WWE Champion exits RAW match with ugly injury
The post WWE Champion exits RAW match with ugly injury appeared first on ClutchPoints.
When WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan took the ring for a match against Kairi Sane, it felt like an otherwise unremarkable middle-of-the-show match on an otherwise usual RAW.

Sure, the show had some intrigue, like a retiring Bill Goldberg announcing his final professional match, but Morgan versus Sane? No matter the outcome, that match is at best a setup for something more, as opposed to a definitive showdown with a lasting impact.
Well, while that may not have been Paul 'Triple H' Levesque's intentions, sometimes, the professional wrestling gods have other ideas, with Morgan coming up in pain after a relatively routine takedown, and the match was called off.
Explaining what happened after an unplanned commercial break, Michael Cole and Corey Graves broke the situation down, noting what the promotion knows about Morgan's injury so far.
'We mentioned moments ago Liv Morgan was injured in her match with Kairi Sane, helped to the back by medical personnel,' Cole explained. 'We can tell you now that it appears that Liv has suffered a dislocated shoulder in that matchup.'

'Unfortunate circumstance, Liv Morgan, we know this is a high-risk business,' Graves added. 'Every night, every competitor who steps in the ring puts their body at risk. Best wishes to Liv, we'll keep you posted.'
'Yeah, stay tuned to WWE's social media channels throughout the week for the latest on Liv Morgan,' Cole concluded
While Morgan wasn't in the running to win Queen of the Ring at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, with Roxanne Perez winning their four-person bracket earlier in the month, she was pushing hard for an angle with IYO SKY, with the duo potentially on the books for a match at the Kingdom Arena had everything shook out perfectly. While a dislocated shoulder isn't a long-term injury, only time will tell when Morgan can return and what she will look like when that day comes.

Marlins use 8th-inning rally to beat Diamondbacks 6-4, win 7th straight game
PHOENIX (AP) — Otto Lopez hit a go-ahead, two-run single and Kyle Stowers added a three-run double during an eighth-inning rally and the Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Sunday. The streaking Marlins have won seven in a row. The Diamondbacks took a 2-1 lead into the eighth inning, but lefty Jalen Beeks walked the bases loaded with two outs. Lopez then hit a line drive into left that scored Liam Hicks and Dane Myers for a 3-2 lead. Agustin Ramirez was intentionally walked to load the bases again and Stowers hit a bases-clearing double to push the advantage to 6-2. Arizona's pitchers walked 10 batters and the team dropped its fourth straight game to fall below .500 at 41-42. Beeks (2-1) gave up five earned runs and recorded just two outs, one day after giving up three earned runs and recording one out in an 8-7 loss. D-backs lefty Eduardo Rodríguez had another good outing, giving up one run on four hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five. The 32-year-old had a 1.98 ERA over 27 1/3 innings in June. Miami's Cal Quantrill gave up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings, striking out five. Lake Bachar (4-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief and Ronny Henriquez handled the ninth for his third save. Ketel Marte's solo homer in the third put the D-backs up 2-1. It was his 17th homer of the season. Key moment The D-backs cut it to 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth, but Calvin Faucher struck out Jake McCarthy with runners on first and second to end the threat. Key stat Arizona's bullpen is one of the worst in baseball with a 5.22 ERA coming into Sunday's game. Up next The Marlins return home to face the Minnesota Twins and RHP Joe Ryan (8-3, 2.86 ERA) on Tuesday. The D-backs continue their homestand on Monday when RHP Ryne Nelson (4-2, 3.71) takes the mound against the San Francisco Giants and RHP Logan Webb (7-5, 2.52). ___ AP MLB:

Guatemala beats Canada on penalty kicks in Gold Cup quarterfinal thriller
MINNEAPOLIS — José Morales sent Guatemala to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with the clincher over Canada in a 6-5 penalty-kick decision after a 1-1 draw on Sunday. Rubio Rubín scored the tying goal with a header in the 69th minute for Guatemala, which faces the Costa Rica-United States winner in the semifinals in St. Louis on Wednesday. Mexico plays Honduras in the other semifinal in Santa Clara, California. The championship is in Houston on July 6. The seven-round shootout was a fitting end to a fast-paced and feisty contest that went down as one of the best of this biennial tournament for North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The blue-and-white-clad fans of Guatemala flocked to U.S. Bank Stadium and made the crowd sound almost like a sold-out NFL game inside the home of the Minnesota Vikings with the translucent roof. Jonathan David scored on a penalty kick in the 30th minute for Canada, which won its group with two wins and one draw. Dayne St. Clair, an MLS All-Star who plays just a few miles away for Minnesota United, made two saves for the Reds in regulation against a consistent if erratic attack as Guatemala had an 11-5 edge in shot attempts and a 58% possession rate. Canada forward Jacob Sheffelburg was ejected in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card, after lowering his elbow during a mid-air collision for the ball that knocked Guatemala defender Stheven Robles to the ground. Oscar Santis had a shot for Guatemala from just outside the box off a high-bouncing ball that he booted over the top of the net in the 53rd minute, but he set up Rubín's header with a textbook cross from the left sideline. Guatemala, which finished second in its group with two wins and one loss, went second during the penalty-kick thriller and nearly blew it when José Pinto sailed his shot over the net after Kenderson Navarro stopped Cyle Larin's attempt to start the sixth round. After Luc Rollet's shot for Canada bounced off the crossbar, the defender pulled his shirt up over his face in frustration. Then Morales won it by going dead center as St. Clair dived left. ___ AP soccer:
