The pro wrestling world has seen their share of stalker drama, and its all horrifying to see. Fans can sometimes go beyond what is appropriate, and this is another case of a stalker who went way too far.
Shawn Chan is charged with one count of interstate domestic violence involving Liv Morgan. He is currently scheduled to stand trial on January 12, 2026. On December 17, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, asked both the prosecution and defense to confirm by December 19 whether the proposed trial date is acceptable.
A status update filed with the court on December 14 indicated that the defense anticipates filing a rule that signals an intent to introduce an insanity defense. This could cause the government to request a continuance, which may potentially delay the trial past January.
According to court records, Shawn Chan traveled from Scarborough, Ontario, to Orlando, Florida, on May 26, the same day he was issued a passport. After he got there, he told customs officials he planned to stay at the WWE Performance Center. The thing is that the WWE Performance Center does not provide housing. Four days later, Chan traveled several hours to Morgans home, where he circled the property, and entered through the backyard. He attempted to access the front door, and remained on the premises for several hours.
The criminal complaint states that Shawn Chan handled an air pellet located on Liv Morgans front porch and left a handwritten note identifying himself by name. He also provided his Canadian address and phone number. He departed the property after leaving those momentos. WWE security later reviewed surveillance footage from Morgans home, recognized Chan, and notified authorities.
Chan was arrested by the FBI on June 3 and indicted on June 25. He faces up to five years in prison if hes convicted and he has remained in federal custody since his arrest. Hes had multiple requests for release, but they were all denied.
An earlier unopposed motion to delay the trial cited an initial psychological evaluation that diagnosed delusional disorder and noted that additional expert evaluations were required, which would also allow the government to conduct its own examination if the defense expert testifies.
If this rule that could be an insanity defense is filed, the court is expected to revisit the current trial schedule. This makes the January 12 date tentative, pending further developments. Only time will tell how it all pans out, but this story may not be over by a long shot.
