After a brief break to film her first big Hollywood movie, WWE Superstar Liv Morgan is set for a return to the ring, and potentially as soon as this Monday on Raw.
Morgan, one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez, stepped away from WWE TV in late April to shoot Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo. A crime thriller directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Liv Morgan wrapped up filming for her part this week in Japan. That timeline lines up nicely for the Judgment Day member to make her grand return to WWE Raw this Monday.
WWE hasn’t stripped Morgan and Rodriguez of the tag team titles. The duo lost the titles to Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41. But got them back on the next edition of Raw for their fourth reign as champions.
There had previously been rumors that the pair were being set up for a major push as tag champs. The company likely wants to get to that as soon as possible and not have the titles further held up due to Morgan’s absence.
In the upcoming film, Morgan plays the daughter of a powerful politician whose disappearance sets off a high-stakes investigation led by an FBI agent (Lily James) and a troubled Tokyo police officer (Shun Oguri). Liv Morgan’s foray into Hollywood has been met with excitement from the film industry. Sources close to the production said she “ absolutely crushed it ” and was a natural on set.
