Liv Morgan injury update: WWE star will 'miss several months' after shoulder injury
WWE star Liv Morgan will 'miss several months of action' after she suffered a shoulder injury. The announcement was made by commentator Corey Graves during Monday Night Raw on June 23. It was expected Morgan would miss significant time as a result of her injury, but the severity of it was unknown. Morgan is also one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez. Advertisement The plans on the titles haven't been announced, as Rodriguez could either continue the reign alongside someone else or the titles could be vacated. There is a chance Rodriguez and Morgan could hold onto the championships until Morgan returns. Liv Morgan during the Women's Royal Rumble during the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 at Lucas Oil Stadium. What happened to Liv Morgan? Morgan suffered the injury in a match with Kairi Sane during Monday Night Raw on June 16. In the early stages of the contest, Sane dropped to her knees to perform a single-leg takedown. Morgan went face first on the mat and her right shoulder also hit the ground. Morgan immediately yelled in pain and rolled out of the ring as the referee prevented Sane from performing any other move. Advertisement Medical personnel came to check on Morgan outside of the ring, and the match was eventually called off as Morgan was escorted out of the arena. Sane was declared winner by forfeit. Liv Morgan return: When could she come back? While the severity of Morgan's injury is unknown, Morgan won't be appearing in WWE in the foreseeable future. Morgan was scheduled to attend Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20-22, but was pulled from the event after her injury. A shoulder dislocation can sideline athletes for months. The timeline of return depends on the severity of the injury and whether surgery is necessary. The Mayo Clinic says the shoulder would improve "over a few weeks" if surgery is not needed, but if surgery is performed, full recovery can take five to six months. Advertisement Shoulder injuries have been an issue for the two-time Women's World Champion. In 2023, Morgan missed six months of action after she dislocated her shoulder in a match with Rhea Ripley, which turned out to be a labrum tear and she required surgery. Should Morgan miss around five months, she would return around the same time as Survivor Series on Nov. 29, or could possibly wait to return at Royal Rumble in January 2026, similar to how she did in 2024. Morgan was in her fourth reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez, a record for the title. The duo won the titles at Raw After WrestleMania on April 21 and they lost them to Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch one day earlier at WrestleMania 41.

Popular WWE Superstar Suffers Serious Injury During 'Raw' Match
Popular WWE Superstar Suffers Serious Injury During 'Raw' Match originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of WWE's most popular superstars suffered an injury on "Monday Night Raw." The red brand opened up with Liv Morgan, who was accompanied by Dominik Mysterio. She addressed ambushing Nikki Bella last week and then turned her attention to WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky. Advertisement First, Morgan needed to get past Kairi Sane in a rematch from their showdown during the May 26 episode of "Raw." Unfortunately for Morgan, she suffered a legitimate injury. During her match with Sane, Morgan went down on the mat off a routine takedown. One half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion landed awkwardly on her arm and immediately rolled out of the ring in pain. Doctors checked on Morgan outside of the ring as "Raw" went to a commercial break. Back from the break, Sane was declared the winner, as Morgan could not continue. Footage aired of Morgan being helped up the ramp by WWE's medical team. Advertisement Later on, play-by-play commentator Michael Cole announced that the initial diagnosis for Morgan was a dislocated shoulder. As of now, there's no timeframe for Morgan's recovery. One would think this casts doubt on WWE's plans to have Morgan face Nikki Bella in some capacity at "Evolution." It would also appear that WWE will have to hold off on any potential plans that were in place for a rivalry between Morgan and Sky. Morgan is one of WWE's top stars. She plays a key role on the "Monday Night Raw" brand, often appearing in multiple segments each week.

