Liv Morgan, recently sidelined by a significant injury obtained during a match against Kairi Sane, is at the center of the conversation after being praised by CM Punk as the “MVP” of WWE in 2025. This acknowledgment comes as the company faces uncertainty about Women’s Tag Team Championship matches and Morgan’s wrestling future due to her possible need for surgery.
CM Punk Names Liv Morgan as Standout Performer of 2025
At the Fanatics Fest event this past weekend, CM Punk was among the WWE Superstars in attendance. During a panel discussion, he took a moment to commend Liv Morgan’s development and impact, especially with her recent injury on Raw still fresh in the minds of the WWE community.
Punk specifically stated,
“Shoutout to Liv Morgan who recently got injured, she was like my MVP for the year… the way she’s developed this last year and just broken out of her shell… it kinda warms my heart. I missed her the first part of the journey, but to be here, see her grow into who she’s become.”

Liv Morgan’s Career Momentum Traces Back Before 2025
According to several in the wrestling world, Liv Morgan’s streak of success hasn’t just arisen this year. Her career experienced a hurdle in late 2023, when she was briefly arrested for marijuana possession. Despite this setback, Morgan returned with renewed determination, quickly climbing the ranks and capturing the Women’s Tag Team Championship, solidifying her as a major contender within WWE.
Punk himself acknowledged the challenges and unpredictability of sustaining a career in professional wrestling, noting that injuries are an unfortunate aspect of the profession. His comments resonated throughout the WWE community as fans and insiders alike reflect on Morgan’s progress and current predicament.
Uncertainty Surrounds Women’s Tag Titles and Upcoming WWE Events
Morgan’s injury presents further complications beyond her personal journey. There were strong indications that she was set to compete against Nikki Bella, or possibly in a tag match against both Nikki and Brie Bella, with rumors of Brie’s return to help her sister circulating after their recent interactions. If these plans were to occur at the next WWE Premium Live Event, Evolution, Morgan’s absence now puts those matches in jeopardy, with no confirmation on the final card.
Speculation also pointed towards a potential Tag Team Title bout, possibly featuring The Bellas versus Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. With Morgan out of action, any such contest is currently off the table. WWE had previously refrained from vacating the titles when Morgan was away working on a film, and now her latest injury could force the organization into a difficult decision regarding the championship’s future and the fate of the tag team division.
The situation underscores how one superstar’s setback can echo across WWE’s women’s division, impacting event planning, championship outcomes, and the ongoing development of talent like Liv Morgan. As fans await updates on her condition and the company’s response, CM Punk’s recognition reinforces Morgan’s rapid rise and hints at widespread respect for her work in 2025.
