Federal Authorities Take Over Liv Morgan Stalker Case After NXT Performance Center Incident

The chaos that erupted at WWE’s Performance Center during Tuesday night’s NXT tapings has taken a dramatic turn. What started as rumors and speculation has now blown into a full-scale federal investigation involving Liv Morgan and a suspected stalker who pushed things way too far.

WWE Confirms Second Arrest at Performance Center

Multiple WWE insiders have broken their silence to PWInsider, revealing that Tuesday’s events were far more complex than initially reported. While Orange County police were dealing with one arrest, an entirely separate and much more serious situation was unfolding simultaneously.

The wrestling community had been buzzing with unconfirmed reports about someone targeting Liv Morgan. Those whispers? They weren’t just backstage gossip.

According to WWE sources speaking anonymously, the stalking allegations were legitimate, and the suspect “indeed apprehended” during the tapings.

Federal Investigation Takes Priority Over Local Law Enforcement

Here’s where things get really interesting for wrestling fans who follow these situations closely. This wasn’t your typical security incident handled by local deputies.

“The arrest was not carried out by local law enforcement, suggesting that a higher-level agency is now involved in the matter.”

When federal authorities step into a WWE-related incident, it signals the severity has escalated beyond anything we typically see in professional wrestling. The suspect remains locked up as of Wednesday, though officials are keeping additional details under wraps.

Separate Incident Adds to Performance Center Drama

Wrestling fans need to understand that two completely different arrests happened that night. The confirmed booking of Shawn Chan around 10:49 p.m. was entirely unrelated to the Liv Morgan situation.

Chan’s arrest stemmed from an outstanding burglary warrant out of Pasco County. Orange County Sheriff’s Office handled that case, and it had zero connection to WWE’s programming or talent beyond happening near the facility.

The timing created confusion among wrestling reporters and fans tracking the story, but these were separate incidents involving different suspects and different law enforcement agencies.

What This Means for WWE Security Moving Forward

The fact that federal authorities deemed it necessary to intervene speaks volumes about the threat level WWE talent faced. When stalking cases cross state lines or involve digital communications, federal agencies often take jurisdiction due to their broader investigative capabilities.

For Liv Morgan, who has been building momentum as one of WWE’s featured performers, this incident represents the darker side of celebrity that wrestlers unfortunately face. The Performance Center, typically considered one of the most secure wrestling facilities in the industry, became the center of a multi-agency law enforcement response.

With one suspect still in federal custody and investigations ongoing, how will this incident change WWE’s security protocols for their talent, and what other details might emerge as this federal case develops?
