WWE stars Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez are in concussion protocol following a backstage segment on Monday Night Raw, raising concerns about their participation in WrestleMania 42. The incident occurred when Stephanie Vaquer, the Women’s World Champion, ambushed Morgan from behind, causing her to collide head-first with Perez. Vaquer then threw Morgan into a television set.
Immediate Action & Core Facts
Both women were evaluated for concussions, though WWE has not yet provided an official update on the severity of their injuries. Morgan and Perez posted photos of their injuries on social media, showing visible bumps on their heads. The collision happened during a segment where Morgan was thanking Perez for her help in a previous feud with Vaquer.
Deeper Dive & Context
The timing of the incident is particularly concerning, as Morgan is set to challenge Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42 in less than two weeks. Morgan won the Royal Rumble earlier this year and selected Vaquer as her opponent. Perez, who recently returned from surgery to remove a benign growth from her back, could face further setbacks if her recovery is delayed.
Vaquer has held the title for nearly 200 days after winning it at Wrestlepalooza in September 2024. Morgan previously held the championship from May 2024 to January 2025 before losing it to Rhea Ripley on Monday Night Raw’s Netflix premiere.
The segment also included a notable storyline development, with Morgan referencing that Finn Balor was responsible for bringing Perez into the Judgment Day stable.
