This Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, streaming live on Netflix, will showcase the highly anticipated WWE Raw women’s match between Liv Morgan and Lyra Valkyria as part of a stacked card. Liv Morgan, having recovered from a serious shoulder injury, is set to compete in her first televised singles match since her setback, adding excitement to the one-year anniversary episode on the streaming platform.
Liv Morgan Faces Lyra Valkyria in Anticipated Return
Liv Morgan is set to return to the WWE Raw ring after being sidelined due to a severe shoulder injury sustained during her match with Kairi Sane on June 16. Her absence since that bout necessitated surgery and brought a halt to her competitive streak. Morgan’s last major appearance saw her unexpectedly return at last November’s Survivor Series, where she played a crucial role by interfering and impacting the result of John Cena’s Intercontinental title defense in his rematch against Dominik Mysterio. Stepping back into action, she now faces Lyra Valkyria, who is eager to capture her first singles victory on Raw since September.
WWE Raw’s Lineup Highlights the Anniversary and Special Features
The anniversary episode will not only celebrate WWE Raw’s first year on Netflix but will also include thematic elements tied to the conclusion of the “Stranger Things” series. The broadcast promises multiple high-profile matches, with WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk putting his title on the line against Bron Breakker. Maxxine Dupri, the reigning WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, is scheduled to defend her championship against Becky Lynch.
Additionally, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors—comprising Asuka and Kairi Sane—will take on the formidable duo of Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. The bout between Liv Morgan and Lyra Valkyria, however, stands out as one of the evening’s main attractions, given the anticipation surrounding Morgan’s return and Valkyria’s quest for redemption.
Implications for WWE’s Female Superstars and Fans
Morgan’s involvement injects fresh intrigue into the WWE Raw women’s match scene, and her recovery from injury is likely to inspire both fellow competitors and fans. The return match, set against the backdrop of a special anniversary episode, is poised to boost both audience engagement and the ongoing rivalries within the women’s division. As the WWE continues to showcase its female superstars, attention remains high on Monday’s outcomes and what they may mean for future title opportunities and storylines.
