On Monday’s WWE Raw, the company did an angle where Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley was scheduled to wrestle Liv Morgan, but Ripley attacked Morgan before the bout started.
Ripley beat her down so that it was apparent she was being written off television as they did the “Pillmanized” (chair on arm spot) Morgan’s arm. As they went to break, Morgan could be heard saying she could not move her arm while selling the attack.
Last week, Morgan was spotted leaving Raw in a sling after she had been checked on following a barricade spot. This comes after Morgan recently returned to in-ring action from injury. Click here for complete WWE Raw results.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the situation.
Alvarez: “Liv Morgan does have a shoulder injury, and this was an angle to put her out of action for a while and maybe a long while. I guess that is to be determined.”
Meltzer: “It was pretty clear. I mean, they don’t do an angle like that. I mean, they did that. That was a real hardcore angle. And obviously, it’s, you know, she’s had the shoulder injury,”
Alvarez: “My understanding is it’s the other shoulder. Okay. So this is the left one’s the one that they hurt?” They injured the left one in the storyline, but whichever one she heard last time, she, I think she heard the other one this time.”
