Liv Morgan Stirs Controversy with Riyadh Season Celebration Post – Liv Morgan is already embracing the atmosphere surrounding Riyadh Season as WWE prepares for a historic milestone in Saudi Arabia. WWE Royal Rumble will take place in the Kingdom for the first time on January 31, 2026, and the event will be part of the ongoing sixth edition of Riyadh Season. Ahead of the major premium live event, the former Women’s World Champion shared a glimpse of her experience by posting a photo on X, showing herself enjoying shisha.
Shisha is one of the most popular social traditions in Saudi Arabia and across much of the Middle East. It involves flavored tobacco mixed with molasses and glycerin, smoked through a tall water pipe, commonly referred to as a hookah. Sharing shisha is often a relaxed, communal activity, typically enjoyed in cafés or homes as a social experience rather than something rushed or hidden.
Morgan’s post quickly drew attention, with some fans mistakenly assuming she was smoking marijuana. That interpretation was incorrect. The image clearly shows Morgan holding a glass hookah, which is specifically used for smoking shisha. Once the misunderstanding was clarified, the situation highlighted a cultural difference that many fans outside the region may not immediately recognize.
The timing of Morgan’s post is notable, as WWE continues to promote Royal Rumble 2026 as a landmark event. It will be the first of WWE’s traditional “Big Five” premium live events to be held in Saudi Arabia, with WrestleMania 43 also scheduled to take place in the country at a later date. WWE’s expanded partnership with Saudi Arabia has already included several large-scale events, but the Royal Rumble’s arrival represents another significant step in that relationship.
Liv Morgan has been positioned as a key figure in the promotion surrounding the event. She appears on the official Royal Rumble 2026 poster, signaling that WWE sees her as an important part of the show’s presentation. While no matches or storylines have been confirmed yet, Morgan’s inclusion suggests she could play a meaningful role when the event takes place.
As anticipation builds toward January 2026, moments like this show WWE talent engaging with local culture and promoting the event beyond the ring. For Morgan, the post was a simple celebration of Riyadh Season, but it also tied directly into one of the most significant WWE events ever held in Saudi Arabia.
