John Cena’s WWE retirement tour featured several of his past rivals, but one wrestler who had little history with him also made a huge impact — Liv Morgan. Morgan recently spoke about her role in Cena’s match against Dominik Mysterio and how she felt participating in it.
Morgan has previously spoken on her love and admiration for Cena in her younger years, and in an interview with Esteban Ramirez, spoken passionately about being involved in one of his last matches in WWE.
“Iconic,” replied Morgan when asked how it felt to be a part of Cena’s retirement tour. “You know, growing up, little Liv Morgan was the biggest chain gang soldier ever. Loved John Cena.

Morgan made a surprise return to WWE television at Survivor Series, during the Cena-Mysterio clash, and seemed to want to attack Mysterio after his flirting with other stars. After jumping on Cena, she turned on him, eventually helping Mysterio to regain his Intercontinental Championship.Â
