A Look Back At Heavy Machinery Replacing….Liv Morgan?

Liv Morgan’s documentary keeps producing news.

Morgan was pulled from a 2019 dark match with Ember Moon, which set off a small chain of events. As Fightful Select revealed, it wasn’t how WWE would have wanted it, ideally.

You may have seen in the Liv Morgan documentary that premiered on the WWE Network that they confirmed a Fightful Select news bit from 14 months ago. Heavy Machinery was sent to the ring in basketball shorts and tank tops to wrestle because WWE pulled Liv Morgan and Ember Moon at the last minute. Fightful was told in the following days and reiterated this week that there was a lot of “checking on” Otis and Tucker following the match as WWE doesn’t like their wrestlers to perform without warming up, and there have been instances in recent years where it’s led to injury, so it was a concern in the days following the abrupt spot. Otis and Tucker worked a quick match and gained some favor in the locker room for doing it.

Morgan would eventually return to WWE TV in October 2019.
