In 2023, a separated shoulder injury would put Liv Morgan on the shelf and cost her months of action before returning in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match. While an injury is typically the worst thing to happen to a WWE Superstar, this setback proved to be a blessing in disguise for the reigning Women’s World Champion.
Speaking to Us, Morgan addressed the injury she suffered, which resulted in her being written off TV with an attack by Rhea Ripley. This time away from the ring provided the 30-year-old Superstar with an opportunity to reassess her place in WWE, especially after years of feeling like she didn’t truly belong—feelings that had plagued her since her days in WWE NXT.
“It wasn’t until I came back from my injury this past year that I went from like, ‘I’m lucky to be here’ to ‘I’m that b***h. I don’t know what that switch was… It wasn’t until I had those months off where I only had to be myself.”
Morgan has certainly proven to be that b***h in 2024 after capturing the WWE Women’s World Champion at WWE King And Queen of the Ring from Becky Lynch. She solidified her reign by successfully defending the title against Lynch in a steel cage match on RAW—a match that marked The Man’s final WWE appearance.
What’s Next?
Morgan’s ‘revenge’ tour will take her to Berlin, Germany tomorrow night where she will compete at the inaugural WWE Bash in Berlin event. In the Uber Arena, Morgan will team with Judgment Day ally Dominik Mysterio to face Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley.
Post-Berlin, Morgan will continue to defend her WWE Women’s World Championship on TV and at Premium Live Events. With the full support of Judgment Day and her ever-improving in-ring skills, Morgan’s reign shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
