Liv Morgan WWE Evolution 2 update: Liv Morgan will be absent from the upcoming Women’s Tag Team Championship bout at Evolution 2 after suffering a shoulder injury, prompting WWE to reportedly select Roxanne Perez as her stand-in for the July 13 event in Atlanta. The decision follows Morgan’s recent setback on WWE RAW and alters significant plans originally set for her at the Premium Live Event.
On June 16 during a singles match against Kairi Sane on WWE RAW, Liv Morgan experienced a separated shoulder. She and Raquel Rodriguez have been reigning as one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions. With Morgan sidelined, Rodriguez will now defend the titles alongside Roxanne Perez at Evolution 2. This replacement was reported by Cory Hays of BodySlam, who stated that Perez would be the new partner for the championship clash scheduled to take place in Atlanta, Georgia.
Raquel Rodriguez Gains a New Partner for the Title Defense
The unexpected injury to Liv Morgan disrupted WWE’s established storyline direction for the tag team championship. As a result, Raquel Rodriguez, Morgan’s partner in their four-time championship reign, must now adapt to a new dynamic by teaming up with Roxanne Perez for the anticipated marquee match. This change occurs during a pivotal time as the Women’s Tag Team Championships face another wave of unpredictability due to ongoing injuries and unexpected shifts.
Morgan’s Recent Rivalries and Rumored Returns Stir Speculation
Earlier this month, Liv Morgan became involved in a heated confrontation with Nikki Bella on WWE RAW, attacking the Hall of Famer in a dramatic moment that caught the attention of fans and industry insiders. Beyond the altercation, speculation has surfaced around potential negotiations between WWE and Brie Bella, suggesting talks are underway about a possible return for the other Bella twin, which could further reshape the women’s division dynamics.
Alternative Roles Proposed for Liv Morgan During Recovery
With Morgan facing time away from in-ring competition, former WWE writer and wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently suggested a different trajectory for her to remain present on WWE television throughout her recovery. Appearing on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s “Writing with Russo,” Russo advocated that Morgan could take on the role of Commissioner for the women’s division, allowing her to participate in ongoing storylines despite her medical status.
“Bro, I swear, if I was her, I would bring her back and work it out in such a way where she’s either got something over Pearce’s head, or Aldis’ head, and now all of a sudden she’s like Commissioner of the women’s division or something like that. She needs to have a role on TV, bro. They cannot sit her home for four months.”

As Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have achieved four championship reigns together, the news of Morgan’s injury and the recruitment of Roxanne Perez has left many questioning what lies ahead for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. The coming weeks will reveal how WWE manages this evolving situation and whether Morgan’s presence will persist on television through a new non-wrestling role, as suggested, or if she will step back entirely until her recovery is complete.
The developments around Liv Morgan’s injury, the new partnership for Evolution 2, and possible shifts within the women’s division underscore ongoing uncertainty for both the champions and WWE’s broader plans. Attention now turns to Evolution 2 in Atlanta, where Roxanne Perez’s performance as Raquel Rodriguez’s partner could have lasting implications for the championship landscape and future storylines involving key talent such as Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Liv Morgan herself.
