A new report has provided a significant update on the status of WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan. She suffered a legitimate shoulder injury on the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw.
According to PWInsider, Morgan will reportedly require surgery to repair her dislocated shoulder. This news suggests she will be out of action for an extended period.
Details On Liv Morgan Injury
The injury occurred during Morgan's match against Kairi Sane. Just moments into the bout, Morgan landed awkwardly on her shoulder after a leg takedown.
The match was immediately stopped, and she was taken backstage for medical attention. It was announced on the broadcast that she had suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Major Storylines In Jeopardy
This injury comes at a very difficult time for Morgan and WWE. She had just kicked off a high-profile feud with the returning Nikki Bella the previous week.
It was widely expected this angle would lead to a marquee match at the upcoming Evolution 2 premium live event. That match, rumored to involve a reunited Bella Twins, is now off the table.

Championship Future And Injury History
As one-half of the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions with Raquel Rodriguez, the titles will likely need to be vacated. This is also not Morgan's first major shoulder injury, as she missed significant time for a similar issue in 2023.
A specific timeline for her return has not been announced. The length of her absence will depend on the outcome of the surgical procedure.
Summary of Liv Morgan's WWE Accomplishments
Liv Morgan's WWE career is a story of steady growth and perseverance, evolving from a member of a rebellious faction to a multi-time world champion.
Morgan began her career in NXT before debuting on the main roster in 2017 as part of The Riott Squad alongside Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan. The group was a fixture on both Raw and SmackDown, establishing Morgan as a key player in the women's division.
Her breakout moment as a singles star came in 2022 when she won the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. She cashed in her contract on the same night, defeating Ronda Rousey to win her first SmackDown Women's Championship (now known as the Women's World Championship), a title she would win for a second time in 2024.
