Women's Tag Title Match For WWE Raw Scrapped Due To Injury

Heading into Raw on Monday night, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship was set to be defended, with champs Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan defending against the conniving Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville.

But that match didn't take place after Adam Pearce disclosed on the show that Morgan wasn't medically cleared to compete and instead booked a singles bout between Rodriguez and Green, which Raquel handily won.

It looks like that injury wasn't purely part of a storyline. Fightful Select reports that Morgan was injured during their tag team title defense against Damage CTRL on SmackDown Friday night, though it wasn't clear where exactly the injury took place, nor did Fightful have details on the severity of the injury.

Fightful did note that Morgan was scheduled for a meet-and-greet event Monday morning, but she was replaced by Dolph Ziggler. The tag title match was not promoted on WWE social media throughout Monday, and then the match was scrubbed (in storyline) during Raw and replaced with the singles bout.

Hopefully, this won't lead to Morgan and Rodriguez having to vacate the titles, but it's too early to speculate, as we don't even know if Liv will miss more than this week. WWE did continue with an angle involving the tag titles, with Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler returning on Raw and attacking Raquel, threatening to continue beating her up until she defends the titles "with or without Liv."

As for Deville and Green not getting their promised tag title match, let's just say that it would fit their characters perfectly and serve them well if they were skipped over, as it would give them something else to complain to Pearce about and threaten to talk to his manager.
