Liv Morgan’s 2025 has been full of highs and lows. After becoming a four-time Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Judgment Day stablemate Raquel Rodriguez, Morgan looked poised for a major summer push.
But things took an unfortunate turn following a match on the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw. During a one-on-one bout against Kairi Sane, Morgan was injured following a single-leg takedown from the Japanese star that caused Morgan to crash shoulder-first into the mat. The match was stopped mid-way as she rolled out of the ring, clearly in pain, and leaned against the ringside barrier while clutching her shoulder.
Michael Cole later confirmed the seriousness of the injury, saying that she had suffered a dislocated shoulder, which would rule her out of action for several months.

Just days after the incident, Morgan made her first public appearance while undergoing rehab at Champion Sports Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama. She was seen wearing a brace, and renowned therapist Kevin Wilk shared an update on her condition through Instagram:“Awesome honor and pleasure to be helping WWE Superstar Liv Morgan with her shoulder rehabilitation. … Fantastic athlete, dedicated, and great to work with! This WWE Superstar will be back and back even better! Outstanding athlete!”
Morgan reportedly had surgery performed by Dr.
Jeff Dugas at Andrews Sports Medicine, a top destination for athletes recovering from serious injuries. Moreover, during the June 30 episode of RAW, Raquel Rodriguez gave fans a positive update on her tag team partner and said that Morgan was already in rehab two to three times a week and would be back soon. On top of that, Rodriguez also voiced her frustration with the company’s decision to strip Morgan of the title and move forward by naming Roxanne Perez as her replacement, setting up a defense at WWE Evolution 2 on July 13.

Unfortunately, this isn’t Morgan’s first shoulder setback. In 2023, she missed close to six months after tearing her labrum during a match with Rhea Ripley. Prior to her latest injury, Morgan was expected to enter the world title picture against Iyo Sky and possibly ignite a feud with a returning Nikki Bella. Plans for Bella to cut a promo on RAW to set things up were reportedly scrapped following Morgan’s unexpected absence.Also read: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/wwe/top-stories/liv-morgans-injury-on-wwe-raw-wasnt-just-bad-luck-heres-where-it-all-went-wrong/articleshow/121967279.cms
