The WWE Universe showed how the sentiments of the fans can resonate and affect plans laid out by the company. After the WWE decided to bring in Dwayne Johnson to replace Cody Rhodes for the main event at WrestleMania XL, wrestling fans rejected the idea. This backlash resulted in the WWE changing their plans and giving the fans what they wanted. With the success of #WeWantCody, another WWE star is getting their own trending hashtag on social media. This former WWE Women’s Champion proved herself in the Elimination Chamber match, and the pro wrestling community wants the WWE to recognize her potential.

After The American Nightmare, Liv Morgan gets the support of the WWE Universe

Liv Morgan has been part of the WWE since 2014 and has established herself as a firm fan favorite. However, in her 10-year long run, she hasn’t won as many titles as fans would’ve wanted. She beat Ronda Rousey using her Money in the Bank contract to become SmackDown’s Women’s Champion in 2022. The following year, she teamed with Raquel Rodriguez to win the Tag Team titles twice before being laid off with an injury thanks to Rhea Ripley.

Despite not winning, she was the second last woman in the chamber with Becky Lynch. Fans started the #WeWantLiv on X, which soon started trending.

In a similar vein to Rhodes, fans want the WWE to put her in a WrestleMania match. While Morgan has appeared on the Grandest Stage of them All, it was never in a solo match for the title. Unfortunately, this fanfare towards Morgan has met some backlash from fans who claim that, unlike Rhodes, Morgan didn’t have her opportunity taken away from her.

Wrestling fans contemplate the difference between Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan’s movements

While the #WeWantCody was to signify how the WWE Universe wanted Rhodes instead of Johnson at WrestleMania XL, Morgan’s hashtag means something else. Many fans are using this hashtag to express their frustration out of genuine care for Liv Morgan. Here are some of the top reactions to the hashtag.
