Following an incident on Monday Night RAW where Liv Morgan collided with Roxanne Perez, both wrestlers were placed in concussion protocol, putting Morgan's WrestleMania 42 match against Stephanie Vaquer in jeopardy. While Morgan wasn't unconscious, the collision was serious enough to trigger the protocol, and it remains unclear if she will be cleared to compete at the upcoming pay-per-view in two weeks.

Why it matters

Liv Morgan won the Royal Rumble in January, earning her a championship match at WrestleMania 42. Her planned bout against Vaquer for the Women's World Title is one of the marquee matchups on the card, so her potential absence would be a significant blow to the event.

The details

The incident occurred during a backstage segment on Monday Night RAW, where Vaquer unexpectedly attacked Morgan, pushing her into Perez. The collision between Morgan and Perez was loud and concerning enough to place both wrestlers in concussion protocol. While Morgan was not rendered unconscious, the protocol must be followed, and it remains uncertain if she will be cleared in time for WrestleMania, which is scheduled for two weeks from the time of the incident.

  • The incident occurred on the Apr. 6, 2026 edition of Monday Night RAW.
  • WrestleMania 42 is scheduled for Apr. 18, 2026.
