A new development has emerged in the Liv Morgan stalker case update involving WWE star Liv Morgan. Shawn Chan, 41, was arrested after appearing near Morgan’s residence in June and later showing up at WWE’s Performance Center in Florida, raising concerns for her safety. Since then, Chan has been held in Hernando County, Florida, ahead of his November trial.
Chan recently filed a motion on August 20, requesting that the court reconsider his detention without bail and allow him to be released until the trial starts. His attorneys proposed he stay at a Salvation Army facility during this period. However, federal prosecutors opposed this motion, arguing he poses a serious threat to the community and a flight risk.
In their filing, prosecutors stressed the importance of keeping Chan detained until trial, citing the risk that he could attempt to approach Morgan’s home again if released.
“The Defendant, Shawn Chan, is a danger to the community, a serious risk of flight, and there are no conditions of release that will reasonably assure Chan’s appearance at further proceedings of this case. The United States requests that Chan remain detained pending trial,”

They further emphasized that
“The nature and circumstances of the crime charged weighs in favor of detention,”
underlining the severity of the threat Chan reportedly poses and the potential risk to public safety.
Liv Morgan’s Recovery Timeline and WWE Status
In a separate matter, Liv Morgan suffered a shoulder injury during a RAW episode in June, following a match against Kairi Sane. She underwent surgery and is currently in the recovery phase. No exact timeline for her return is confirmed, but WWE hopes she can resume in-ring activities by early 2026.
As a member of The Judgment Day faction and a former Women’s Tag Team Champion, Morgan’s absence is a significant loss to WWE’s RAW roster. Her rehabilitation reportedly progresses well, though fans may need to wait several months before seeing her perform again.
Implications of the Legal Proceedings on the Community and WWE
The ongoing legal battle surrounding Shawn Chan highlights the increased concern over Liv Morgan’s security and the broader community’s safety. Prosecutors’ insistence on detention without bail reflects the seriousness of the situation and the potential dangers if Chan is released. The trial scheduled for November will be crucial in determining Chan’s fate and ensuring protection for WWE talent and others involved.
Meanwhile, Morgan’s injury and recovery add uncertainty to her professional future, compounding the challenges she currently faces. The outcome of both the legal case and her rehabilitation will heavily influence her career trajectory and the WWE landscape going forward.
