But when that appearance concerns Liv Morgan, it understandably gets the WWE Universe talking.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, Netflix held a world premiere for the popular series that attracted numerous stars from every corner of the entertainment industry. Among them was the former Women&#8217;s World Champion, Liv Morgan. The inaugural Crown Jewel Champion has been out of action since dislocating her shoulder on WWE Raw in June.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening exchanges of a match with Kairi Sane, Morgan landed awkwardly, bringing the bout to a premature close. After being helped backstage by medical personnel, it was revealed that Morgan had suffered a serious shoulder injury that would put her on the sidelines for a significant period.<\/p>\n<p>Liv Morgan&#8217;s injury threw the women&#8217;s division into chaos, ruining her Evolution and SummerSlam storylines. At the time, Morgan was in the early stages of feuds with both Nikki Bella and then-Women&#8217;s Champion IYO SKY. It was later reported that Morgan was set to fight Bella at Evolution.<\/p>\n<h2>When Can WWE Fans Expect Liv Morgan to Return to Action?<\/h2>\n<p>Initial reports suggested that the four-time tag team champion would be out for five to six months. This suggests that an early 2026 return is well on the cards for Morgan. Since injuring her shoulder, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/06\/30\/judgment-day-is-fine-without-liv-morgan\/\" target=\"_self\">the Judgment Day order has shifted considerably.<\/a> Raquel Rodriguez adopted\u00a0 Roxanne Perez as her new tag team partner, with Perez inheriting Morgan&#8217;s tag team championship as a result of her injury.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between &#8220;Dirty&#8221; Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor have worsened &#8211; especially in light of Mysterio&#8217;s double champ status and Balor and McDonaugh&#8217;s losing the tag team titles a fortnight ago. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how Morgan fits into the discord of the longstanding faction when she returns.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_143308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-143308\" style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-143308 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of WWE star Liv Morgan.\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-657x1024.jpg 657w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-768x1196.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-986x1536.jpg 986w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped-1315x2048.jpg 1315w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/Liv_Morgan_August_2024_cropped.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-143308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: By <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Liv_Morgan_August_2024_(cropped).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diego Serrano<\/a> &#8211; https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/202213156@N02\/54306985791\/, CC BY 2.0,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next major WWE PLEs on the calendar are the Royal Rumble in January and Elimination Chamber in February.
