Liv Morgan has yet to make her return to the WWE ring, but she’s still managing to capture attention in other ways. Recently, new footage from the Season 5 red carpet event of Stranger Things, set for release on November 6th, surfaced online, showcasing Liv’s standout moments on the red carpet. The former WWE Women’s Champion, currently recovering from shoulder surgery, was asked an intriguing question only she could answer.
Would it be scarier to endure Rhea Ripley’s Riptide finisher or to survive the horrors of the Upside Down? Liv didn’t hesitate, though she took a moment to think it over. Acknowledging the brutality of Ripley’s move, she noted there’s something that gives her the edge with the Upside Down experience.
"Though Riptide is brutal and terrifying… I survived it. But I’m not sure I could survive the Upside Down, especially without my phone," she said.
A few weeks ago, Morgan attended the red carpet event at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The final season of Stranger Things is now streaming on Netflix. Her appearance is part of her gradual return to the spotlight following a dislocated shoulder injury in June. She was supposed to face Nikki Bella at WWE Evolution 2025, but her injury changed those plans. Morgan is anticipated to be cleared for wrestling early in 2026, with a strong chance of making her comeback during WrestleMania season.
In the meantime, Liv is staying busy with red carpet appearances and endorsement deals. She recently featured in Lid’s ALL CAPS holiday campaign alongside Dominik Mysterio and Stephen A. Smith and is expanding her acting resume with projects like The Kill Room, Chucky, and the upcoming Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.
WWE’s upcoming move to Netflix in 2025—the same platform that hosts Stranger Things—makes Liv’s transition from wrestling rings to red carpet a savvy and strategic move. Though she is currently sidelined, Liv remains front and center when it counts. From facing Ripley’s punishing finisher to confronting the terrors of The Upside Down, she shows no fear in keeping things real, whether in WWE or Hollywood.
