Nikki Bella returned to WWE RAW on the June 9th, 2025, edition only to have her night spoiled by Liv Morgan. However, terrible luck struck Morgan as she suffered a dislocated shoulder the following week on RAW. And it now looks like one half of the Women’s tag team champs could be sidelined for months due to the injury.
Liv Morgan to undergo surgery for shoulder injury
Days after the incident, PWInsider reported that Morgan would be required to undergo shoulder surgery. Moreover, she is expected to be out of action for nearly six months. This leaves Bella without a feud after seeds were planted for a program with Morgan that was rumored to include a tag match at WWE Evolution 2.
With Morgan now out of the equation, let’s look at three replacement options to face the Hall of Famer at the all-female WWE premium live event.
Tiffany Stratton
Tiffany Stratton was the first WWE superstar spotted with Nikki Bella upon her return to WWE on the debut episode of RAW on Netflix. Moreover, Tiffy Time has been pushed as the next megastar. Her ongoing momentum can be further elevated by a storyline with Bella for her WWE Women’s title. The Fearless One can change directions and head to SmackDown to begin a feud with Stratton heading into WWE Evolution 2.
IYO Sky
Nikki Bella was spotted in an interaction with IYO Sky upon her return to RAW. While her initial feud was against Liv Morgan, the changed scenario might force Bella to channelize her heel roots. This could see her target Sky’s WWE Women’s World Championship. Morgan had also teased a feud with The Genius of the Skies this week on RAW. That spot can now go to Bella, and she could headline Evolution 2, much like she did at the first event, in a Women’s title match.
Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green had been vocal about having a program with Nikki Bella heading into WrestleMania 41. In fact, she was even open to battling the WWE Hall of Famer in an ‘Hair vs Hair’ match for the Women’s US title. With Liv Morgan possibly out of the picture, Green could step up to the task for a massive match of her career and produce a stellar bout against a legend like Nikki Bella.
