Liv Morgan injury update: WWE Women's Tag Team Champion suffers shoulder injury
A WWE champion appears to have suffered a serious injury. Liv Morgan — one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions — suffered a legitimate injury during Monday Night Raw on June 16, and she could possibly be sidelined in the future. Advertisement Morgan faced Kairi Sane in a singles match at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Early in the contest, Morgan approached Sane when dropped to her knees for a single-leg takedown. Morgan went face first on the mat as did her right shoulder. Morgan immediately yelled in pain and rolled out of the ring as the referee blocked Sane from performing any other move. Morgan went down and held her shoulder as medical personnel came to check on her. The match was eventually called off as Morgan was escorted out of the arena. Sane was declared winner by forfeit. What injury did Liv Morgan suffer? WWE commentator Michael Cole said Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder. While it's unknown how it could affect a wrestler, it typically is an injury that can sideline athletes for months. Advertisement What determines the timeline of return depends on the severity of the injury and if surgery happens. Without surgery, the Mayo Clinic says, the shoulder would improve "over a few weeks," but if surgery is performed, full recovery can take five to six months. Regardless, it looks to be a tough break for one of the workhorses in the women's division. Morgan is currently a record four-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Raquel Rodriguez. 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. Recently, it had been hinted Morgan would have a storyline with current Women's World Champion Iyo Sky and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who returned to programming on June 9. The two-time Women's World Champion has suffered shoulder injuries before. In 2023, she missed six months of action after she dislocated her shoulder in a match with Rhea Ripley. It was revealed to be a labrum tear and she required surgery. Advertisement The biggest stories, every morning.

WWE Raw Results, Winners And Grades On June 16, 2025
WWE Raw advertised two King and Queen of the Ring Qualifiers as Asuka returned to defeat Ivy Nile, Stephanie Vaquer, Raquel Rodriguez. Raw also advertised Jey Uso vs. Sheamus, Bronson Reed and Rusev. Goldberg returned to Raw to confront Gunther, and in a scary moment, Liv Morgan appeared to suffer a serious shoulder injury early into her match against Kairi Sane. It was later revealed that Morgan dislocated her right shoulder. Liv Morgan, accompanied by Dominik Mysterio demanded Iyo Sky hand the WWE Women's World Championship over. Sky answered Morgan's challenge telling her to shut up. Dominik Mysterio interjected and was booed vociferously. Iyo Sky teased handing over the Women's World Title, only to dropkick both Morgan and Dominik. Asuka received a huge reaction for her return. Her opponents worked over her good leg throughout the match. A showdown between Stephanie Vaquer and Asuka, both of whom were very over in this match, somehow did not receive the heat it deserved. Stephanie Vaquer tried the Devil's Kiss, but it was broken up by Raquel Rodriguez. Huge heat. Vaquer then tried the Devil's Kiss on Rodriguez herself, but Rodriguez countered with an Electric Chair. Vaquer countered and finally connected with the Devil's Kiss on the apron. Rhea Ripley pulled Rodriguez out of the ring as she had the match won, similar to what happened to Rhea at the hands of Rodriguez during Rhea's QOTR match. Rodriguez took a Riptide and went on to take the losing pinfall to Asuka. Gunther, who was heavily booed, received a pyro celebration (equipped with a drone camera) during his entrance. Gunther made a reference to 'what's next," prompting fans to chant for Goldberg. Gunther said 'no, not that guy! I already cussed him out in front of his own family…" Gunther then brought up Seth Rollins, only to be interrupted by Goldberg. Goldberg congratulated Goldberg. He said he was proud of Gunther. Goldberg then said Gunther started something with Goldberg in Atlanta, and Goldberg was going to make sure he was going to end it in Atlanta. Goldberg challenged Gunther to SNME in Atlanta, July 12, because he's next. Backstage, the Judgment Day continued to crumble as Finn Balor beamed in the background like only he could. Despite being booed earlier, fans chanted for Dirty Dom in the early goings of Styles vs. McDonagh. Corey Graves called an Ushigoroshi by Styles, and Michael Cole—who typically works with the more casual Pat McAfee—said 'I haven't heard that in years.' Styles best McDonagh clean, and made it clear he was coming after Dominik Mysterio's IC Title. Bayley received a warm reception, but less warm than Asuka's. Bayley then paused for a singing chant, but didn't get it. 'We'll get there, eventually," said Bayley. Fans eventually chanted 'Let's go Bayley.' Bayley said Becky Lynch taking he rout of WrestleMania didn't hurt her, it healed her and made her stronger. To make sure she'd get booed, Becky Lynch walked out in Bears gear. Of note, Seth Rollins, Lynch's 'Hot husband,' is a diehard Bears fan like a lot of Chicago's worst. Fans in God's country of Green Bay chanted 'Bears still suck!' Lynch quipped back by saying 'They beat you last time.' There was an awkward moment where Becky Lynch leaned against the ropes, feigning fear of Bayley. Bayley seemed to get legit perturbed, telling Becky to 'Step up,' in the middle of an erratic promo. Lynch slapped Bayley, Bayley no-sold the move and delivered a stiff forearm to Becky Lynch. Backstage, Bayley received an Intercontinental Title shot next week. Lyra Valkyria was none-too-pleased. After just one takedown, Liv Morgan dislocated her shoulder. There was an awkward pause as the camera cut to a shot of Kairi Sane, and Morgan was not seen on camera for the rest of the match. After an emergency commercial break, WWE returned with the match being forfeited. Morgan used her arms to break a fall and suffered a freak injury. Hopefully it is not a long-term injury for one of WWE's top stars. Fans were really into Rusev, chanting 'Rusev Day!' Green Bay came alive during a showdown between Rusev and Sheamus, and there were dueling chants of 'Let's go Sheamus/Rusev Day!' Jey Uso went for a splash, but was stopped by Bron Breakker. Sami Zayn came to Jey's aid, but Breakker yeeted Zayn across the announce table. Penta hit the ring and hit a dive on Breakker. As Reed tried to capitalize, LA Knight hit the ring and got his lick back. This led to two Uso Splashes for the win. Seth Rollins hit the ring, followed by Cody Rhodes to the biggest pop of the night. Fans chanted 'Holy shit!' as they stared each other down. Seth Rollins backed down to a chorus of boos.
