Liv Morgan is reportedly on the verge of returning to WWE television, with multiple sources including Fightful Select and PWInsider indicating her comeback could occur as early as the May 26 episode of WWE RAW. This follows her recent return to the United States after completing filming for her role in the movie Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo in Japan.
Morgan’s time away from WWE was dedicated to her role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, directed by Takashi Miike, which concluded filming last week. Sources from the movie set have praised her acting, describing her as a “natural” and stating she “crushed” her scenes in what is considered her most significant film role to date.
Upon her return, WWE sources confirm Liv Morgan is expected to be immediately factored into creative plans. Further fueling this anticipation, WWE’s official website has recently featured her in advertisements for WWE RAW broadcasts.
Her re-entry into WWE storylines could ignite new dynamics within The Judgment Day, particularly as Finn Balor has been attempting to recruit Roxanne Perez to the faction during Morgan’s absence. This situation may lead to a feud between Morgan and Perez, who recently moved to the main roster and has been involved with The Judgment Day narrative, or address other internal issues within the group related to Balor’s actions.
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, which Liv Morgan holds with Raquel Rodriguez, are also anticipated to be brought back into active contention. The champions last defended their titles on the April 22 edition of NXT prior to Morgan’s hiatus for filming, and the belts have not been defended since.
Reports also suggest that Morgan’s return is strategically timed for the ongoing build towards the Money in the Bank premium live event. It is possible she will be involved in qualifying matches or other storylines connected to the event as WWE programming, including the May 26 WWE RAW which follows Saturday Night’s Main Event, moves closer to Money in the Bank.
