“We Were Beating the Sh*t Out of Each Other”: Ex-WWE Star Recalls Chaotic Segment With Liv Morgan

Former WWE star CJ Perry, better known to wrestling fans as Lana, has opened up about one of her most chaotic on-screen moments with Liv Morgan. The former WWE personality recalled how a segment involving the two women turned into a physical confrontation that became difficult to control.

Liv Morgan is now one of WWE’s leading women’s division stars and has reached the top of the card as Women’s World Champion. However, before establishing herself as a major singles competitor, Morgan was involved in a controversial romantic storyline with Lana between 2019 and 2020.

During a recent conversation with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Perry discussed several wedding-related segments from her WWE career. While reflecting on the memorable moments, she described how her confrontation with Morgan became far more physical than expected.

CJ Perry Recalls Physical WWE Segment With Liv Morgan

The storyline involving Liv Morgan and Lana began in 2019, when Morgan appeared and claimed to be the former partner of Lana’s on-screen character. The angle added another complicated development to the existing storyline involving Lana and Rusev.

At the time, Lana was also involved in an on-screen relationship with Bobby Lashley. The storyline featured several dramatic twists and wedding-related segments, making it one of WWE’s more talked-about angles during that period.

Speaking to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Perry recalled that her wedding segments frequently turned chaotic. She specifically remembered her physical confrontation with Morgan, explaining that the action became intense enough to damage parts of their costumes and even break a contact lens.

“Actually, every wedding I’ve ever had turned into like… Liv [Morgan] snatched me bald. We were beating the sh*t out of each other. Like I broke her contact. I had a little braid underneath the wig that I had on, and that literally got snatched out. I’m trying to let her go, and finally I had to start punching her. I didn’t want to punch her in the eye, but I punched her and broke her contact. Like, we beat the sh*t out of each other. It’s insane,” Lana said.

Perry’s recollection provides a behind-the-scenes perspective on the physical intensity of the segment. What was presented to viewers as part of a dramatic wrestling storyline involved an unexpectedly rough exchange between the performers.

How the Liv Morgan and Lana WWE Storyline Developed

Liv Morgan’s storyline with Lana was part of a wider series of dramatic developments involving Rusev and Bobby Lashley. Morgan’s character claimed a past romantic connection with Lana, creating tension within the existing on-screen relationships.

The angle generated considerable attention but eventually lost momentum as the storyline developed. Rusev subsequently left WWE, while Morgan moved towards establishing herself as a singles performer.

Lana and Lashley’s on-screen partnership also eventually came to an end, with Lashley choosing MVP as his manager. Morgan, meanwhile, continued building her career and gradually became one of the most prominent names in WWE’s women’s division.

Although the storyline remains a memorable part of that period, Perry’s latest comments highlight how physically demanding some of its segments could become.

Liv Morgan Set to Defend Women’s World Championship at WWE Survivor Series 2026

Liv Morgan’s position in WWE has changed considerably since her storyline with Lana. She has since become a multiple-time Women’s World Champion and a major presence in the company’s women’s division.

Earlier in 2026, Morgan captured the Women’s World Championship for the second time by defeating Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42. She later lost the championship to Vaquer during a WWE live event in Chile in September.

Morgan then made history at Money in the Bank by becoming the first-ever three-time Women’s World Champion. However, she was unable to maintain that momentum after losing the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship to Chelsea Green in Saudi Arabia.

Becky Lynch to Challenge Liv Morgan at Survivor Series

WWE has confirmed that Liv Morgan will defend her Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch in a singles match at Survivor Series 2026.

The championship opportunity was granted to Lynch after The Judgment Day interrupted their previous title match before Crown Jewel. That interruption prevented the contest from reaching a decisive conclusion and created the circumstances for another showdown between the two competitors.

The upcoming match gives Lynch an opportunity to challenge Morgan for the championship, while the reigning champion will look to retain her title on a major WWE event.

With their rivalry heading towards Survivor Series, attention will be on whether Morgan can successfully defend her championship or Lynch can capture the title. The result could also influence the direction of WWE’s women’s division in the weeks that follow.

Liv Morgan’s Journey From Controversial Storylines to Championship Success

Perry’s comments offer a reminder of an earlier chapter in Morgan’s WWE career, when she was involved in storylines that attracted attention for their dramatic twists and physical segments.

Since then, Morgan has developed into a championship-level performer and become a central figure on WWE programming. Her upcoming title defence against Becky Lynch represents another important opportunity to establish her position at the top of the women’s division.

Meanwhile, CJ Perry’s account gives fans a rare glimpse into the physical demands behind one of WWE’s most talked-about storyline moments involving Morgan. The former WWE star’s recollection shows that the segment was memorable for reasons that extended beyond what viewers saw on television.
