For those of you who are unfamiliar, Liv Morgan (real name: Gionna Jene Daddio) is a former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Tuesday night, while WWE was airing NXT Roadblock, Liv was sitting in the front row at the game between the Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks.
Ostensibly, Morgan was there to create interest in the WWE show at Madison Square Garden coming up this Sunday.

As part of that promotion, the broadcasters did a voice-over announcing the event while the camera zoomed in on Liv Morgan looking very uncomfortable as some guy next to her was talking her ear off.

The entire scene was just too much for the internet to handle and resulted in dozens of hilarious comments.

“Let me tell you about the big 3, Naruto is the king of games, Luffy is a Sailor scout, & Ichigo is a Pokémon,” another fan tweeted. “If we put our hands in the air, Roman unleashes the spirit ball. Lastly, I think Kratos is a super saiyan.”

“I was investing in crypto, but then I heard Joe Rogan talk about bow hunting…so I was deciding whether to stay on the grid & become high value, or go off the grid & make the land high value,” someone else joked. “If success is the only option, then failure is the toxin. I’m alpha btw”

After the game, Liv appeared to embrace the numerous memes she had just spawned and went viral on social media with a post of her own on Instagram acknowledging her disinterested look.
She also retweeted a bunch of the comments on Twitter about her lack of interest in the whole conversation the guy was trying to have with her.
Y’ALL 😂

Turns out the guy is, according to TMZ, Justin Scalise, WWE’s senior vice president for live events.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a woman be completely disinterested in what the man next to her was saying.
Now look, all I need to do is have you..

The best example of this, however, might have been during a Milwaukee Brewers’ game in 2021 when the announcers decided to do some “bad lip reading” of a fan trying to spit game to his girl.
