A slip of the tongue from Wade Barrett at WrestleMania 42 led to an unexpected moment, with one former star enjoying the attention. The accidental name drop involved Matt Morgan, who responded on social media.
The Commentary Error
During Night 1 at WrestleMania 42, Liv Morgan secured a victory over Stephanie Vaquer to capture the WWE Women’s World Championship. However, a line from the commentary momentarily shifted focus. Barrett said, “well, Matt Morgan has barely got anything in”. This gave a shoutout to someone who wasn’t even in the building.
Matt Morgan’s Reaction
Matt Morgan noticed the mention and reacted to it on social media. He was amused by the mix up. Morgan posted, “Let’s go, @StuBennett!Accidentally shouting out “Matt Morgan” during the Liv Morgan match lol! Much appreciated, my friend!Popped my house watching @WWE WrestleMania right now. Thanks from an old man now lol!” (h/t WrestlingNewsSource.com for the transcription)
Accidental Return
The moment briefly evoked a sense of 2004. Although retired, Morgan found himself part of the WrestleMania broadcast due to the accidental name drop. This shows that sometimes the best returns are completely accidental.
Now retired, Morgan’s in ring days are behind him. Thanks to one mistimed name drop, he managed to sneak onto the WrestleMania broadcast anyway.
