Tommy Dreamer Sheds Light on Liv Morgan’s Injury – Veteran wrestler Tommy Dreamer has offered a detailed and empathetic perspective on the real-life shoulder injury suffered by Liv Morgan during the June 16 episode of WWE RAW. Speaking on Busted Open After Dark, Dreamer made it clear the injury was legitimate and not part of a storyline, while also sharing technical insight into what may have caused the dislocation.
Morgan’s match against Kairi Sane was stopped moments after it began, with Morgan appearing to dislocate her shoulder during a drop toehold spot. Dreamer firmly rejected any online speculation suggesting the incident was scripted, stating, “The woman got hurt. It sucks.” Drawing from his personal experience, he added, “From someone who has separated a dislocated shoulder, the moment it happens, it takes the breath out of you. If you could tell right away she rolled out… she knew something was wrong with her body.”
Dreamer broke down the movement that likely led to Morgan’s injury. “When she went down, her left leg was still up, almost like in a kneeling position, where her right leg was going flat,” he explained. “As that goes, if you’re falling forward, even at the easiest of imbalance, your shoulder is going to hyperextend.” He emphasized that Morgan wasn’t trying to catch herself but simply fell forward, making it “so easy to pop your shoulder and dislocate it.”
Having suffered a similar injury in 1996, Dreamer also warned Morgan about the potential long-term challenges of recovery. “It sucks, and it’s going to be something that happens for the rest of your life,” he admitted. “You just got to continue the rehab, continue strengthening that shoulder, and don’t come back too soon.”
As WWE awaits a full medical diagnosis to determine Morgan’s recovery timeline, Dreamer’s insight adds both clarity and compassion to a situation that has left fans concerned. His words also serve as a reminder of the physical toll even routine spots can take on performers.
