Liv Morgan officially marked her Liv Morgan WWE RAW return on January 5, 2026, stepping back into the ring on WWE RAW and securing a win over Lyra Valkyria at the show’s taping for Netflix. Morgan’s match was her first televised appearance since June 2025, following a significant injury that sidelined her for months.
Liv Morgan’s Road Back to WWE RAW
After being forced to take a break from active competition due to an injury sustained during her bout with Kairi Sane, Liv Morgan began making strides toward recovery. She initially returned to in-ring action during WWE’s Holiday Tour, wrestling Lyra Valkyria at a non-televised event in Tampa on December 27, 2025. Despite this preview for live audience members, her official televised comeback took place at Survivor Series: WarGames and continued on the first RAW episode of 2026.
A Decisive Win Over Lyra Valkyria
During the much-anticipated match, Morgan took advantage of a timely distraction to hit her Oblivion finisher on Lyra Valkyria, picking up a memorable victory. The result underscored her readiness to reestablish herself as a major presence within WWE’s women’s division, signaling that her time away from television has only fueled her ambition.
“Liv Morgan has returned from injury and is ready to raise hell again, which only means one thing: the Liv Morgan story about to get its newest chapter. Show that you’re ready to see who she has pegged for destruction by snagging this Movie T-Shirt. Grab this stylized tee before heading to the next RAW or premium live event and leave no doubt you’re eager to see her and her Judgment Day cohorts run roughshod on anyone who stands in opposition,”
according to the WWE Shop description.
New Merch and Possible Storyline Teasers
Coinciding with her in-ring return, WWE Shop released a special “Liv Morgan Revenge Tour 2” t-shirt, featuring a graphic styled after a Netflix movie poster. The shirt’s promotional text suggests that the ongoing saga between Liv Morgan and the Judgment Day faction, especially with Dominik Mysterio’s absence due to injury, could be headed for further dramatic developments.
