Plans for Liv Morgan WWE injury plans have surfaced following her recent sidelining from in-ring competition on Raw, after she suffered a significant dislocated shoulder. New information details the creative path that WWE had mapped out for Morgan before the injury, and reveals how her absence has triggered a reworking of major storylines heading into important events this summer.
Liv Morgan’s Injury Disrupts Major WWE Storylines
On the June 16th edition of Raw, Liv Morgan faced Kairi Sane. Unfortunately, early in their match, Morgan sustained a dislocated shoulder that forced her out of action and left upcoming rivalries in flux. After WWE provided a timeline for her recovery, further reporting clarified the extent of the original booking plans and how they have changed with her injury.
According to Cory Hays of BodySlam.net, Morgan was initially set to challenge Iyo Sky for a title at Night of Champions on June 28th, with the event scheduled for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This showdown was intended to resolve the cold feud building between Sky and Morgan in recent weeks, providing a pay-per-view conclusion to a storyline that had been quietly intensifying.
Altered Plans for SummerSlam and Judgment Day
With Morgan’s sudden absence, additional creative shifts became necessary. Hays reported that the original blueprint involved escalating tensions within the Judgment Day faction, which would culminate in a high-profile mixed tag match at SummerSlam 2025. In that match, Liv Morgan would have teamed with Dominik Mysterio to take on Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez, sparking new drama within WWE’s faction landscape.
Now, as Morgan recovers, WWE is reportedly turning to a notable former NXT Women’s Champion as her replacement within the Judgment Day storyline. This adjustment is expected to maintain momentum for the planned rivalry threads and keep key talents visible during Morgan’s absence.
Industry Reactions and Liv Morgan’s Future
The wrestling community has reacted with a mix of disappointment and resilience following news of Morgan’s injury and creative reshuffling. ITR Wrestling publicly expressed hopes for “a safe and steady recovery” for Morgan, reflecting the fan sentiment toward her setback.
CM Punk Praises Liv Morgan Despite Setback
During his recent appearance at Fanatics Fest, WWE veteran CM Punk openly praised Liv Morgan for her progress, calling her the MVP of 2025. His comments indicate the respect Morgan has earned among her peers and the high expectations for her return.
“Shoutout to Liv Morgan who recently got injured, she was like my MVP for the year. I look at people like Liv who probably started right after I left, 2014-ish, and just from the time I’ve been around her and been able to see her work, just the way she’s developed this last year and just broken out of her shell and turned into this little worker, it kinda warms my heart.”
—CM Punk, WWE wrestler
Morgan’s impact on both recent storylines and the locker room dynamic has become apparent, with recognition from high-profile figures such as CM Punk underscoring her contributions.
As the company adjusts to these unexpected changes, anticipation remains for updates on Liv Morgan’s status and for the evolving storylines involving Judgment Day and other superstars, including Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, Roxanne Perez, and Iyo Sky. WWE’s response to Morgan’s injury will be closely watched, especially with key matches on the horizon in Riyadh and at SummerSlam 2025.
