SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
Aldis said, “Liv Morgan, to me, is the MVP of 2024. I’ve told her a couple of times, ‘You are crushing it.’ A good heel has to have some self-awareness. You have to know what impression you give off when you walk in the room. Liv Morgan is a stunningly good-looking girl. That can work against you. She finally realized, ‘I can use that.’”
On giving Morgan advice:
“I gave her a piece of advice, she doesn’t need it, but I offered it anyway. I was like, ‘Your heat reminds me of Shawn (Michaels) in 1997.’ Shawn had that swagger. He was so good, you couldn’t be like, ‘You suck.’ No, he did not suck. He was so demonstratively the best performer by a long way in 1997. (Hulk) Hogan was a huge star in WCW, Sting was cooking with Crow Sting, NWO was hot, (Steve) Austin was coming up, Bret (Hart) was Bret, but Shawn was so on his game and you couldn’t take it away. He was so good in the ring. He started using that, ‘What are you going to do about it?’ and he was good-looking. He was calling out, ‘Your girl would leave you for me.’ That’s heat. Liv has that same thing. We’ve got a lot more women in the audience these days, and they’re like, ‘She is really good-looking.’ It’s totally believable that she would steal someone’s boyfriend.”
