Could Liv Morgan's injury lead to absent WWE star's return?

Liv Morgan will miss considerable amount of TV time due to an injury she suffered on WWE SmackDown last week. Her hiatus also forced Raquel Rodriguez to relinquish the Women’s Tag Team Championship. With that being said, the powerhouse could find herself a new tag team partner very soon.

Liv Morgan’s injury could pave the way for Charlotte Flair’s televised return. The Queen was last seen at WWE WrestleMania 39. Charlotte could replace Morgan as Raquel's tag team partner. The two women could even have a long-term feud with Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.

For those unaware, Liv Morgan got injured while defending the women’s tag team titles alongside Raquel Rodriguez on the May 12, 2023, episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The duo squared off against Damage CTRL’s Bayley and Dakota Kai that night.

Morgan was also not around for her scheduled tag team match against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green this past Monday on RAW. Instead, Adam Pearce put Raquel Rodriguez in singles competition against Green. Post-match, Ronda Rousey made a surprise return to take out the powerhouse. The Baddest Woman on the Planet was joined by Shayna Baszler.

WWE to crown new women’s tag team champions after Liv Morgan’s injury

Michael Cole announced during SmackDown this week that Morgan will be out of action for a considerable amount of time. The veteran commentator further stated that the company will determine new Women’s Tag Team Champions in two weeks’ time on RAW.

The new champions will be crowned in a fatal four-way match involving Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green, Bayley and IYO SKY, and Raquel Rodriguez and a partner of her choosing.

If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
