WWE is reportedly making preparations for the eventual in-ring return of Liv Morgan, aiming to make her comeback a significant surprise for the fans.
According to PWInsider, the current internal expectation is that Morgan will be medically cleared and ready to compete again by early 2026. This timeline aligns with the typical recovery period following the shoulder surgery she required after suffering a dislocated shoulder during the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw. While early 2026 is the target, the report also notes that there is a possibility Morgan could return sooner.
Sources indicated that if her physical therapy progresses ahead of schedule, an earlier comeback could be feasible. However, WWE is said to be intentionally keeping the specific details surrounding her return under wraps. The belief within the company is that maintaining secrecy will maximize the fan reaction when she finally appears on television again.
Potential Royal Rumble Return
There is reportedly considerable excitement within WWE about Morgan’s return. Multiple sources confirmed that the company is eager to have her back involved in storylines. Her popularity, particularly in international markets such as Saudi Arabia, has fueled speculation that WWE might time her return to coincide with the Royal Rumble event.
That event is scheduled to be held in that country. A surprise entrance in the Royal Rumble match is a common tactic WWE uses for major returns. Signs point to Morgan making progress in her recovery. She has already been seen at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, which typically indicates that an injured superstar is actively engaged in the rehabilitation process.
Furthermore, her appearance at a special WWE announcement event in Las Vegas has added to the belief that she is nearing full medical clearance. Whether she returns precisely on the expected early 2026 timeline or surprises everyone with an earlier appearance, WWE seems intent on making Liv Morgan’s comeback a marquee moment.
