A major WWE champion was forced out of action on Monday Night Raw after suffering a nasty and legitimate injury.

During last night’s show, Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan was set to face Kairi Sane in singles action, but the match was scrapped just minutes in.

The 31-year-old superstar took an awkward landing after a few moments and screamed in pain as she held her arm, and referee Jessika Carr was soon forced to end the bout.

As reported by PWInsider, Liv – who has been heavily involved in storylines including her partnership with ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio – suffered a dislocated shoulder and she was immediately assessed by WWE’s medical team after being taken backstage.

The outlet noted that the company was still waiting to determine the severity of the wrestler’s injury, which in turn will impact how long she will be on the sidelines.

It was noted that if the dislocation is severe, Liv could miss at least 16 weeks before being cleared, but it’s not yet clear what the prognosis is.

‘We are told it was being seen as a freak occurrence and there is no heat on anyone,’ the outlet added.

Fans have been left devastated by the injury and its timing, which comes one week after Liv started a rivalry with Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.

The pair appeared to be heading towards a match at WWE’s all-women’s premium live event Evolution next month, potentially as part of a tag match involving Raquel Rodriguez and Brie Bella.

However, there are concerns Liv won’t be able to perform at the show on on July 13.

Liv has suffered setbacks before, and in June 2023 she opened up about the mental toll a six-week injury spell took on her at the time.

‘We’re on the road 365, there’s no off season, there’s no sport like WWE – it never stops,’ she told Metro at the time.

‘So, to go from that schedule to being at home for six weeks, at first it was rough on my mental [health]. I feel like, first of all, I couldn’t do all that I know!

‘Wrestling and WWE, to this point in my life, it’s all I knew how to do since I was 20 years old.’
