An obsessed Canadian pro wrestling fan was arrested after showing up at WWE superstar Liv Morgan’s home with an air rifle, before leaving a handwritten note on her porch claiming it was just a ‘friendly visit.’ 

Shawn Chan, 41, of Scarborough, Ontario, was taken into custody earlier this month at the WWE Performance Center after security recognized him from surveillance footage attempting to break into Morgan’s Florida home while carrying an air rifle, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit obtained by The Independent.

Before leaving, Chan left a handwritten note that read: ‘I came here to pay just a friendly visit, nothing more… Yea, I just wanted to let you know that I was here,’ the court docs allege.

Chan is currently being held at the Paso County Detention Center, where he faces a domestic violence charge. He faces up to five years behind bars if convicted.

‘She expressed concern that her home address was known to the public and that two other individuals had shown up to her residence without invitation or notice,’ the affidavit read.

‘The victim explained she does not bring fan mail into the house because of the number of concerning messages she receives.’

A federal court filing unsealed on Friday alleges that Chan obtained a passport on the very day he boarded a flight to Orlando – the same city where Morgan lives and trains. 

Although the 31-year-old wrestler isn’t named in the court docs, the dates and details align with contemporaneous reports about Chan’s June arrest on state charges related to Morgan, as reported by The Independent.

However, the release of the affidavit revealed that Chan’s alleged stalking began in May, according to the documents.

On May 26, the Canadian citizen boarded a flight to Orlando and told US customs upon arrival that he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center – a training facility that offers no lodging accommodations. 

According to the affidavit, the center serves as a ‘state-of-the-art training facility designed to develop well-rounded athletes with aspirations of joining the WWE,’ and ‘does not have any hotel rooms, dorm rooms or other lodging.’

After just four days in Orlando, Chan allegedly took a two-hour trip west of the city and arrived at a residence that, according to court docs, appears to match the description of Morgan’s home.

Video footage showed a man, believed to be Chan, arriving just after 5 p.m. on May 31 – dressed in a black shirt, tan shorts, and a black baseball cap, with a large black backpack slung over his shoulder, as reported by The Independent.

Instead of using the driveway, chilling footage allegedly showed Chan sneaking through the yard – circling the property twice before finally stepping onto the front porch. 

Once at the front door, the affidavit states, he allegedly began searching for a way inside – specifically reaching around the doormat, presumably in search of a spare key hidden underneath.

He then shifted focus to the door handle, where court docs allege he ‘touched around the bottom of the door, swiped the locking mechanism on the door several times with his hand, grabbed the front door handle and leaned into the door attempting to open it.’

After failing to break in, Chan allegedly retrieved a long air rifle pellet gun (pictured) that he had left ominously propped against the front porch wall - a weapon capable of firing metal pellets at 600 feet per second, per the court docs

After failing to break in, Chan allegedly retrieved a long air rifle pellet gun that he had left ominously propped against the front porch wall.

‘The air rifle is a Sig Sauer MCX.177 air rifle capable of firing metal pellets at 600 feet per second,’ according to the affidavit.

‘Chan can be seen sitting on the front porch with the pellet gun before standing and walking to the front door,’ it added.

According to court docs, the 41-year-old wrestling fanatic lingered around the property for more than two hours, seemingly waiting for Morgan to return – though she was out of town at the time, The Independent reported.

Chan allegedly then left a note on the porch alongside several delivered packages, in which he claimed to have been wronged by the gaming community while insisting he was simply paying her a ‘friendly visit.’ 

The note, according to the affidavit, also included Chan’s home address in Canada and his phone number.

On June 3, just days after allegedly staking out Morgan’s home, Chan attended the WWE Performance Center, where court filings state she is known to ‘make appearances.’ 

While it remains unclear whether the women’s tag team champion was at the facility that day, security quickly recognized Chan from surveillance footage and alerted law enforcement to his presence.

Deputies then arrived on the scene, took Chan into custody, and conducted a search of his belongings, as reported by The Independent.

Among his belongings, officers discovered two mysterious bottles of liquid, each adorned with Chinese writing.

When questioned about the liquid, Chan allegedly dismissed it as medication – one of which he claimed to carry in case of injury, to treat ailments like bleeding, according to the affidavit.

‘Chan was also in possession of a Canadian passport in his name, which was issued May 26, 2025… the same day he traveled to Orlando,’ the docs allege.

After seeing the footage, Morgan later told officers that she had no idea who Chan was and expressed concern over what personal information of hers might have been made public. 

Chan was indicted on Wednesday on one count of interstate domestic violence and is scheduled to appear in Orlando federal court for arraignment on July 18.
