Liv Morgan's Forehead Injury Lingers Months After Raw Collision

2026-08-29 · Liv Morgan · Player Focus

Liv Morgan is still dealing with the physical aftermath of a serious in-ring collision four months ago, even as she continues her reign as WWE Women's World Champion. Her Judgment Day teammate Raquel Rodriguez confirmed a small amount of swelling remains from the April incident, an injury that has lasted longer than expected.

A Champion's Persistent Injury

Morgan sustained the forehead injury on the April 6 edition of Monday Night Raw during a confrontation with stablemate Roxanne Perez. Rodriguez, who initially treated the visible bump lightly, provided a sobering update. "Uh, no. Not fully. Like she still has a little tiny bit, but they’ve been doing a lot of therapy and stuff, so it is, it’s coming down, thankfully," Rodriguez said. The injury's persistence complicates the division's direction, though Morgan has not missed scheduled action. She successfully defended her title against IYO SKY at SummerSlam in August.

Raquel Rodriguez Eyes a Second Title

While Morgan manages her recovery, her Judgment Day ally has championship ambitions of her own. Raquel Rodriguez, the Women's Intercontinental Champion, revealed she and Morgan have discussed her becoming Women's World Champion as well. "Liv and I have talked about it multiple times, even while she was out with the shoulder injury, about me being the Women’s World Champion," Rodriguez stated on Busted Open. She added, "God didn’t create these two big, beautiful shoulders to only hold one title." Rodriguez won her current title on the July 27 edition of Raw, defeating Sol Ruca.

The Terrifying Sound of a Collision

For Roxanne Perez, the memory of the April collision is visceral. Speaking about the incident months later, Perez said the sound of their heads connecting still haunts her. "Every time someone brings that up to me, that sound just replays in my head," she recalled. The moment served as a stark reminder of the very real risks in a scripted sport, even among teammates.

Morgan's Influence on the Next Generation

Morgan's in-ring work continues to inspire aspiring wrestlers. Sherilyn Guerrero, a trainee at Booker T's Reality of Wrestling School, named Morgan's finishing move as one she desperately wants to learn. "I love her Oblivion. It’s so good," Guerrero told MuscleManMalcolm. This admiration highlights Morgan's impact and the signature style she has developed as a top star in WWE.

Morgan's situation is a balancing act. She is pushing forward with title defenses and storylines while undergoing treatment for an injury that refuses to fully disappear. The presence of returning challengers like Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch adds pressure. No Triple Threat match has been announced, giving WWE creative room to build these rivalries carefully around the champion's condition.
