WWE star Liv Morgan felt like he was “doing a meet and greet” with officers while in the back seat of a police car during his arrest of 2023 for drug possession.
The professional wrestler recalled the strange ordeal of the episode of Thursday, January 8 of Stephanie McMahon“What’s your story?” podcast. It started when the police pulled her over for driving erratically.
“They go through my car and they find a newspaper, and they start reading my newspaper, Stephanie,” Morgan, 31, said. “They go on my list of goals, and it’s like, so cute and innocent. It’s like, ‘Be a WWE Hall of Famer. I want to act a little bit.’ Do you know what I mean? They just read my list of goals and laugh at me. They say, ‘Hahaha… Welcome to the real world, she doesn’t know much.'”
Everything changed, Morgan said, when they realized who he was.

“Then they find a pay stub on my WWE car,” he continued. “They say, ‘Oh, wait. Then they find my trading card, and then the whole tone changes, because I didn’t pull out my WWE card. Now they are apologizing to me. But it’s already too far into the process. They should arrest me.”
She continued: “I’m literally in handcuffs, and the cops are like, ‘Liv, is work going to be crazy?’ I say, ‘Yes! Yes, they are. They all took pictures.”
Morgan was eventually arrested for possession of a synthetic cannabinoid and possession of marijuana (no more than 20 grams), after police found a bag containing cannabis and a vape pen in her car.
The vape pen, which Morgan said belonged to a friend, contained synthetic cannabinoid oil, which resulted in a felony, while the possession of marijuana charge was a misdemeanor. The felony charge was eventually dropped when labs could not prove the substance in the pen was synthetic.
Morgan pleaded “no contest” to the misdemeanor charge and paid a fine.
“I was horrified and I felt so ashamed,” Morgan said, looking back on his arrest. “Those days are behind me. I don’t go dirty anymore.”
At the time of her arrest, Morgan was recovering from a shoulder injury that sidelined her for six months in the second half of 2023.

Looking back on it in a 2024 interview with Us WeeklyMorgan, whose real name is Gionna Daddio, said she saw the injury as a blessing in disguise.
“It wasn’t until I came back from my injury last year that I went from ‘I’m lucky to be here’ to ‘I’m this dog,'” Morgan said. “I don’t know what that change was.”
She continued: “I think that was my biggest realization in my free time. For the last 10 years of my life, I’ve been Liv Morgan. These are my formative years, growing up, entering my womanhood years. I was so focused on what I was doing in my career that I don’t think I paid enough attention to myself, to my wants, to my needs, to my interests, to my hobbies. Until I had those months off where I just had to be myself.”
