The plans for the WWE women’s title scene may have to be changed.
Star Liv Morgan suffered what Michael Cole described as a dislocated shoulder during Monday’s “Raw,” which forced her match against Kairi Sane to be cut short.
PWInsider described the injury as “100%” legitimate and not a wrestling angle.
Morgan, one-half of the women’s tag team champions, suffered the injury when she fell to the mat in the opening moments of the bout.
Her hands hit the mat while she fell face-first, and she immediately grimaced in pain.
The 31-year-old New Jersey native grabbed her right elbow and then rolled out of the ring.
Morgan hobbled for a few seconds before falling to her knees, clutching at that right shoulder.
She clearly seemed in pain while she shuffled along the floor on her knees.
The announcers eventually caught on that Morgan may have legitimately been hurt while Sane held her arms out in the ring, seemingly unsure what was happening.
“That an injury or something?” asked Corey Graves, who was filling in on color commentary for Pat McAfee.
“I think so,” Cole replied. “Liv may have injured her shoulder.”
Sane remained in the ring with her hands up and played to the crowd, while the referee also stayed put.
The broadcast then cut to a highlight of the move that caused the injury before Cole mentioned a doctor had come to the floor to check on Morgan.
The match did not continue, with Sane being declared the victor.
A potential serious injury would be a tough blow for WWE since Morgan is one of the pillars of the women’s division.
The company seemingly hinted at a feud between Morgan and the returning Nikki Bella on last week’s “Raw” with the all-women “Evolution” pay-per-view coming in July, and any absence would affect the tag team championship picture since she shares the belts with Raquel Rodriguez.
Morgan has not yet commented on the situation on social media.
