Details regarding the long process of Liv Morgan’s recovery from head injury
As seen during WWE WrestleMania 42 Saturday, Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win the WWE Women’s World Title. The match lasted approximately 6 minutes and 50 seconds.
Ahead of the event, Liv’s status had been uncertain after she was reportedly been put into concussion protocol following a head collision with Roxanne Perez during a backstage segment. While appearing on the Six Feet Under podcast, Liv addressed the recovery from her injury…
“Like a couple weeks before Mania, you know, we had a segment where Stephanie shoved me into Roxanne and Roxanne and I hit heads super hard and I had this giant like juicy hematoma, really, really, really big. And pretty much we were like, ‘All right, it’s going to settle and go away.’
So like, you know, like six months pass, seven months pass, I still have this hematoma. And so we’re like, ‘All right, let’s let’s inject it with steroids, see if it goes away.’ And so we do like two steroid injections. And the hematoma does go away, but it left like a divot in my head cuz like the steroids ate the fat.
So just this week, I pretty much had a fat graph, which is it’s not lipo, but in my mind, I had like lipo. And then they just put it in my head. And so how’ they do what they do? They like went they put me to sleep on my neck and then they went in my belly button and I have a little suture and they went in my belly button and they like sucked out some fat and then they went in my hairline and they injected it and now it’s going to take a couple weeks to smooth it out and then in 3 months we’ll know if I need another one cuz your body only restores 50% of the fat.
It was pretty much just like long process that no one’s known about that I’ve just been like eternally like struggling with… I liked it for work, I didn’t mind it for work, but in like in life like I was rough. And it’s like all I saw, you know, like it’s all my eyes went to and so I’m glad that it’s like gone and we’re on the mend. But it was a f*cking doozy.”
