Liv Morgan injury update: WWE star will 'miss several months' after shoulder injury
WWE star Liv Morgan will 'miss several months of action' after she suffered a shoulder injury.
The announcement was made by commentator Corey Graves during Monday Night Raw on June 23.
It was expected Morgan would miss significant time as a result of her injury, but the severity of it was unknown. Morgan is also one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez.

The plans on the titles haven't been announced, as Rodriguez could either continue the reign alongside someone else or the titles could be vacated. There is a chance Rodriguez and Morgan could hold onto the championships until Morgan returns.

What happened to Liv Morgan?
Morgan suffered the injury in a match with Kairi Sane during Monday Night Raw on June 16. In the early stages of the contest, Sane dropped to her knees to perform a single-leg takedown. Morgan went face first on the mat and her right shoulder also hit the ground. Morgan immediately yelled in pain and rolled out of the ring as the referee prevented Sane from performing any other move.

Medical personnel came to check on Morgan outside of the ring, and the match was eventually called off as Morgan was escorted out of the arena. Sane was declared winner by forfeit.
Liv Morgan return: When could she come back?
While the severity of Morgan's injury is unknown, Morgan won't be appearing in WWE in the foreseeable future. Morgan was scheduled to attend Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20-22, but was pulled from the event after her injury.
A shoulder dislocation can sideline athletes for months. The timeline of return depends on the severity of the injury and whether surgery is necessary. The Mayo Clinic says the shoulder would improve "over a few weeks" if surgery is not needed, but if surgery is performed, full recovery can take five to six months.

Shoulder injuries have been an issue for the two-time Women's World Champion. In 2023, Morgan missed six months of action after she dislocated her shoulder in a match with Rhea Ripley, which turned out to be a labrum tear and she required surgery.
Should Morgan miss around five months, she would return around the same time as Survivor Series on Nov. 29, or could possibly wait to return at Royal Rumble in January 2026, similar to how she did in 2024.
Morgan was in her fourth reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez, a record for the title. The duo won the titles at Raw After WrestleMania on April 21 and they lost them to Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch one day earlier at WrestleMania 41.

Nationals' cornerstones come up big in series-opening win against Padres
SAN DIEGO — In the eighth inning Monday night, with the game still in reach, the San Diego Padres tried to plan around two players they probably regret letting go. After a minute at the iPad, two linchpins of the 2022 trade that sent Juan Soto to the Padres — CJ Abrams and James Wood — left the side of Washington Nationals hitting coaches Darnell Coles and Chris Johnson. The pair whispered in the on-deck circle as Padres lefty Yuki Matsui entered. And then, of course, a fairly familiar sequence followed. For the umpteenth time this year, it didn't work. Abrams ripped a high fastball into right field. With San Diego teetering, Wood went deep for the 22nd time this season, clanging a prayer high off the foul pole in right field for a three-run blast.

Justin Bieber Sparks Concern For His Marriage After Sharing Post About Getting The 'Silent Treatment'
Justin Bieber continues to fuel rumors about his alleged marital issues with his wife, Hailey Bieber. This time, the pop star took to social media to share a cryptic post about getting the "silent treatment," barely a week after Hailey ditched her wedding ring during several New York outings. Justin Bieber has opened up about his emotional struggles in a heated conversation with a friend, explaining that he has "anger issues" and is "traumatized." Justin seems to be unhappy with a person, as he took to his Instagram stories on Sunday to repost a cryptic video about getting the "silent treatment." The move comes amid rumors that his marriage to Hailey has hit the rocks. However, the couple has attempted to dissuade naysayers by sharing several loved-up photos of themselves together. In the video clip the "Peaches" singer shared, a content creator can be heard complaining, "B-tch, if you're giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why." "I have anxiety, and I have overthinking. Left and right, they go hand-in-hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error," they added, per Page Six. While it's unclear who the video clip is directed at, it follows a string of cryptic posts shared on his social media page that have left fans worried about Justin's well-being. The timing of Justin's post is particularly noteworthy as it comes a few days after Hailey stepped out in New York City without her big diamond wedding ring. As reported by The Blast, the Rhode Beauty founder first made a stop at The Commerce Inn in the West Village for breakfast, wearing a khaki trench coat and sunglasses. Upon highlighting from her black SUV, she put her left arm up, seemingly showing that she didn't have the ring on. Elsewhere, she joined fellow models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse for a girls' night out at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side without her ring. For the outing, Hailey wore a black leather coat and matching high-neck top with wide-leg jeans, before completing the look with heels. The 28-year-old model was also ring-free on Friday when she was pictured wearing a tight-fitting black sleeveless T-shirt and white-and-black polka dot leggings in New York City. However, she was spotted rocking the $500,000 piece again on Saturday. More telling of their alleged marital troubles seems to be the extent to which Hailey went to ensure her message was passed, as she overly flaunted her ringless finger. Body language and behavioral expert Darren Stanton dissected the subliminal cues she sent while out and about in the Big Apple last week. "Hailey is making a very exerted effort to show the paparazzi that she's no longer wearing the ring," Stanton said, adding that it is very unusual for her to put her hand "in view very predominantly." "The gesture she makes seems odd," he explained, per The U.S. Sun. "Like when she's wearing the black jacket and a hand comes right across the chest." The expert went further to note that Hailey's timeout with models, Morrone and Waterhouse, means "she's clearly not distressed," but that she is frustrated with her husband. "With Hailey, we see elements of anger and frustration because the eyebrows are put together, the eyes are narrowed, and the lips are pierced," he explained. "Therefore, I would assert she's angry and frustrated, potentially with Justin's behavior, as I know she has allegedly said she's not happy with Justin's behavior," Staton added. For Justin, body language expert Staton said the singer appears to be putting on a "masking smile" and a "brave face" in an effort to conceal his sadness. "Trying to conceal sadness with a smile is very common some people use a fake smile to cover frustration, anxiety, and a lack of confidence in certain social settings," he said. He added that Justin's smile lacks the elements of a "genuine smile," which are "lines at the side of the eyes called crows feet or left lines [ also known as laughter lines]." "No matter how old someone is, if the whole face is not engaged and we don't see the three lines at the side of the eyes, then it is most probably a fake smile to conceal an inner emotion, and I believe that Justin is feeling sadness," Staton explained. The depth to which the couple's 6-year union has been rocked remains unknown, but it appears there is trouble indeed. During Father's Day celebration this month, Hailey did not share a congratulatory message with the "Baby" singer, with whom she welcomed son Jack Blues in August 2024. In fact, reports suggest they had a "bitter" clash that day following a series of bizarre posts Justin shared to Instagram, including one where he referred to someone as a "lil ho." "The post really set her off — she told him it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done, like feeding raw meat to a pack of lions who want to eat you alive," a source told The U.S. Sun. Although Hailey has reportedly been advising Justin to seek professional help and understands that he has "anger and mood issues," she's seemingly unwilling to continue putting up with and making excuses for him. "Hailey didn't want him to post that message," an insider said. "She's fed up with his childish behavior and the constant negativity he brings onto himself. Share told him to stop being a 'f-cking child' and to finally start listening to the people who care about him."
