Daddio is a longtime fan of professional wrestling, and would participate in backyard wrestling with her siblings.

She has described the matches as core to start her foray into wrestling:

I would literally take pedigrees and powerbombs like it was my job.

I always pretended to be Lita.

All the Divas were so glamorous and girly, and I was such a tomboy and didn't have nice clothes.

When I saw Lita come out in baggy pants and sneakers, wrestling the boys, I thought she was the coolest thing ever.

I related to her.

Daddio was a former competitive cheerleader, and worked and modelled for the restaurant chain Hooters.

There, she met her former partner Enzo Amore, who got her in touch with a wrestling gym and WWE.

In 2014, Daddio signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center, later appearing in developmental brand NXT under the Liv Morgan name.

She then competed against Royce on the November 16 episode of NXT, which ended in a disqualification after Kay interfered in the match, attacking Morgan and Aliyah until Ember Moon made the save.

The three faced off in a six-person tag team match against Kay, Royce, and Daria Berenato on the November 23 episode of NXT, with Morgan's team coming out victorious.
