Netflix viewers sobbing as WWE match gets stopped due to 'freak' injury
A major WWE champion was forced out of action on Monday Night Raw after suffering a nasty and legitimate injury.
During last night's show, Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan was set to face Kairi Sane in singles action, but the match was scrapped just minutes in.
The 31-year-old superstar took an awkward landing after a few moments and screamed in pain as she held her arm, and referee Jessika Carr was soon forced to end the bout.
As reported by PWInsider, Liv – who has been heavily involved in storylines including her partnership with 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio – suffered a dislocated shoulder and she was immediately assessed by WWE's medical team after being taken backstage.
The outlet noted that the company was still waiting to determine the severity of the wrestler's injury, which in turn will impact how long she will be on the sidelines.

It was noted that if the dislocation is severe, Liv could miss at least 16 weeks before being cleared, but it's not yet clear what the prognosis is.
'We are told it was being seen as a freak occurrence and there is no heat on anyone,' the outlet added.
Fans have been left devastated by the injury and its timing, which comes one week after Liv started a rivalry with Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
The pair appeared to be heading towards a match at WWE's all-women's premium live event Evolution next month, potentially as part of a tag match involving Raquel Rodriguez and Brie Bella.
However, there are concerns Liv won't be able to perform at the show on on July 13.

'Man i just started crying. i'm so upset for liv. i wish this wasn't real,' wrote@rhinocerosbug on X, as @craftsbymc added: 'Uhhh, so I'm sobbing… It looks like Liv actually just got injured, and now I'm scared she's not going to make it to SummerSlam [in August]…'
'This is not happening im so sick. Hoping it's nothing serious❤️,' said @Morgan43liv4dom. 'No no no no no no no I'm sick I feel sick no (sic)'
And @KyleWrestling pointed out: 'Sucks a lot that Liv was injured. She's someone who has grown a lot over the past few years.
'It looked like she was gearing up for a match with Nikki Bella, a match for Iyo's title, & a match against Iyo & Kairi for the tag belts. A major setback for the whole division.'
Liv has suffered setbacks before, and in June 2023 she opened up about the mental toll a six-week injury spell took on her at the time. More Trending
'We're on the road 365, there's no off season, there's no sport like WWE – it never stops,' she told Metro at the time.
'So, to go from that schedule to being at home for six weeks, at first it was rough on my mental [health]. I feel like, first of all, I couldn't do all that I know!

Pixar film risks breaking devastating record despite being hailed 'dazzling'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Pixar's latest offering Elio has wowed critics, but it looks set to make a devastating new record for the studio. The animated sci-fi film tells the story of 11-year-old boy Elio Solis (Yonas Kibreab) who dreams of being abducted by aliens after feeling out of place on Earth for so long. He is accidentally beamed up to the Communiverse, an organisation which has representatives from several galaxies, where he is mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador. It currently holds an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes among critics, but it could become the lowest domestic debut ever for Pixar. Box office reports from Variety show the film grossed $9 million (£6,6M) on Friday across 3,750 locations. It has been predicted that this could mean Elio will fall well behind 2023's Elemental, the film which currently has the lowest domestic debut, at $29M (£21.5M) The critics' consensus for the film could not be further away from its low box office, reading: 'Catapulted by its theme of building self-esteem, Pixar's latest cosmic wonder Elio boasts a fanciful world of original creations to dazzling effect.' 'Elio is another knockout, a quiet but determined shooting star that earns its place in the galaxy,' Tribune News Service wrote. Movie Mom added: 'Pixar's latest has everything we love about Pixar, a heartwarming story with endless imagination, charm, and wisdom, about an endearing character and the fears and joys of being human.' Others, however, pointed out the predictability of Elio's plot, with saying: 'Schmaltzy yet sincere, Elio, the latest from Pixar, is as predictable as they come but as tender as they can get.' Paste Magazine added: 'As a story about children finding a place to belong, discovering their true sense of self and realizing that parents and parental figures love you even when they don't always understand you, Elio is a lovely, if not particularly original story.' The Daily Beast summarised: 'For all its overt '80s homages, there's something timeless about Elio. too. It may be mid-tier Pixar, but that's still likely to make it one of the better animated offerings of the year.' More Trending Speaking ahead of the film's release, Kibreab opened up to Screen Rant about learning he had scored the role of Elio alongside Zoe Saldana who voices Elio's aunt Olga. 'I love all the Pixar movies and I watched them all the time and I still do today. And just to be in one, in an original Pixar movie, is such a pinch-me moment,' he said. They both reflected on what they had learned from each other while filming, with Emilia Perez star Saldana revealing, 'He's been teaching me how to be Alpha and Gen Z,' learning everything about 'rizz' and Skibidi Toilet.
