WWE commentator Wade Barrett introduced a new nickname for Liv Morgan, referring to her as “Babycakes,” during the recent WWE Backlash premium live event. The unexpected name surfaced while Barrett provided commentary for Dominik Mysterio’s title defense.

The context for the nickname arose when Mysterio executed Morgan’s signature finisher, the ObLIVion, on his opponent Penta. This occurred during their match for the Intercontinental Championship at the event.

Responding to fellow commentator Michael Cole’s confusion, Barrett elaborated on the term. He explained that “Babycakes” is reportedly a mutual pet name used between Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan.

Following its mention on the broadcast, the “Babycakes” moniker has apparently gained some traction among WWE fans. Reports indicate some viewers have started using the nickname when discussing Morgan online.

Liv Morgan is currently on hiatus from WWE television. She has been away for roughly two weeks to film a role in the movie “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo,” and her return date remains unconfirmed.
