Liv Morgan Out with Shoulder Injury, Surgery Required—WWE Tag Title Status Uncertain

WWE Star Liv Morgan Will Require Surgery

One of WWE’s most prominent female stars is officially sidelined. PWInsider has confirmed that Liv Morgan suffered a separated shoulder during her brief match against Kairi Sane on this week’s episode of WWE Raw, and will require surgery—a blow that could keep the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion out of action for months.

The injury occurred early in the bout, just moments after the opening bell, and led to a rushed conclusion. Mike Johnson of PWInsider described the situation as “pretty much the worst case scenario,” with internal sources indicating a long recovery ahead. While no official timetable has been released by WWE, the expected recovery for this type of injury could stretch as long as 16 weeks, according to earlier reporting from PWI.

This puts Morgan’s immediate future in serious doubt—not just in terms of in-ring action, but also regarding her championship reign. WWE has yet to announce whether she and her tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez will be forced to vacate the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Given Morgan’s extended absence, a title vacancy or interim title scenario appears increasingly likely.

The injury also throws a wrench into creative plans heading into the Evolution premium live event. Just before her match with Sane, Morgan had called out WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY, demanding a rematch for the title she previously lost. She also seemed to be setting up a program with WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who returned last week to promote Evolution. That moment hinted at a possible tag team match involving the Bella Twins, but all of that is now up in the air.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select noted during Wednesday’s edition of The Hump that WWE’s creative team is already reworking plans for Evolution in light of Morgan’s injury, though specifics on what was originally intended remain under wraps.

For now, fans will have to wait and see how WWE adjusts. Liv Morgan’s absence leaves a noticeable gap in both the women’s tag division and the Evolution build—but knowing WWE, the show will go on. Just not exactly as planned.

Injury Update: Liv Morgan Legitimately Hurt on WWE Raw, Dislocation Confirmed

Unfortunately, it’s not part of a storyline — Liv Morgan’s recent injury is very real, and WWE is treating it with serious concern.

There had been some early speculation online that Liv’s injury might be a cover to write her off TV for an outside project, but according to a new report from PWInsider, that’s absolutely not the case. The former Women’s Champion was reportedly evaluated immediately backstage by WWE medical staff after the incident occurred, and the company is now awaiting a full medical assessment to determine how long she’ll be out of action.

Initial word is that Liv suffered a dislocation, though the full severity hasn’t yet been confirmed. If it turns out to be a serious case, she could be looking at up to 16 weeks on the sidelines — a timeline that could stretch even longer depending on the complexity of the injury.

Right now, WWE is treading carefully and monitoring her recovery process closely.

Sources describe the incident as a “freak accident,” with no heat or blame placed on any of the talent involved. These kinds of injuries can happen suddenly, even during routine in-ring work, and there’s a sense of disappointment rather than frustration backstage — especially given Liv’s recent high-profile push.

Liv has been front and center in WWE programming over the past few weeks, and her momentum has been undeniable. This injury puts a major speed bump in that run, but if history is any indicator, she’s as tough and determined as they come.

We’ll keep you posted as soon as WWE provides an official update on her status. Here’s wishing Liv a speedy and complete recovery.

Report: Liv Morgan Stalker Reportedly Arrested Outside WWE Performance Center

A troubling situation unfolded outside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on Tuesday night, as reports have surfaced about the arrest of an alleged stalker targeting WWE Superstar Liv Morgan.

The initial report came from NaJee of the Wrestling Heroes and Insiders Wrestling Podcast, who stated that the individual was apprehended on-site by local authorities. NaJee also claimed that multiple bags of potential evidence were seized during the arrest. The report was later corroborated by Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, who added that WWE was aware of the situation and had contacted the police themselves.

Ongoing Investigation, Limited Details

As of now, specifics regarding the identity of the suspect or the charges filed have not been publicly disclosed. However, The Takedown via Sports Illustrated noted that the suspect is currently in police custody.

Neither the Orlando Police Department nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has officially confirmed the arrest at the time of this writing. It remains unclear what the suspect’s intentions were or whether Liv Morgan was present at the Performance Center when the incident occurred.

Morgan, a top star on WWE’s main roster, did not appear on this week’s episode of NXT, which was taped Tuesday night at the same facility. There is no confirmation yet on whether her absence was related to the incident or purely coincidental.

History of Security Concerns

This isn’t the first time the WWE Performance Center has dealt with serious security issues. In the past, other WWE talents — including Morgan herself — have had to deal with stalkers or trespassers, prompting WWE to enhance its security measures around the facility.

With WWE’s ongoing presence in Orlando and a heavy roster of talent training at the Performance Center regularly, incidents like this serve as a reminder of the very real dangers wrestlers face outside the ring.

We’ll continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available. Our thoughts are with Liv Morgan, and we hope for her continued safety and well-being during this disturbing situation.

Rhea Ripley Returns On WWE Raw, Confronts Dominik Mysterio While Liv Morgan Flees

Former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley returned to “WWE Raw” on Monday following Dominik Mysterio and champion Liv Morgan’s mixed tag team victory over the LWO’s Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega. Ripley had been out of action due to injury at the hands of Morgan, and was forced to vacate her championship. Prior to Ripley’s departure, Morgan declared her “Revenge Tour,” and after she won the championship from Becky Lynch at Crown Jewel, she set her sights on Ripley’s boyfriend, Dominik. Earlier in the night, Judgment Day’s Damian Priest was seen backstage taking a phone call, and asked whoever was on the line (presumably Ripley) where they were, foreshadowing her return to TV.

