Liv Morgan, a prominent WWE RAW star, is preparing to make her WWE RAW Liv Morgan return following a shoulder injury sustained during a match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of RAW. Her absence has been noticeable, as the former Women’s World Champion has not appeared on WWE television since the injury. Morgan’s recovery and eventual comeback are gaining attention amidst ongoing storylines.
The recent SummerSlam 2025 event saw major moments including Brock Lesnar’s return and title changes such as Cody Rhodes reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship and Seth Rollins winning the World Heavyweight Championship, setting the stage for new developments including Liv Morgan’s return. The injury forced Morgan out of action for months, leading to Roxanne Perez stepping in as Raquel Rodriguez’s tag team partner before they lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam.
Injury Status and Possible Timeline for Liv Morgan’s Comeback
Finn Balor, a fellow member of The Judgment Day faction, provided an update about Morgan’s injury status during a RAW interview. He confirmed she is undergoing rehabilitation and growing stronger, estimating her return in approximately six to eight months. This contrasts with earlier expectations that suggested a three-month recovery period, raising questions about the exact timeline.
Before Liv’s injury, WWE reportedly planned a storyline involving her and Dominik Mysterio facing off against Roxanne Perez and Finn Balor in a tag team match, hinting at a possible double turn that could change character alliances. Roxanne’s current position as a rising star alongside Raquel Rodriguez indicates shifts within the storyline evolving without Morgan’s presence, but her eventual comeback could realign the group’s status and narrative direction.
Nikki Bella’s Views on Liv Morgan’s Future Role
Nikki Bella was intended to feud with Liv Morgan prior to the injury, with both exchanging heated segments on RAW ahead of the July 13 Evolution premium live event. The WWE Hall of Famer expressed enthusiasm about the storyline’s potential and suggested that Liv Morgan could return as a heroic figure, also known as a babyface, adding complexity and depth to their interactions.
I would love that story to play out. I want to do things that when she comes back, gives so many layers of heated, like, even if she comes back as a massive babyface. But I want to do things in the meantime that elevate a story even more than we can imagine.
—Nikki Bella, WWE Hall of Famer
Morgan’s growing celebrity outside the ring, including a role in the movie Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo with Lily James, contributes to the excitement surrounding her return. Fans expect a strong reception when she reemerges, with speculation swirling about her transforming into a babyface role, which would be a significant development in WWE RAW storylines.
Potential Impact on Dominik Mysterio and WWE Storylines
Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan’s on-screen partner, may experience a character evolution once she is back. Despite portraying a villainous Intercontinental Champion, Mysterio has gained popularity among fans since WrestleMania 41. Morgan’s return could influence his trajectory, potentially leading to fresh storylines and character dynamics.
The evolving narrative around The Judgment Day faction shows how Morgan’s injury and return have broad implications on WWE‘s creative direction, especially as fans eagerly await what new developments her comeback will bring to Monday Night RAW.
