Liv Morgan, a former Women’s World Champion, sustained a shoulder injury earlier this week on WWE RAW. Reports indicate that the 31-year-old talent is expected to miss up to six months of in-ring competition.
Despite working as a heel for approximately the past year, Morgan has recently garnered a positive reception from the WWE fanbase due to her performances both in the ring and on the microphone.
In Morgan’s absence, her tag team partner, Raquel Rodriguez, is reportedly scheduled to enter a feud with Rhea Ripley, a notable rival of Morgan’s. Although Morgan and Rodriguez currently appear to be in alignment, there has been evident friction between the two competitors in recent weeks.

This dynamic could set the stage for Morgan’s return as a babyface, potentially involving a betrayal of Rodriguez to align with a former tag team partner. The existing tension between Morgan and Rodriguez, coupled with Finn Bálor’s attempts to recruit Roxanne Perez into The Judgment Day as a potential replacement for Morgan, could contribute to such a development.
Morgan and Ripley have previously teamed together in WWE, and despite their significant rivalry last year, Ripley appeared to extend a message of support to Morgan on social media following Morgan’s injury. This gesture suggests their past bond may retain some strength.
