WWE Raw last night had buzz for all the wrong reasons.
During a six-woman tag team match, the recently returning Brie Bella (teaming with sister Nikki and Natalya) landed a series of brutal kicks to the face of Liv Morgan (teaming with Riott Squad's Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan
Morgan is having issues with remembering what happened and was said to have been on "auto pilot" right after, and underwent concussion testing. The referee in the match was being told via the Gorilla Position to keep Liv Morgan out of the match. Sarah Logan had to help her out of the ring while Ruby Riott was in the ring calling the match on the fly. As much of a mess as the match was, we were told that the concern was only on Liv Morgan.
Morgan returned to the ring apron, and jumped into a triple suplex spot that she wasn't supposed to, as she was being told to leave the ring. The rest of the Riott Squad had to physically restrain her at ringside after the move and talk to her, to ensure that she'd remain out of the ring until the end of the match or help arrived.
There was another spot after this where Bella was to be catapulted into a forearm from Ruby Riott, but ended up cracking Riott in the mouth instead.
Based on who we spoke to, there doesn't appear to be any bad blood between Brie Bella and Liv Morgan, and Brie Bella apologized to Liv repeatedly backstage. On the other hand, we're told that Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott "looked" to be unhappy, as they're legitimately close friends of Liv Morgan's.
Contrary to other reports, and WWE's own commentary, Morgan was not taken backstage to the trainer's room, locker room, or anywhere for that matter. She remained at ringside through the end of the match, as she was being tended to by Dr. Chris Amann. Immediately after the match, Logan and Riott checked on her.
TMZ reported Tuesday evening that Morgan sustained a concussion, which was confirmed to Fightful via a WWE rep.
We'll have more on this situation on this week's List & Ya Boy Podcast.
