WWE Exec Goes Viral For Talking Liv Morgan’s Ear Off At Knicks Game
12:06 PM PT — Liv Morgan just addressed the viral moment on WWE’s “The Bump” … saying she had no idea the cameras were rolling during her conversation with Justin Scalise.
Liv says Justin was explaining something to her as she watched the game … and she was only half listening at the time.
Liv says she apologized to Justin over the reaction online … and he’s been a good sport about it.
WWE Superstar Liv Morgan appeared annoyed and uninterested as some dude chatted her up at the Knicks game on Tuesday … but as it turns out, that guy is a WWE executive!!
TMZ Sports has learned … the dude who went viral for talking a mile a minute as the Knicks lost to the Charlotte Hornets at Madison Square Garden is Justin Scalise, the wrestling org.’s senior vice president for live events.
A clip of Scalise and Morgan’s courtside interaction was quickly clipped and posted on social media … with many assuming he was trying to shoot his shot with the wrestler.
That wasn’t the case … but that didn’t stop Twitter users from posting memes and poking fun about how Scalise was probably trying to impress Liv with his NFT and crypto knowledge.
Morgan was a VIP guest at the game … just a few days before she’s slated to enter the squared circle at WWE’s Road to WrestleMania Supershow at MSG on Sunday.
She got a ton of special perks on Tuesday — including a custom jersey, video board shout-out and pics with the Knicks’ dance team.
