in and keep going and you've done that and you're getting ready to walk into Allegiant Stadium in a championship match um what's what's the moment that shaped you um well honestly the injury was really hard for me like I took it really hard um I was very sad for a very long time I'm like a very much like everything happens for a reason type person even if something happens that's terrible I'm like so like optimistically delusional And I'm like, no, this happened for my greater good.

41:59And maybe I don't see it now, but I know this happened for my greater good. My injury, I was like, no, this happened just to fuck me. Like I was like, yeah, like I was like, no, like this is not, this is not good. And so, um, I couldn't wrap my head around it and I couldn't accept it because I didn't see like what good was going to come from this or why this happened. I was, I had to miss evolution. I had to miss SummerSlam in my hometown um I didn't know what I was going to come back to as far as work like I was going to be out for six months like that is so unknown I could come back and everything that I know could be different um and so I just was sad and I just really didn't know like what to believe in if I didn't believe that I was going to be okay at the end of the day yeah and so I was talking to Raquel and I was just shout out to Raquel shout out to my sister Raquel big sexy um I was just on FaceTime just like being upset as I was always being and um I just was telling her like I just I just don't believe in anything like I don't have any faith right now on what this looks like on the other side and it was just like so simple but she just was like sister I feel like when you feel like you have no faith is when you're supposed to have the most and it was just so simple but I just was like huh um and I feel like that was when I was kind of able to stop feeling sorry for myself and just pick myself up a little bit but that was like the start of me feeling like okay I'm coming back like mentally emotionally and physically um and so Raquel definitely helped me out of some rainy days.

43:44Yeah, and then to have your partner in crime like that and someone who's there and has your back and supports you. My best friend. Your best friend. My sister, my best friend in life. Yeah? She's the best, yeah. I'd like to have her on the podcast. You'd love her on the podcast. She's so funny and she's so smart and she's so talented. Yeah. Honestly, I feel like she surprised you a lot. She knows a lot about a lot of things. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah, no, I don't. Sold. I want to ask you because you're talking about someone who's there right now in this moment, and they're there for you. But you and your WWE, do you have a favorite wrestler?

44:18Past, present? Dominic Mysterio. Obviously. Obviously. Daddy Dom? I'm serious. He's my favorite wrestler. Have you ever heard me talk about Dom before? You love him. I do love him. And it's weird because he'll say something so mean about punk in the media. and I'm thinking oh all us baby faces are screwed he's coming for us all and then he'll be like oh Cody's a really cool guy so I don't know what I did but Dom is the one guy he's the one I'm trying to think if there's another one Dom's like the one guy at work that I feel not cool around cause I'll have like yeah I'll have like a new watch or something I'll be like hey Dom and he's got a giant sky dweller on.

45:07Which is a very nice fancy watch. He's just oozes charisma. And also I love the fact that Dom is kind of trained backwards. He's he knows psychology. He knows how to engage with fans. He knows how a live crowd but fundamentals have come after all that. Which is a little bit of how I was trained. But yeah Dom I don't know do you have a way I can get in with Dom. I feel like you're in already. I don't know. He hasn't said anything bad about you. I feel like you're in. He's just cool. Maybe you're cooler than you think you are. Maybe. There was a charter flight where I realized, okay, that kid's got it.

45:49What was it? We were coming back from Saudi, and Dom was up front, and Dom was about, I'm going to take a nap. I'm not here for this whole wrestler's. And he was in a hoodie, and it was like looking at a guy in a bacta tank. He was just in this hoodie, but his watch perfectly laid on his chest. And several people, me, Michael Cole, we were talking over him. Glasses are going over him. We're laughing. People are cheersing. And he never moved. And it was legit 14 hours. Any time I've ever seen Dominic get on a plane, he just goes to sleep right away. How? I don't even know if he's tired. You know what I mean?

46:32But he'll just get there and he'll just go to sleep for the whole time. How? he just has 14 i haven't slept more than six hours in like 10 years in the 14 hours but probably didn't go to sleep the night before my favorite thing is on these flights especially you'll see wrestlers they'll get like all the neck pillows and randy orton uh will have like a back pillow and a bunch of equipment his legs are like attached to the ceiling it's a whole thing but they like can sleep i'll do the little neck pillow and i'll do this thing where i lean back like oh I'm gonna sleep and then without fail anyone who's been on a flight with me has seen it I fall forward I fall for I look like just drooling on myself I don't know I've never figured out the I've never figured it out so now I don't do it now I and I was on the uh corporate plane the other day and I felt bad because everyone on that plane wanted to sleep including Hunter including Hunter and I just all I talked about was like so uh remember when you cut the game promo.

47:35I could tell like an hour in he's like oh no dude this is a long flight. Yeah I'm afraid. I'm also afraid to sleep on planes with the boys because you don't know. Oh you think they'll do something? Yeah they can shave your eyebrow or who knows. I mean we don't do any of that anymore really. Yeah yeah we don't really do any of that anymore do we? No. Everyone I feel like is very wholesome. Yeah. Okay so Dom notwithstanding who we know is cool and can sleep and is wonderful, who is someone else's favorite wrestler? Who's someone you look to? I don't know if you're someone who's a tape study type.

