Coming out of this week’s WWE Raw, a piece of legit injury news was spread on the internet around top female superstar Liv Morgan. While initially many assumed having a kayfabe situation with the injury, that’s not the case. The former champion is indeed dealing with an injury that will keep her out of action for some time, at least.
Raw interviewer Byron Saxton was speaking with Liv Morgan, backstage when it was revealed that the latter’s tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez suffered a knee injury due to Rhea Ripley’s attack from the week before. It was then that the former Riott Squad member indicated to go after the Women’s World Champion.

New WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville interrupted the segment and criticized Byron for interviewing Liv Morgan and not interviewing them. They talked about how the show always remains about Rhea or Liv. Rhea then showed up and the Tag Team Champions praised Rhea before leaving.
Later that night, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley was scheduled to have a match with Liv Morgan but the match never took place as the champ attacked her opponent before their match could begin. Rhea sent her shoulder-first into the barricade before hurting that portion further by using a Steel Chair.

Liv Morgan ended up injuring her other shoulder on Raw
In an update to the injury situation, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Liv Morgan is legit dealing with a shoulder injury and that she will be out of action for a long time. The former Smackdown Women’s Champion already was dealing with a shoulder injury following Wrestlemania 39 but this time around, the speculation has it that she ended up injuring the other shoulder.
Meltzer emphasized the fact that Liv Morgan is expected to be out of action for a long time, because “they don’t do an angle like that unless it’s serious.” After all, she was crying for real during that segment which could have indicated the seriousness of the situation.
In turn, this injury angle will work as an inducer for the Women’s World Championship match at Summerslam. As reported earlier, Rhea Ripley is scheduled to put her title on the line against Raquel Rodriguez at the upcoming PLE.
