Liv Morgan Out Of Action For Up To 6 Months, Will Require Surgery

WWE

The legitimate shoulder injury suffered by WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan on this week’s Monday Night Raw will require surgery, and she is expected to be out of action for up to six months, according to new reports. The news confirms a worst-case scenario for the champion and has reportedly forced WWE to scrap significant creative plans for this summer.

The story was first reported by @CodyWhoadesPWN at Bodyslam.net, who noted that Morgan is expected to be sidelined for up to six months with the shoulder injury. A subsequent report from Fightful Select confirmed that Morgan will indeed require surgery to repair the damage. A six-month recovery timetable would mean a potential return to the ring for Morgan around December 2025 or January 2026.

Morgan sustained the injury during the opening moments of her match on the June 16 episode of Raw, which was stopped immediately. The injury has had major “ripple effects” on the company’s creative plans, particularly for the upcoming all-women’s “Evolution 2” premium live event next month.

Morgan has been a central character in Raw’s creative plans and was scheduled for a major tag team match at the Evolution 2 event. That match was expected to feature Morgan and her partner, Raquel Rodriguez, defending their Women’s Tag Team Championships against a reunited Bella Twins.

With Morgan now sidelined for a significant period, those plans have been completely changed. The future of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships is now in question, as WWE will have to address the status of the titles with one half of the championship team out of action for the foreseeable future.
