Advertisement Morgan is currently one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Raquel Rodriguez. WWE has not announced what will happen to the titles. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder June 16 during her match against Kairi Sane on Raw. The incident happened shortly after the match started when Morgan received a single-leg takedown from Sane. The move was performed properly, however, Morgan yelled in pain and the match was immediately paused. WWE superstar Liv Morgan throws the ceremonial first pitch before the Colorado Rockies-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo., in 2022.

The nuptials, which were preceded by a star-studded welcome party, are being capped off with a final blowout bash on Saturday night, June 28. A source told PEOPLE that two of the newlyweds' friends and favorite musicians, Usher and DJ Cassidy, will perform at the party. "[They're] going to set the tone. Tonight is all about the music," the source said of the musical performances. "It's the culmination, the final big party." "First night was dinner, second was the ceremony with Andrea Bocelli's son performing, and tonight's the full-on dance floor," the source added. Ahead of the soirée, a number of the couple's celebrity guests were photographed getting into water taxis en route to the venue, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and Brooks Nader.
