Speaking about the event, Morgan told The Sun: "I'm delighted to help with such a worthy cause.

"My kids are huge WWE fans, so there was no way I could turn down the opportunity to fight this cause alongside WWE's superstars."

Jenny McCarthy added: "I love the WWE and when Vince McMahon called me and said he wanted to join the fight and help families suffering with autism, I was really excited.

"Who better to have on your side in a fight than WWE?"
