Liv Morgan emerged as the winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but the victory came with a physical toll. During a recent appearance on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast, Morgan displayed bruised knuckles and finger injuries she sustained while competing against 29 other women in the brutal contest.
Do you guys see my knuckles? All my fingers are like bruised… This is just my battle wounds from the Rumble. You know how—seeing 29 other women? That’s insane.

Recovery After a Grueling Match
Although Morgan’s hands bore visible damage, she emphasized that she has recovered and is feeling well now. The intense match subjected the competitors to numerous physical impacts, including strikes and chaotic action, leaving Morgan with multiple bruises across her body.
Yeah, I feel great now. I recovered. I feel fine now, but I was feeling it. You know, it’s a long, hard match. Lots of women, lots of, you know, flying legs and flying fists. It’s very chaotic. So I definitely have some bruises all over my body, but I’m feeling well today. I’m doing well.
