LAS VEGAS – WWE stars Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer and Roxanne Perez were part of a brutal backstage incident in the days leading up to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
The segment saw Vaquer attack Morgan from behind while she was talking to Perez. Vaquer shoved Morgan into Perez and then threw her into a nearby TV. While the incident appeared to be a run-of-the-mill moment backstage to play into the Vaquer-Morgan storyline as they compete for the Women’s World Championship, Morgan and Perez were left with big bumps on their heads.

“We do live stunts. You can’t rehearse for what we do,” Fyre said. “You literally go out there and pick someone up and hope you don’t hurt them permanently. What Liv and Roxanne are going through right now is a perfect example of how things can easily just happen.”
Vaquer is in her first reign as World Women’s Champion after winning the vacated title at Wrestlepalooza, defeating Iyo Sky in November.
