Update On Liv Morgan’s Injury
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez were set to defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on Raw against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green but injury put a stop to that.
Morgan and Rodriguez had defeated Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY and Dakota Kai on the 12th of May edition of SmackDown where the former SmackDown Women’s Champion apparently picked up the injury. Instead of the tag team title match then happening on Raw, Rodriguez was in singles action where she defeated Chelsea Green.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Morgan is not expected to be out of action for long:
“That’s legit. She was hurt in the Friday match….If you’re going to miss six months then yes, but if it’s just one match they don’t strip [of the title] for a minor injury. I don’t know what the injury is, and they didn’t say, but the way everything was played up, you know it’s not like if she was going to be out for a long time with this injury, she’d say she was out, and then they would take steps of stripping them of the belts.
You know, it felt like it was something where, you know she’s going to be back very soon. And they went and did an angle with Ronda and Bazler with Raquel to build up a title match so I think it’s a short-term thing for Liv. That’s certainly the impression based on their booking.”
It looks like the future plans for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are clear with Rodriguez being taken out by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler on Monday Night Raw.
