LAS VEGAS– WWE stars Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer and Roxanne Perez were involved in 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 with Perez. Vaquer pushed Morgan against Perez and then threw her against a nearby television. While the incident seemed like a mundane behind-the-scenes moment to play into Vaquer-Morgan history as they competed for the Women’s World Championship, Morgan and Perez were left with huge bumps on their heads.

“We do live stunts. You can’t repeat what we do,” Fyre said. “You literally go after someone and hope you don’t permanently hurt them. What Liv and Roxanne have on their heads right now is a perfect example of how easily things can happen.”
Vaquer is in her first reign as women’s world champion after winning the vacant title at Wrestlepalooza, defeating Iyo Sky, in November.
Morgan earned the right to face Vaquer at WrestleMania when she won the women’s Royal Rumble match.
