Liv Morgan has been out of action since July 2025 due to a shoulder injury she suffered during her match against Kairi Sane. The Judgment Day Member is reported to return at the Royal Rumble 2026, as per a source from PWInsider. Morgan is highly popular in Saudi Arabia, which could be a key reason behind her return, which could lead to a loud pop.

As per the report, Liv is cleared to wrestle by early 2026. The report hinted at the possibilities of Liv returning to action way before the Royal Rumble. However, it added that nothing as such has been confirmed as of yet.

"The expectation within WWE was that Morgan would hopefully return to the ring by the beginning of 2026. It is always possible she returns before that if she is ahead of schedule on her physical rehab after suffering the separated shoulder earlier this year, but we have not heard anything definitive," PWInsider's report claimed.

"The company wants her ready for the Royal Rumble," - Update on Liv Morgan's return

"One would think WWE is going to do everything they can to hide when she returns to get a big moment out of it," PWInsider's report added. Given that Liv is very popular among the fans in Saudi Arabia, there is a good chance of her returning in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

"We can attest from multiple sources that the company is very excited about her being back in the mix when it happens. She is especially popular in Saudi Arabia, so it stands to reason the company wants her ready for the Royal Rumble there," the report claimed.
