The trial for Shawn Chan, the Canadian man facing a charge of interstate domestic violence against WWE’s Liv Morgan, will not proceed next month as scheduled. Chan is accused of traveling to the United States and loitering for hours at Morgan’s Florida residence.
Trial Delayed for Further Evaluation
A new unopposed motion filed with the court seeks to postpone the trial by two months, potentially moving its earliest start date to January 2026. According to the motion, “Mr. Chan is charged with the interstate stalking of a professional wrestler. An initial psychological evaluation done to examine his competency diagnosed delusional disorder.” The filing adds, “The Defense has retained an expert to more fully evaluate Mr. Chan for purposes of trial, and likely to testify. If this second expert will provide testimony, the Government will have a right to conduct its own examination.”
Details of the Alleged Incident
Chan reportedly flew from Scarborough, Ontario, to Orlando, Florida, on May 26th, the same day his passport was issued. He informed customs agents he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center, which does not offer housing. Four days later, the criminal complaint alleges, Chan journeyed several hours to Liv Morgan’s home. He allegedly circled the property, entered her backyard, and unsuccessfully tried to get in the front door. He is said to have picked up an air pellet located on her front porch, waited for several hours, and then left a note before departing.
Note Left at Morgan’s Home
The criminal complaint states that the note Chan left at the home included his name, Canadian address, and phone number. It read, in part, “It’s me Shawn the guy you all hang out with on [gaming platform deleted] online. You’ve been trying to contact me, or should I say reach out to me when I’m absent from that game. So who’s the stalker huh?! I NEVER said and did anything bad for over 10 years, yet you all dared hating me for no reason. I came here to pay just a friendly visit, nothing more. Yet, I’m the one who looks like a stalker thx to all of you. And you all think I’m going to have empathy, sympathy and care about any of you anymore? I will start talking and doing whatever I want despite all your shoosh finger faces that you all make. Yea, I just wanted to let you know that I was here.”
Arrest and Potential Sentence
The FBI arrested Chan on June 3rd. His arrest occurred after WWE security staff viewed security footage from Morgan’s home, recognized Chan, and contacted authorities. Chan was indicted on June 25th and is facing five years in prison.