48:09For example, I get to TV and everyone who comes on the bus hates it, but I immediately turn on wrestling. And it can be like mid-South TV taping that's not really done on YouTube. And if you watch it now, maybe it doesn't hold up as well. But I need it. It's osmosis. I need that. And I might see something and learn. Is there something you look back at and watch or someone you try to steal from or something you try to take? I feel like, you know, like old school Shawn Michaels. Yeah. Like, you know, heel 90s Shawn Michaels or like old heel Y2J. Oh, OK. Yeah. Just. Yeah. He's great. He was great.

48:56He was great. He was something. Can I give you a sidebar on the old Y2J? Yeah. Whenever anyone, listen, you guys are all pretty much in. You're in this room. You're in. I'll tell you a word not to use, and it's not because it's offensive. It's just not a true word. It's the word botch. Because it's not a botch. It's a wrestling match. No one knows but us. And maybe it didn't look correct. Listen, it was a botch. But it's not. I see what you mean, though. You don't know what it was supposed to be, so how do you know it's a botch? It keeps rolling. but anytime somebody blows it on TV, I mean, goes for something and falls, or we don't have to name names, or it just doesn't go right, I send them the same clip of me trying to power slam Chris Jericho, who isn't running.

49:44And I'm falling backwards, so it just looks like two drunk guys at a bar rolling on each other, but then we still got up, like we hit it and nailed it. because it happens to everybody, right? Do you have one bad moment that you can recall? I'm sure I have bad moments, but the only one that's really sticking out, I think it was one of my first appearances on NXT, and I was in the first ever NXT Women's Battle Royal, and I really wanted to do a powerbomb, just like a... Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. and so I went to go powerbomb Cameron you know from Funkadactyls I do and I just I was so excited and I was really like I gotta lift her so I go and I shoot her up and I just like over rotate so strong and she just like landed on me and then I think I popped up too yeah I just like popped up that is like what's sticking out to me right now but I'm sure there's like loads of times where I thought I botched something you made me think about Sina Batista where they I think that's the rumble gone wrong yeah they go up for a powerbomb but he pulls him so much and then they just fall out it's a whole disaster you mentioned Shawn Michaels and I don't know if anyone we got big HBK fans here so I'll tell you being a Shawn Michaels fan growing up is kind of a choice he was progressive yeah and it's like easy he is right it's it's easier to be i guess it was easier to be a brett fan and i'm saying if you're a guy like a young man like it was easier to be a brett fan maybe because sean's out there and chaps and he's dancing and he's singing his own song and the whole deal but if you want to see just some wildness sean michaels versus vader is oh my gosh how sean michaels was fearless I got to watch it back.

51:51Oh, my gosh. I got to watch it back. I mean, it's infamous for this big moment where he's going to jump on his head and he doesn't move, and then he screams at him, move! But it still somehow is a good match, even though it's collapsing right in front of you. But Sean gave me this really great piece of advice once that I thought was so cool. Sean was a smaller guy. He was a lighter heavyweight. But Sean said that a lot of fans would come and trash talk him or say stuff. And they thought they could take him. and then he'd always just give them just a look, and that alone they'd be like, oh, never mind.

52:26Yeah, that guy's tough. All right, never mind. So Shawn Michaels is one of the others. Any others that you like to watch? I mean, I like to watch, I guess no one's really like singing. No, that's okay. No, I totally did. Like, maybe that's it. Hey, HBK is good, and it got me thinking, and I, of course, going on about this Vader match, what it's a total mess, but I am very excited. Are you a big Hall of Fame fan? Yeah. Okay. It's like one of my favorite events all year. Yeah, except I... I love it. I went on a rant about the Hall of Fame that just kept going on because I love the Hall of Fame. I love the Hall of Fame.

53:08I don't love... It's in the middle of the night, basically. That's why I love it. Oh, you're... Okay, you're about to... I love watching everyone else. Yeah. I'll go there and I'll just sit in my dress and I'm just watching everyone else. The Hall of Fame was kind of my first, my dad got rehired by WWE in 2005 and he went into the Hall of Fame in 2007. So WrestleMania is always a family reunion for us, which is cool because your family's going to be, I think your box is by my box. They're by each other. But I love the Hall of Fame and someone I'm so excited about, even if it's just a video, but is Sid.

53:43I didn't realize how awesome Sid was growing up. And then I don't know if you've ever seen it. There's a really good, just a lesson for a young wrestler. Has anyone seen Sid in Madison Square Garden versus Shawn Michaels? Oh. So it's you know, lately I get booed a lot. So I'm like, oh, it's an away game. You know, but it's an away game for Shawn Michaels because the crowd was just about Sid. They were. And you can see, you know, when we just lose ourselves and we're not in character anymore and we're just like, yeah. You can see because Sid would come out and he'd do one fist pound. But he, you can tell he's like, For me?

