Stephanie Vaquer and Liv Morgan this week became the latest female WWE stars to exchange harsh words via social media ahead of WrestleMania 42.
Their online smack talk follows the high-profile back-and-forth between Rhea Ripley and WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. The barbs between The Eradicator and The Storm began almost immediately after Ripley won the women’s Elimination Chamber match to earn a match against Jade at WrestleMania. However, their messages quickly became so heated that many began to feel
their was a deep, personal animosity between the two.
Morgan, who won the women’s Royal Rumble, will challenge Vaquer for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania, and she took to taunting the champ on X (Twitter) on Wednesday.
She called the Chilean star her “biggest hater” before referencing the claims that she too often relies on help from other members of The Judgment Day.
“To my biggest hater @Steph_Vaquer. Here I am hiding behind my trashy man and sending my friends to do my dirty work for me,” Morgan posted. “I love taking the easy way out. Love, Ignorant, lazy, & cheap blonde, Liv.”
Vaquer responded on Thursday night: “Keep tagging me for attention, Liv. Social media is the only place you’re brave enough to say my name without shaking. I hope you learn enough between now and WrestleMania.”
The exchange is a far cry for the highly contentious social media interactions between Ripley and Cargill, which garnered much attention in the wrestling world. Their insults escalated quickly after Jade accused Rhea of benefiting from favoritism from WWE Creative, which led to Ripley insulting Cargill for her lack of title defenses.
Before long, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven were also drawn into the online feud after Green complimented Rhea for being “respectful” and “the most talented wrestler in the world,” prompting backlash from Jade. Niven responded by noting that Green hadn’t even mentioned the champ.
“Contrary to your belief, the world doesn’t actually revolve around you,” Niven wrote to Cargill.
According to the not-always-reliable Dave Meltzer, the beef between Cargill and Ripley was planned by WWE Creative but was tapping into real issues between the two stars. According to Meltzer’s report on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE even included Green and Niven into the online feud to make it seem more real.
As of now, there have been no reports of legitimate, lingering backstage tensions between Vaquer and Morgan, though that’s not to say a rivalry hasn’t been burgeoning.
What do you think? Is there real beef between Vaquer and Morgan, or are they riding the coattails of Jade and Rhea for media attention? And what’s your general stance on using social media for wrestling angles? Let us know in the comments.
