Liv Morgan

WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was enjoying the Charlotte Hornets-New York Knicks game from the front row. Morgan was there to promote WWE’s show from Madison Square Garden this Sunday, and she had a great front row seat beside the basket.

It appeared that Morgan didn’t get to choose who she sat with because when the camera panned to Morgan so the Knicks broadcast can promote WWE’s MSG show, the guy beside her was talking her ear off. Morgan did her best to be civil, repeating “yeah” a few times just to be nice and not totally crush the guy’s spirits, but you could tell she A) wasn’t listening and B) wanted to get that conversation over as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

The clip quickly went viral, and Morgan joined a long line of memes where a man appeared to be rambling to a disinterested woman. Morgan took it in stride, tweeting “Y’ALL” with a crying laughing emoji and retweeting some responses.

It’s great to see Morgan have some fun with this. That’s what you gotta do sometimes. Also, credit to Morgan for channeling her misery into a promotional tactic. Because WWE is getting a bunch of free promotion for Sunday’s show, they wouldn’t have gotten. Morgan even promoted the show by tweeting the Ticketmaster link in response to the video.
