Backstage WWE Rumors on Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez and More
Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez have been on a roll of late on WWE television, and they are at the forefront of backstage rumors behind the scenes.
Could Morgan be in line for a significant push in the coming weeks? Why was Perez recently praised during WWE's lengthy tour of Europe?
Find out the answers to those questions, as well as a potential timetable for Chad Gable's return to the ring, with this collection of insider reports.
Liv Morgan in Line for Big Push
1 of 3
Ibou of Self Made Pro reported there are some in WWE who believe Liv Morgan should win the women's Royal Rumble and challenge Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42, and that scenario is "absolutely in play."
He added that WWE officials still do not know what the Women's World Championship match will be at The Showcase of the Immortals on April 18-19.
Morgan has never competed in a singles match of any kind at 'Mania. She has been in tag team title matches before at the event, but never one of her own while competing for an individual championship.
One of the biggest breakout stars of the Triple H era of WWE, the 31-year-old has earned the right to compete for the title on the biggest stage in wrestling. She has also twice finished as the runner-up in the women's Rumble, so finally winning it would be another item crossed off of her to-do list.
The Raw women's division is loaded with talent, so it is understandable that it would be difficult to nail down exactly who will be involved in the world title match.
However, Morgan has certainly earned the right to be a part of it, both from an in-ring performance standpoint and her stature with the audience.
Roxanne Perez Receives Praise

Roxanne Perez is in the midst of a push toward the Women's Tag Team Championship with Judgment Day teammate Liv Morgan, but she has received backstage praise for a different reason.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite reported Perez has been working "banged up" throughout the European tour, but she has continued through.
The injury is not serious enough for the 24-year-old to be out of action, but it predates the trip overseas. She has earned respect and praise for gutting it out and not missing any dates.
Perez will partner with Morgan on Saturday Night's Main Event in Montreal to battle Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky for the women's tag titles, one of three blockbuster matches on the prime-time special.
One of the best young competitors on the roster, The Prodigy has repeatedly proved why she is the face of women's wrestling in the future in WWE and this is simply the latest example.
Latest on Chad Gable's Return

Chad Gable has been out of action since suffering an injury during Money in the Bank weekend last summer, but his long absence may be nearing its end.
Johnson reported there have been creative pitches for the 39-year-old to return as soon as Monday's Raw in Toronto.
Gable was last seen playing both himself and El Grande Americano and was the standout of that Money in the Bank weekend, competing against El Hijo del Vikingo at the AAA event Friday and then in the men's ladder match.
One of the best and most naturally gifted in-ring competitors on the roster, the Olympian has stayed in shape, wowing fans with his workout updates on social media.
It remains to be seen what he will do when he does return, but one would have to think it would involve Ludwig Kaiser's incarnation of Americano. On a recent episode of Raw, the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile could be spotted in the background of a segment involving the masked luchador, as well as Bravo and Rayo, potentially hinting at the intersection of those two acts.
Whatever Gable ends up doing, the product will be better for it as he is one of the best all-around performers on the roster and has repeatedly proved he can make anything he is involved in better.
