Liv Morgan’s anticipated WWE return is set to make a significant impact, as new Liv Morgan WWE return storyline plans have been revealed following her recovery from a shoulder injury that disrupted ongoing narratives on Monday Night RAW. Morgan, a former Women’s World Champion, is expected to step back into a central role with a renewed storyline that was in development even before her recent setback.
WWE’s Strategy Following Liv Morgan’s Absence
Liv Morgan, at 31, has established herself among the standout performers in WWE’s women’s division, and her injury led to adjustments in storylines that involved several key stars. While she has been sidelined, Roxanne Perez stepped in as Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Raquel Rodriguez, continuing the momentum for the tag team titles and keeping the storylines active during Morgan’s absence.
According to insights shared during the latest episode of WrestleVotes Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, WWE’s creative direction was always to feature a rivalry spotlighting Morgan and Roxanne Perez. This long-term planning ensured that the ongoing narrative could adapt smoothly, despite Morgan’s injury.
Planned Rivalry Between Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez
The path leading back to Liv Morgan’s return will see her reignite a simmering feud with Roxanne Perez, dubbed The Prodigy. The tension between these competitors was being teased prior to Morgan’s injury, and insiders state that the intent was always to feature heat and competition between these two stars as a core storyline element upon Morgan’s comeback.
“This is the story they were gonna tell with Liv, either injured or not, and unfortunately, she’s now injured, but it was gonna be this heat between her and Roxanne, and now Roxanne can step in her place, hold her title, and create an organic story in that regard. So, I’m happy for her and I think it works for Evolution, I think it works for The Judgment Day, so we’ll see where it goes, but I think they came out of it okay with this Liv Morgan injury,”

The duo will face a formidable challenge in a Fatal Four-way match, involving teams representing RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, as announced on the recent episode of RAW. The outcome of this match could influence the direction of the women’s division and set the scene for Morgan’s storyline reintegration.
Liv Morgan’s return promises a revitalized rivalry and fresh competition, keeping the WWE women’s division dynamic and unpredictable. Fans and industry observers will be watching closely as the next chapter unfolds, potentially shaping the landscape of upcoming WWE events and establishing new rivalries within the division.
