Liv Morgan's Injury Update: Recovery Timeline and Impact on WWE Events
Liv Morgan's Injury and Its Implications for WWE
Liv Morgan's recent injury during an episode of Raw has posed significant challenges for WWE's creative team, especially with the Evolution premium live event approaching. Unfortunately, her recovery is expected to take longer than initially hoped, which is concerning as SummerSlam is also on the horizon, taking place in her home state of New Jersey.
In a recent Q&A session, WrestleVotes addressed inquiries regarding Morgan's injury and her potential return amidst a busy WWE schedule. The source indicated that backstage personnel seemed more composed this time compared to the chaos following Zoey Stark's injury a few weeks prior.
This calmness is viewed positively, suggesting that Morgan's recovery time might be shorter. WrestleVotes mentioned that insiders believe the women's tag team champion could be sidelined for approximately twelve weeks, which translates to about three months, as a dislocated shoulder requires ample healing time.
“Just talking to a few people, obviously didn’t talk to any doctors, so internet don’t run wild with it, it’s about three months she’s gonna be on the shelf with the injury. Yeah, three months. Just what I’ve been hearing this morning, Joe — I asked a couple of people and they said roughly around twelve weeks. Hopefully it’s less, but a dislocated shoulder takes time,” WrestleVotes shared insights on Morgan's situation.
Impact on Upcoming WWE Events
Given the circumstances, it seems likely that WWE may need to vacate the Women’s WWE Tag Team Championships ahead of the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event due to Morgan's injury. Her absence will undoubtedly affect the women's division, particularly on Monday Night Raw.
Previously, there were plans for a significant match featuring Nikki Bella's return against Liv Morgan at the Evolution premium live event scheduled for July 13. Additionally, Brie Bella was rumored to join Nikki in a bid for the women's tag team titles against Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. However, these plans have been drastically altered due to Morgan's injury.
