Liv Morgan’s new entrance theme almost sounded very different, as WWE originally planned to use a licensed song instead of the original track fans now associate with her.
According to Bodyslam.net, WWE had early discussions about giving Morgan a licensed theme to match her rebellious character shift. The company reportedly looked into using Reneé Rapp’s song “Leave Me Alone” as her entrance music before ultimately deciding not to move forward with that plan. The exact reason the licensed track wasn’t used hasn’t been confirmed.
Even though WWE passed on the licensed song, the direction they wanted didn’t change. Instead, the company moved ahead with producing an original theme called “Trouble,” which was created to carry a similar sound and attitude to the track they had originally considered. The goal was still to give Morgan a theme that fit her new chaotic persona, even without the mainstream song attached.
The original music plan came together as Morgan’s character transformation was gaining traction, with WWE building a more rebellious image around her through music, visuals, and presentation. That shift paid off in a major way during WrestleMania 42, when Morgan debuted the “Trouble” theme on one of the biggest stages possible before defeating Stephanie Vaquer to win the Women’s Championship.
While fans are now familiar with “Trouble,” the behind-the-scenes talks show WWE had bigger music ideas in mind from the beginning, and Morgan was very close to walking out to a licensed hit instead of an original theme.
Do you think WWE should have used the licensed Reneé Rapp song, or was creating “Trouble” the better move for Liv Morgan’s entrance? Let us know what you think and drop your thoughts in the comments.