Dominik was initially reluctant to team with Morgan, who once again got him into compromising positions through the show, but they managed to pick up the win after Morgan threw a chair in the ring to distract the referee, then helped Dominik knock Rey from the top rope, allowing Dominik to hit the frog splash and get the pin, his first victory over his father. Dominik impulsively hugged Morgan in the ring before pushing the women’s champion away, but Morgan jumped into his arms, knocking them both down with Dominik on top. At long last, Dominik seemed about to give in to Morgan’s seduction efforts — which was when Ripley’s music hit, causing both Dominik and Morgan to go wide-eyed with terror.

Ripley stormed down the ramp while Morgan scurried off through the crowd, leaving Dominik in the ring to face “Mami.” The USA Network feed cut off before the segment could be resolved, but footage from after the cameras went dark show Ripley speaking angrily to Dominik before storming right back out of the ring and up the ramp, while a hapless Dominik attempts to follow her and explain himself. Interestingly, a video posted to WWE’s social media afterward shows Morgan watching the confrontation from behind the curtain before turning away with a smile on her face.

Injured WWE Star Liv Morgan Arrested For Drug Possession

Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan was arrested in Florida for drug possession after a traffic stop. According to PWInsider, the 29-year-old was arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of drugs, possibly that of a synthetic cannabinoid, on Thursday evening. The injured star was arrested after a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy saw the Jeep she was driving cross over the white and yellow lines of the road. 

When the deputy approached Morgan’s vehicle, they smelled marijuana, according to the arrest report. According to PWInsider, a small plastic bag of marijuana and a vape pen that “held an oil-like substance” that later tested for marijuana were found in the vehicle. Morgan bonded out of jail and was released Thursday night around 10:00 p.m. WWE has yet to either comment to the outlet or release a statement.

According to a report from Fightful Select, there is no heat on Morgan within WWE following her arrest. It is worth mentioning that although marijuana is included in the Wellness Policy, WWE has not conducted tests for it in recent years.

A WWE staff member said, “Liv has not been on TV, did not alter creative plans, and was honest about the situation. There are no issues with her whatsoever.”

A top wrestler said, “Everybody liked Liv before, everybody still likes Liv. We’ll get our jokes off, and she’ll get hers off, and nobody will be thinking about it soon enough.”

Morgan has been out of action since suffering an injury on a July episode of “WWE Raw” that saw WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley attack her before their advertised match, an angle to write her off television. Morgan had just returned to the ring from a previous shoulder injury before suffering another, reportedly to her opposite side. The initial injury led Morgan and tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez to vacate the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

WWE Women’s Tag Titles Vacated Due To Liv Morgan Injury

After Liv Morgan suffered an injury last week, she and Raquel Rodriguez were unable to defend their WWE Tag Team Titles against Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville the following Monday on “Raw.” Unfortunately, the injury to Morgan is now said to be serious enough that the titles have been vacated. The announcement was made during Friday night’s “SmackDown.”

New champions will be crowned on “Raw” on May 29. Damage CTRL’s Bayley and IYO SKY; Green and Deville; Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler; and Rodriguez with whomever her partner ends up being will face off in a Fatal Four-Way Match to determine the new titleholders. But why will Bayley be teaming up with SKY instead of her partner last week, Dakota Kai? As it turns out, Kai was injured during the same match as Morgan, according to “The Role Model.” For what it’s worth, SKY didn’t look too thrilled to be thrown into the mix.

Nevertheless, Green and Deville will get their shot at the gold at the end of the month after having their initial opportunity postponed this past week. As for Rousey and Baszler, they made their return to WWE programming on Monday, brutally attacking Rodriguez after her victory over Green. Despite the return, though, it’s been reported that Rousey will be taking time off from WWE. That time off will likely come sooner than later, potentially putting their quest for the tag titles in doubt.

Regardless, in some way, shape, or form, new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions will be crowned on May 29.

Ruby Riott Returns From Injury, Attacks Liv Morgan

After months away from the ring, Ruby Riott is back! Unfortunately for Liv Morgan, the Riott Squad reunion was short-lived.

Last night on WWE RAW after Liv defeated Lana in a singles match. Ruby made her way to the ring afterward and an excited Morgan welcomed her friend into the ring. Before they could embrace, however, Liv’s former tag partner beat her down in the ring.

Liv Morgan Knocked Out During RAW After Accidental Kicks To The Face (VIDEO)

liv morgan knocked out raw video brie bella

A scary moment occurred on Raw this week after Brie Bella knocked out Liv Morgan following two accidental kicks to the face.

It all went down during a 6-woman tag match pitting the Riott Squad against Natalya and the Bella Twins. As seen in the video below, Brie began laying in her husband’s famous Yes Kicks … but accidentally rocked Liv’s head with two brutal strikes.

Morgan tried getting back to her corner, but the 24-year-old fell to the ground a few times trying to do so and it was immediately evident something was wrong. Sara Logan eventually pulled her out of the ring and took her ringside to get checked out by the ringside doctor.

Liv surprisingly made her way back into the ring for another spot, but ducked out to the ringside area afterward to continue getting checked out as Michael Cole tried to explain her absence.

This comes just 12 days before the Riott Squad are set to face The Bella Twins again, this time with Ronda Rousey as their partner.  The match goes down at WWE Super Showdown broadcasting live from Australia on the WWE Network, next Saturday October 6th.

Brie tweeted after the incident saying, “Every match on  is an opportunity for us to entertain our fans. Our intentions as  Superstars is to win the match, never injure our opponents. Thinking about  tonight.”
