Kairi Sane offers emotional statement as Liv Morgan suffers serious shoulder injury
Image via WWE WWE fans were left stunned during this week's episode of Monday Night RAW after Liv Morgan suffered a legitimate shoulder injury mid-match. The bout against Kairi Sane was building momentum when Morgan landed awkwardly during a takedown and immediately clutched her right shoulder in pain. Medical officials rushed in, and the match was stopped without a conclusive finish. It was later confirmed that Morgan had dislocated her shoulder and would need surgery, ruling her out of action for the foreseeable future. Kairi Sane responds with sincere apology Following the incident, Kairi Sane issued an emotional statement on social media, expressing her heartbreak over the situation. 'One of the most painful things for me is when a match is decided not by wrestling, but because of an injury,' she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'I always step into the ring with deep respect for my opponent, and I train hard every day to give the audience something they can truly enjoy.' She added, 'Even if it was never intentional, knowing that someone was hurt in a match with me is something I carry deeply. It breaks my heart. I hope with all my heart for a full and speedy recovery.' Creative plans disrupted behind the scenes The injury also caused a ripple effect backstage. WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who was scheduled to appear during the match, was pulled from the segment due to the uncertainty surrounding Morgan's condition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo According to Wrestling Observer, Bella was supposed to escalate her ongoing storyline with Morgan through a surprise run-in, but those plans were abruptly scrapped. This leaves WWE in a difficult position as the feud between the two stars was gaining momentum, especially ahead of the all-women Evolution 2 premium live event. Liv Morgan's injury also impacts the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship picture. She currently holds the titles alongside Raquel Rodriguez, and with surgery sidelining her for months, WWE is now considering next steps. Traditionally, the company either strips the team of the belts or finds a replacement partner for the uninjured champion. Fans have speculated that Roxanne Perez, a Judgement Day associate, could step into Morgan's place - but no official decision has been made yet. As Morgan begins her recovery, fans across the WWE Universe are rallying behind her with support. Meanwhile, Kairi Sane's heartfelt message has earned praise for its grace and sportsmanship during a difficult moment for both superstars.

'That [was] maybe not the first time I ever saw the girls do something like that,' she continued, 'but I was fully invested in that story between Becky and Charlotte, their friendship turned jealous kind of situation, turned actually feuding with each other. Then building up to that Last Woman Standing Match, I was just so heavily invested in it. To see the girls going out there and doing something like that that had that level of intensity, just laying it all out there, was very much like 'Oh, the girls can do this too. Okay I want to do this too.'' At WWE Evolution, Lynch emerged as the last woman standing, and in doing so, retained her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

"Bayley is done!" Coachman declared. "She's washed up! She's Boring! She's nothing! She's nothing anymore!" Coachman went on to question whether anything would feel different if Bayley left the roster, and that he was never a fan. Jonathan Coachman says Bayley is washed up 'She's boring. She's nothing anymore.' (Behind The Turnbuckle) — Vick (@Vick_8122) May 8, 2025 "When I was in the WWE for 13 years, there would be certain people – and she'd be one of them – that you'd walk around backstage going, 'How in the world is she winning the Royal Rumble?'
