Liv Morgan has long been considered to be a universal babyface figure on the WWE Women’s Division but things have changed in the last two weeks. Since her comeback to TV at the Royal Rumble 2024, she had vowed to make Rhea Ripley pay for taking six months off her career in last year’s summer.
With that the ‘Liv Morgan Revenge Tour’ began and she stayed true to her promise in the most unthinkable manner that no one saw coming. Two nights after her successful Women’s World Championship defense against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40, Rhea Ripley was assaulted backstage by the former Smackdown Women’s Champion on Raw.
In an update from PWInsider, Liv Morgan sent Rhea right into the wall leading to her AC joint sprain injury. This resulted in damage to the AC joint connecting her collarbone and right shoulder. The sudden injury then forced Rhea to relinquish her Women’s World Championship and she is now expected to be out of action for multiple months to follow.
