Liv Morgan, a prominent figure on the WWE RAW roster, sustained a dislocated shoulder during her singles match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of WWE RAW. The incident occurred in Bay Area, California, when Morgan landed awkwardly after attempting a single-leg takedown, leading to the match’s stoppage and a victory awarded to Kairi Sane by forfeit. WWE medical personnel attended to Morgan, who immediately displayed signs of pain.
The confirmed dislocated shoulder represents a significant setback, with recovery times varying based on the injury’s severity and whether surgical intervention becomes necessary. Should surgery be avoided, a recovery period of a few weeks is anticipated. However, if surgery is required, the recovery could extend to five or six months. Reports indicate a potential recovery timeline of up to 16 weeks, which would sideline Morgan for a considerable duration and likely impact her participation in upcoming WWE events.
Morgan’s injury disrupts current WWE creative plans. She was involved in a storyline where she attacked WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella on the June 9 episode of WWE RAW, a development she was expected to address on the June 16 broadcast. This injury places her ongoing narrative with Nikki Bella and potential future programs on an indefinite hold. As a member of The Judgment Day faction, her absence also affects the group’s storylines within both the women’s division and the tag team scene.
The injury has elicited concern and sympathy from fans and wrestling commentators. It is not the first shoulder injury for Morgan, who previously sustained a labrum tear in 2023 that necessitated surgery and an extended recovery period. The current injury is considered a freak accident, with no blame attributed to any individual.
