Liv Morgan slams WWE star as 'ugliest man ever' ahead of SummerSlam

2026-07-19 · Liv Morgan · Player Focus

Liv Morgan, the reigning WWE Women's World Champion, sparked controversy during the SummerSlam Kickoff Show at Fanatics Fest in New York City. On July 19, 2024, Morgan called Danhausen the 'ugliest man I have ever seen in my entire life' during a heated exchange with The Judgment Day's JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio.

What happened at the SummerSlam Kickoff?

Danhausen and JD McDonagh had a war of words at the event, with Morgan interrupting to deliver her scathing remark. Danhausen responded by reminding Morgan she was still cursed before minihausens chased her offstage. Earlier in the night, Danhausen defeated McDonagh in a No Disqualifications match at Saturday Night's Main Event, with help from NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.

Why Liv Morgan's comments matter

Morgan's outburst adds fuel to the fire ahead of her Women's World Championship defense against IYO SKY at SummerSlam. The 32-year-old champion has been vocal about her in-ring fears in the past, admitting she was once terrified of performing in front of live audiences. 'You can do anything you put your mind to,' Morgan said in a recent Cameo appearance, reflecting on her journey from stage fright to WWE stardom.

What's next for Liv Morgan?

Morgan will defend her title against IYO SKY at SummerSlam, capping off a dramatic build-up that included Danhausen's curse and Mysterio's involvement. The champion's confidence seems unshaken despite the supernatural threats, as she prepares to face the Queen of the Ring tournament winner in what promises to be a high-stakes matchup.
