00:00So, Liv Morgan is out, and probably going to be for a while, and that sucks. First and foremost,
00:13you just hope that she is okay. The timing is awful, shoulder injuries in general are just
00:20really brutal, and it just, it sucks to have that. So you just, you hope that she is okay.
00:26The cruel thing about sports is an injury like this does mean an opportunity for someone else.
00:35So how can the WWE handle this? We don't have the full official timeline, so we're not just
00:41going to do beat by beat by beat, and then when she comes back and blah blah blah blah,
00:44then she'll wrestle blah blah blah. We don't have that. But this is just how they can kind of
00:48handle it. Because you do have the tricky spot where Liv is dialed in on everyone's stuff,
00:55right now, right? Like, she had a feud with Nikki, she had this thing with Roxy, she had the thing
01:01with Raquel, and by the way, she had just started a feud with Io again for the Women's Championship.
01:07So there were a lot of beats that this girl was hitting, and I, I kind of think that this,
01:12this isn't a grand, oh my gosh, I kind of think you can put Roxy in all of it. Like,
01:19Roxy, have her now feud with Nikki Bella. Cool. It is not the big name that you are hoping for,
01:24for a Nikki Bella return, but it is someone who is probably a future champion, and a future star,
01:29and someone who I think has endless potential. So I think that is a phenomenal showcase for a
01:36Roxy to come in, have that match with Nikki Bella, and get that showcase for her and her character
01:41on an interesting stage at Evolution. And then, just have Roxy join up with Raquel for the Women's
01:49Tag Team titles. Maybe you get the belts having a little bit more of a spotlight, because Liv,
01:53we said, let her have the division to herself. And the problem was, the second they did that,
01:57she's off doing singles stuff, right? And who knows what the plan would have been.
02:01I'm presuming a title match at some point, because all the things we're talking about,
02:04those are all singles things. So let Roxy have this big moment at, um, at, uh, Evolution,
02:11have her wrestle Nikki Bella, and now, now let's stick with the tag team division.
02:17And she pairs up with Raquel, it's kind of strange bedfellows for a little bit, but at least it's
02:22maybe a bit more focused on the tag team division now, as well, and that helps build that out, uh,
02:28a little bit more. Have her at least flirt with Dom a little bit, like not, not as overt as the
02:33Lib stuff was, going into, um, everything with Rhea Ripley, and everything there, but at least have
02:39there be a little bit of like a, hey, hey, sort of a thing there. And all of this, and Finn is just
02:46loving every bit of it, right? Like that stupid grin where he is just, yeah, all of everything
02:53about him is just, yeah, and have all of that happening. And then when Liv comes back, it starts
02:58the huge implosion of Judgment Day. She has a blood rival now in Roxanne Perez, and you can still do,
03:06okay, uh, Raquel, WTF, Dom, what's happening here? Honestly, you can build all of that up. And if
03:14you do this right, coming out of an unfortunate circumstance, you might actually have the biggest
03:20baby face in the company in, on the women's side anyway, and maybe just in general, obviously Rhea
03:26has those big reactions right now. Um, but I, I feel like people are right there with Liv too.
03:32And if you can, through this injury, kind of turn a whole lot of things against her. And now she has
03:38to come back. She has a rivalry with Roxy. A lot of her world has fallen apart. And now she comes in
03:43and tries to build it all back up. And now the Liv Morgan revenge tour is on the positive side
03:49instead of the negative. I think you have the chance if done correctly to make just an absolute
03:54superstar out of this and probably a couple of them, right? Like you can probably, this elevates
04:00Roxy for a while and then a huge feud would elevate her and has a chance to elevate Liv too. So a
04:06disappointing set of circumstances for the WWE, but the potential to make chicken salad,
04:13out of, uh, the chicken shit that was presented to them with the injury on Monday. So, uh,
04:20those are my thoughts on the Liv Morgan situation.