54:17Oh, he's just pounding away and all excited. It's a legendary match. I'm glad Sean is one of your guys.

See Fanatics Casino app. we talk a lot about the producers of wwe on this show because the producers are helping put together you know wrestling as it is today and doing an incredible job and curveballs left and right for many of them do you have a favorite producer you work with no no no i really don't i love i love them all oh yeah in different ways not a least favorite in different ways no i love them all i really do I feel like um even though everyone like works differently and has a different style I just feel like there's something still to like learn in that and it might not be exactly what I thought but also I don't think I know better so I don't know I like getting different opinions and different um options or choices from the different producers that maybe I don't necessarily like resonate with but then I do what they say and I'm like oh like you There's something to that.

56:06They're right. But no, I like working with everyone. I like working with everyone. Yeah, we have a great team of producers. Do you have a guru particularly? Is there anyone that you seek out? I have mine. Maybe TJ. Oh, yeah, TJ. TJ Wilson. TJ. Yeah. TJ. Yeah, I feel like even if he's not doing my match, I'll try something at the performance center and be like, do you think this is cool? Do you like this? and he always gives me feedback. This is really off the mark, but TJ is really, you know, little Brody is getting ready to have his first wrestling match. We've been training in the dungeon. Yeah.

56:47We've been training in the dungeon. And getting the clips, it's crazy what TJ and Natty have done. He's way too good for that age. Yeah, everyone who goes to the dungeon, and what a crew, by the way. Jacob's down there sometimes. Sometimes you see a lot of people. TJ, very, very special. TJ needs to come on the podcast. But yeah, no, I was, if Little Brody had to have somebody training him. TJ and Natty. TJ and Natty, my gosh. For sure. They keep it, you know, 100. I don't know if that's a thing people say anymore. Like foundational. Like, you know, it's nothing that, like, you shouldn't know.

57:22Yeah, no. Wait, who's your favorite producer? Favorite producer? Yeah. I want to be, I want to, let me see if I can find a least favorite.

57:33I don't know. Least favorite. I'll find a least. You know who's my least favorite? Who? Hurricane. What? Tell me why. Because he... He doesn't really produce the girlies a lot. He's exceptional. Fundamentally sound. He is the reason, by the way, Logan Paul is getting as good as Logan Paul is getting is because Hurricane is just... Spends time with him. Spends time and trains him. but he got me so bad as a rib would go and a rib that no one would know is a rib. Sometimes people bring me my dad's clothes and they think I want to wear them. And no, that's, A, that was his and I don't want it either, it's yours.

58:20It's better with you. Please don't bring me his things. He had me in Japan put on this giant dusty robe and this goofy hat. And you're in Japan where the language barrier is already there. There's a lot of kids. It was a very long but beautifully thought out, the intention was there. But ever since then, I've just kind of, you never know what you're going to get. And then Molly Holly, Nora. Nora. She is not afraid to tell you. Exactly. That's great, though. Because you come back at those, especially those live events where she'd be, and you'd think like, oh, that was good. and most people at that point in the night want to go home.

59:01But she's always like, well, there's this one thing. That's what I love, though. Nitpick my shit. Yeah, she's phenomenal. I like all our producers. I think the most fun producer to work with sometimes can be Abyss because he's almost in that match with you. Yeah. He's so stressed out. He's so excited. And so, you know, if people who watch Unreal, do you guys watch Unreal? Yeah, he's a big hit on Unreal. No, but yeah, TJ's special. We need to get TJ on the pod. Who? JJ. JJ? Oh, amazing. Yeah. Yeah. The whole crew. We don't have a bad apple. There's really not one that would not. I love Daivari too.

59:37Shout out to Daivari. You like Daivari? I love Daivari. So I have this little, it's covered up because good hair and makeup. Thank you, by the way, Kristen. I have this scar right here. From Daivari? Yep. Now. My very first match on the road. I was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And Daivari grabbed me by the arm and he shot me towards the ropes and he went. And instead of going, hanging onto the ropes, not running, I ran full speed right back at him. And he just put the tip of his elbow just right here. And it busted open hard way. And I thought, well, that's cool. I'm a wrestler. And then I saw it squirt.

1:00:18Yeah, you had an artery. And I thought, oh, no. And Mike Chioda immediately rang the bell. and this was my very first live event hadn't been on TV I actually debut the next week in the hallway talking to Hacksaw Jim Duggan and I'm turned sideways because there's giant cable stitches in my forehead from Daivari so we like Daivari I also like Daivari because when we do big pull-aparts and stuff he tries to get his jacket off because he's jacked so he's if you guys if you see Daivari tell him that tell him he ate you know he's in great shape he ate thank you so much coming on the podcast we got a couple things we need you to do.
