Morgan, who was born in Morristown and grew up in Elmwood Park, will be competing at "WrestleMania", held on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The 28-year-old, whose real name is Gionna Daddio, will be teaming up with Raquel Rodriguez in a fatal four-way tag team match. This will be Morgan's third appearance at WWE's premiere event.
Morgan grew up a huge WWE fan. In the backyard of her home in Elmwood Park, Morgan and her four brothers built a makeshift ring and held their own wrestling matches, she told WWE.com in an interview.
In 2014, she was discovered by WWE at Joe DeFranco's Gym in Wyckoff.
It has been quite the year for Morgan, who has rocketed to the top of the card. In July, she captured the Women's Championship, defeating Ronda Rousey, holding the belt for almost 100 days. In January in the Women's Royal Rumble match, Morgan lasted over an hour and was the last woman eliminated. Her Instagram page has two million followers.
Outside the ring, Morgan has dabbled in acting, appearing on the show "Chucky." She is also set to star in "The Kill Room" with Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson.
