How John Cena Made History at WrestleMania 41
Liv Morgan is making sure to follow God’s plan.
The reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion (real name Gionna Jene Daddio) shared her reaction to her growing Instagram following, which now includes Grammy winner Drake.
While speaking with E! News’ Francesca Amiker at Netflix’s new Netflix Bites restaurant in Las Vegas April 21, Liv played it coy about the Degrassi alum, flashing an open-mouthed grin.
“That’s the reaction,” she added with a laugh, calling herself a “big fan.”
Her tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez, however, had more to say about Drake being in Liv’s social media ring.
“I was excited for her,” she told E! News. “I’m always happy when I see these big moments. Like, that’s a big deal.”
As for who else is sliding in to Liv’s DMs to show their support? The 30-year-old kept her lips sealed, but Racquel noted that Modern Family’s Rico Rodriguez and his sister Raini Rodriguez are big fans.
“They’re so supportive,” Raquel continued. “They always text us before a show. They’re always rooting for us. Shoutout to Raini and Rico—amazing brother and sister duo.”
The 34-year-old added that comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is also a fan of her and Liv—who star in WWE Monday Night RAW, streaming weekly on Netflix.

“Fluffy is always on our side,” Raquel explained. “I think I’m his favorite wrestler. We bond over Selena, we bond over tacos. My parents love him, I love him. He loves us, too.”
But the list of stars doesn’t end there. In fact, rapper Travis Scott—who shares kids Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, with Kylie Jenner—was spotted cheering Raquel and Liv in person during WrestleMania 41 on April 20.
“Travis Scott also showed a lot of support for Liv and I,” Raquel shared, explaining how the rapper gifted Liv a pair of his Nike shoes after her initial loss in a match against Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria.
Liv added, “He was so upset that we got screwed over that he gifted me the new Travis Scotts coming out in two weeks. That was really nice, that was really supportive. Travis, thank you so much.”
