WWE fans always seem to be ready to welcome any returning superstar. It’s pretty wholesome to see injured talents resume doing what they do best. But above everything, an underlying fear prevails regarding the risk of exposure to the chance of injury again.

Liv Morgan, 29, wrestled during WWE’s house show this past Saturday in Alabama. The massive crowd over there was in utter joy seeing her in action after the grave shoulder injury last month. The intensity of her injury had put a dent in the timeline of her return. But Morgan speeded it up and found her foot back in the business during 23rd June’s SmackDown episode.

But it seems like everything wasn’t smoothly gone for the former woman’s champion during her last match.

Liv Morgan showed signs of concern right after her WWE return

Wiping off the droplets of tears after an overwhelming crowd reception, Morgan, alongside Raquel Rodriguez, unsuccessfully challenged the current reigning WWE Woman’s tag team champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. However, despite the loss in the match, Morgan and Rodriguez still have their chance to attain the gold at the upcoming Money in The Bank in London. But the question that is currently troubling fans is whether Morgan could be okay health-wise. The question makes sense as the camera caught her undergoing trouble with the injured left shoulder.

Fans clearly saw that she held her arm close to her body, which clearly showed her discomfort.

Morgan reflected on her grievous shoulder injury

Morgan hurt her shoulder in a match where she and Raquel Rodriguez faced off against Bayley and Dakota Kai on the May 13 episode of WWE SmackDown. Sacrificing the WWE Woman’s Tag Team Championship title due to the injury wasn’t easy. But she’s taking it in all stride.

It’s been a decade since Morgan made her debut in the Stamford-based company, showing off her tremendous agility and signature scrappiness. After being sidelined last month, she tried her best to keep herself motivated and engaged in other pursuits despite the testing situation.

During a recent interview, Rodriguez’s tag teammate noted, ”It’s my first injury, so I was definitely very dramatic in the beginning. I’m not used to being hurt, I’m not used to taking time off, but I’m trying to be grateful for this time off and enjoy it while I have it because once we get going, it never stops.

Now, the last thing fans want is to miss her again on the roster for an unhealed shoulder. We can only wait and watch how things will unfold for the former SmackDown Women’s Champion in the future.
