WWE has confirmed that Liv Morgan will be out of action for an extended period. The announcement was made during the June 23rd episode of Monday Night Raw.
Morgan, one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, suffered a separated shoulder. The injury occurred just seconds into her match against Kairi Sane on the previous week's Raw.
Reports indicated that Morgan would require surgery for the injury. This suggested any upcoming plans, including a rumored match at the Evolution event, would be changed.

Future Of WWE Tag Team Titles
The injury has major consequences for the women's division. It has also put the future of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in question.
A planned feud between Morgan and the returning Nikki Bella is now off. That program was expected to lead to a major match at the Evolution event in July.
WWE has not yet made an official announcement regarding the tag team titles. However, reports suggest the championships will not be vacated, and a replacement partner for Raquel Rodriguez may be named.
Morgan signed with WWE in 2014, developing her skills in NXT before debuting on the main roster in 2017 as part of The Riott Squad. After the group disbanded, she slowly built a passionate following as a singles competitor, leading to a massive breakout year in 2022.
That year, Morgan won the Money in the Bank ladder match and cashed in the contract on the same night to defeat Ronda Rousey for her first SmackDown Women's Championship. She later found success in the tag team division, winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship on two occasions with Raquel Rodriguez.
In 2024, she returned from injury with a more aggressive persona, capturing the Women's World Championship from Becky Lynch.