WWE star Liv Morgan's biggest rival slams ‘disgusting' fans after injury
The post WWE star Liv Morgan's biggest rival slams 'disgusting' fans after injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Despite being rivals, Rhea Ripley cares about Liv Morgan, and she sent a message to fans celebrating the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion's injury. Advertisement She took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out fans who were celebrating Morgan's injury. 'PSA. Don't celebrate an injury,' said Ripley. 'Disgusting behavior. Don't be like them.' We wish Morgan a speedy recovery from her latest injury. The extent of it is unclear, but it is reportedly '100% a legitimate injury,' according to PWInsider. Hopefully, Morgan will return to the ring sooner rather than later. Liv Morgan's latest WWE injury During the June 16, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW, Morgan took on Kairi Sane in a singles match. In the opening moments, Sane avoided a kick by Morgan, throwing her to the ground. Advertisement Morgan landed awkwardly on her right arm. The slow-motion replays show her facial expression after falling, and she appeared hurt. She was writhing in pain before sliding out of the ring. She was unable to finish the match. So, Sane was declared the winner. It is unclear whether or not they will resume their feud upon Morgan's return. Hopefully, Morgan will have a speedy recovery. She returned from a different shoulder injury in 2023 that kept her on the shelf for roughly six months. Upon her return, Morgan has been on a tear. She won the Women's World Championship from Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring in May 2024. Morgan would hold it for 226 days before losing it to Ripley. Advertisement Currently, Morgan is in her record-setting fourth reign as Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez. They lost the titles to Lynch and Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41 before regaining them one night later. Now, their fourth reign is put in danger of being ended if Morgan has to relinquish the title. Again, we will have to wait and see what the prognosis is. Morgan is already a two-time Women's World Champion in her career. She has also won the Money in the Bank ladder match once in her career (in 2022). Morgan also became the inaugural Women's Crown Jewel Champion in 2024 after beating Nia Jax at the namesake event.

WWE star Liv Morgan's injury gets ‘severe' update
The post WWE star Liv Morgan's injury gets 'severe' update appeared first on ClutchPoints. For those who thought WWE Superstar Liv Morgan's shoulder injury on Monday Night RAW on Netflix was scripted, it was '100% legitimate.' Advertisement PWInsider reports Morgan's injury was not part of a storyline. She was brought backstage after she dislocated her shoulder, and WWE is still waiting to get the official severity of the injury. 'If it is a severe dislocation, it could be upwards of 16 weeks before someone is cleared for athletic activity, but again, this is all dependent on the final diagnosis in terms of how severe the dislocation is[,] and that has not been determined as of this writing,' the report read. Luckily, Morgan's opponent, Kairi Sane, who was in the ring during Zoey Stark's recent scare, doesn't have any 'heat' on her for the injury. 'It was being seen as a freak occurrence[,] and there is no heat on anyone,' PWInsider notes. WWE star Liv Morgan's shoulder injury During the June 16, 2025, edition of RAW, Morgan faced Sane in a singles match. The injury occurred within the opening seconds of the match. Sane ducked under a kick by Morgan, pulling her down before the former Women's World Champion landed awkwardly. Advertisement Right after dislocating her shoulder, Morgan rolled out of the ring. The slow-motion replays showed Morgan's bad landing, and she was immediately writhing in pain upon her landing. WWE officials helped Morgan to the back. Her match against Sane did not have a definitive winner. Sane was named the winner due to Morgan leaving, but the score will have to be settled upon her return. Some fans must have been celebrating the injury, as Morgan's rival, Rhea Ripley, stood up for her on X, formerly Twitter. 'PSA. Don't celebrate an injury,' Ripley wrote. 'Disgusting behavior. Don't be like them.' We will have to wait and see how long Morgan is out of action. She is in the midst of her record-setting fourth Women's Tag Team Championship reign with Raquel Rodriguez. Advertisement Additionally, she is entrenched in a Judgment Day storyline involving Roxanne Perez. It appears Perez is trying to take her spot in the faction, attempting to win Dominik Mysterio over. Morgan is also coming off her first 'major' movie role. She will star in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo alongside Shun Oguri and Lily James. We are all hoping for a speedy recovery for Morgan.

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. Advertisement 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.' Advertisement '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.
