Next week will reportedly be a big one for Liv Morgan from a career perspective, and we could have more official updates on it on WWE Raw. The likely reveal of a big project will come after confirmation is already out about her hiatus from WWE programming. Plus, a big in-ring return in a WWE ring will also happen after a gap of more than five years.

On the April 28 episode of WWE Raw that rolled into the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, the upcoming absence of one-half of the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan was confirmed in a backstage segment. Nick Aldis filled in as the RAW General Manager this week since Adam Pearce had the week off due to medical reasons and he was urged by Morgan for a hiatus.

Per Morgan’s comments, she needed some time off to film a big Hollywood movie. She did not specify the name of the project, but the time-off was granted. According to PWInsider Elite, Morgan is set to have a “big week” next week, with sources confirming that a film project involving her will officially be unveiled on the next episode of WWE Raw.
