Rhea Ripley has spoken out following Liv Morgans legit shoulder injury on the June 16 episode of WWE RAWand this time, it wasnt in character.
After the show went off the air at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Ripley took to social media to call out fans who reacted inappropriately to the news. Without directly naming Morgan, Ripley made it clear that celebrating another wrestlers injury is unacceptable, regardless of rivalries or storylines.
Her message came shortly after Morgan was pulled from her match against Kairi Sane due to what WWE later confirmed as a dislocated shoulder. Ripley and Morgan have been locked in a long-running feud, but the former Womens World Champion put that aside to make a rare out-of-character statementunderscoring the real-world impact of in-ring injuries.
The match barely got started before Morgan appeared to land awkwardly after a bump to the outside. Referee Jessika Carr immediately stepped in to check on her, and WWE went to commercial as medical staff evaluated Morgan ringside. When the show returned, Sane was declared the winner as Morgan was unable to continue.
The timing of the injury is especially significant given Morgans rising momentum and rumors of a developing storyline with Nikki Bella tied to WWE Evolution. WWE later confirmed the shoulder dislocation, but a timeline for her return is still uncertain.
Ripleys reaction signals the respect shared behind the scenes, even between on-screen enemies. Her decision to speak out not only showed support for Morgan but also served as a direct message to fans crossing the line between fiction and reality.
