Raquel Rodriguez revealed that Liv Morgan’s injury has impacted the plans for the entire women’s locker room, extending well beyond just this week’s Evolution 2 PPV event. In a recent interview with Shak Wrestling to promote the all-women PPV, Rodriguez, who is one half of the current women’s tag team champions, discussed topics including Kevin Nash’s criticism of her work style and her development within Judgment Day.
When asked about the effect of Liv Morgan’s injury on the plans, Rodriguez said its influence reached far beyond the Evolution PPV. She emphasized that Morgan’s absence affected not only Evolution but also the entire female roster, including Judgment Day.
Liv Morgan sustained a shoulder injury during a match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of Raw, during a storyline involving Nikki Bella. Many had hoped Morgan and Bella would clash at Evolution 2. Rodriguez expressed how much she misses Morgan, describing her as a vital partner and close friend who felt like a “right hand” and sister. Despite Morgan’s absence, the team is trying to maintain their strong communication, looking forward to her return.
In Morgan’s absence, Roxanne Perez has stepped in as Rodriguez’s tag team partner and is recognized as half of the tag team champions, defending the titles alongside Rodriguez.
Fan Take: This update highlights the significant impact injuries can have not only on individual wrestlers but on broader storylines and locker room dynamics. For WWE fans, it underscores the importance of adaptability and how new alliances, like Rodriguez and Perez’s partnership, can reshape the landscape of women’s wrestling.
