The Royal Rumble is the perfect place for an absent WWE superstar to make a surprise return. According to the latest reports, a former Women's Champion is expected to return at the January 27 event in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Liv Morgan has not been on WWE television since July, when she was attacked by Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. Morgan had a legitimate shoulder injury and had to be written out of television to recover.
There were reporters back in November that Morgan was set to get re-evaluated in Birmingham, Alabama, and see if she's healthy enough to return. She was then arrested in Florida on December 14 for possession of marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids.

Liv Morgan is not in trouble with WWE despite arrest
According to Fightful Select, there was no heat on Liv Morgan despite her arrest. Morgan was set to already be absent on television, and no creative plans have been affected by the situation. The serious possession of drugs charge of possibly synthetic cannabinoids was dropped late last week.
Komo News reported that the State of Florida cannot prove that the cannabinoid was synthetic or natural. Morgan is only facing a marijuana possession charge and is expected to appear at a status conference on February 20.
If convicted, Morgan will face one year in prison or probation and a $1,000 fine. Her driver's license could also be suspended for six months, and she'll be subjected to random drug testing.
