She is a member of the Judgment Day stable and is the current Women's World Champion in her second reign. She is also the inaugural WWE Women's Crown Jewel Champion and a former two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez.
In 2014, Daddio signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center, later appearing in developmental brand NXT under the Liv Morgan ring name. She was promoted to the main roster in 2017 and was paired with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan to form the stable the Riott Squad. After the stable disbanded in 2019, she became a singles competitor.

[8] Daddio is a longtime fan of professional wrestling, and would participate in backyard wrestling with her siblings. [8] She has described the matches as core to start her foray into wrestling:
I would literally take pedigrees and powerbombs like it was my job. I always pretended to be Lita. All the Divas were so glamorous and girly, and I was such a tomboy and didn't have nice clothes. When I saw Lita come out in baggy pants and sneakers, wrestling the boys, I thought she was the coolest thing ever. I related to her. [8]
Daddio was a former competitive cheerleader, [4] and worked and modelled for the restaurant chain Hooters. There, she met her former partner Enzo Amore, who got her in touch with a wrestling gym and WWE. [9] [10]
In 2014, after being discovered at Joe DeFranco's gym in Wyckoff, New Jersey, [8] Daddio signed a contract with WWE, assigning her to their developmental territory, NXT in October 2014. [9] She made her first televised appearance at the NXT TakeOver: Rival pay-per-view on February 11, 2015, as a planted fan who jumped on Tyler Breeze during his entrance. [11] She appeared at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable on May 20, again as part of Breeze's entrance. [12] In October 2015, she briefly worked under the ring name Marley, [3] debuting on the November 4 episode of NXT, where she worked as a jobber and lost to Eva Marie. [13]
On the December 2 episode of NXT, Daddio made her return under the new ring name Liv Morgan, losing to Emma.

On the November 21, 2017, episode of SmackDown , Morgan made her main roster debut alongside Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan, attacking both Becky Lynch and Naomi, establishing themselves as heels in the process. On the same night, they interrupted a match between SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Natalya, then proceeded to attack both of them. [19] The following week on SmackDown, the trio, now called "The Riott Squad", made their in-ring debuts for the brand, defeating Flair, Naomi, and Natalya in a six-woman tag team match. [20] On January 28, 2018, Morgan participated in the first women's Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view as the eleventh entrant, but was eliminated by Michelle McCool.

After Morgan lost to Natalya on the June 22 episode of Raw, Ruby Riott attempted to console Morgan backstage after her loss, which she rebuffed. [42] On the August 3 episode of Raw, Riott asked Morgan to join her in reforming the Riott Squad, only to be interrupted by the IIconics, who mocked the two; this led to a tag team match where Morgan and Riott defeated the IIconics.
