"Shoutout to Liv Morgan who recently got injured, she was like my MVP for the year," CM Punk said. "I look at people like Liv who probably started right after I left, 2014-ish, and just from the time I've been around her and been able to see her work, just the way she's developed this last year and just broken out of her shell and turned into this little worker, it kinda warms my heart."
