Liv Morgan Discusses Injury, WWE Return, and Career Highlights

Liv Morgan has returned to the WWE Performance Center to resume training following shoulder surgery, marking a significant step in her recovery process. While a specific date for her return to competition has not been officially confirmed, medical reports have indicated an expected return in early 2026.

The athlete was sidelined after suffering a shoulder injury on June 16 during an episode of WWE RAW on Netflix. This injury forced her out of action for several months, during which time she underwent surgery, and rehabilitation.

Details of the Shoulder Injury

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Morgan provided a detailed account of the moment she was injured. She described the incident as a weird fall and noted that she attempted to brace herself during the impact.

As soon as it happened, I knew, just because you can’t feel anything. But first of all, it’s like such an intense pain, then it just goes away, and then you can’t feel anything because your shoulder is just not connected.

Morgan recounted that after rolling out of the ring, she attempted to pop the shoulder back into place. WWE medical staff also attempted to reset the joint, but Morgan eventually realized she could not continue and had to throw in the towel.

Although she initially tried to remain optimistic about the recovery, an MRI later confirmed the severity of the dislocation. Morgan mentioned that she suspected the injury was serious because she had experienced a similar incident two years prior.

Recovery and Return Timeline

Following the injury on June 16, Morgan used social media to update fans on her status. She shared a video on Instagram showing her dislocated shoulder being put back in place, a post she used to celebrate her 11-year anniversary with WWE.

On November 6, Morgan appeared at the premiere of Stranger Things Season 5. During a conversation with Netflix’s Tudum, she addressed the anticipation surrounding her comeback to WWE Raw. When asked how long fans would have to wait for her return to the ring, she responded that everyone’s just going to have to watch me to see when it happens.

The most recent update regarding her status confirms that she has now returned to the WWE Performance Center. This represents her first time back in the training facility since the June 16 injury.

WrestleMania 2026 Outlook

As she works toward her full return, Morgan is preparing for her eighth appearance at WrestleMania. She described the milestone of reaching eight appearances as iconic and expressed confidence in her growth as a performer, stating that she is getting better matches every single year.

Morgan also discussed her mental approach to the upcoming event. She stated that she is focusing on staying present and taking her preparation day by day to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Despite the significance of the event, Morgan clarified that she is not currently experiencing anxiety. While she admitted that WrestleMania is heavy on my mind, she maintained that she does not feel pressure in the current moment.
