I feel like if Rhea is gonna be forced to vacate the title, then Liv probably isn't the best choice to get it (or at least have anything more than a month or two as champ). She's someone who feels like she's ice cold, and her in ring ability + promo skills (which are among some of the worst on the main roster for the women) don't lend themselves well to a long title reign. I'm amazed at how people have forgotten how utterly terrible her Smackdown Women's Title reign was, and while part of that was on WWE creative, part of it was also on Liv completely running out of steam like two weeks into it because she regressed pretty hard in the ring and her promo skills were abysmal.
WWE should be counting its blessings that the draft is coming up, because this is probably the time to draft Damage CTRL to RAW, as they can fill in the shoes Rhea could leave behind quite easily. Whether it be Iyo, Dakota, Asuka, or Kairi.

Fightful update.
Wasn't the chair to the head but when she hit the wall.

If Seth can keep his title injured and Roman can show up once a quarter, then let Rhea keep it.

Freak accident. Whether it was because of hitting the wall or because of the chair shot, it still sucks she got hurt to the point where it's at least a possibility that she may have to vacate the belt.

If it’s legit, makes me wonder if it is her arm/shoulder?

If Seth can keep his title injured and Roman can show up once a quarter, then let Rhea keep it. She's had nine televised matches in the last eight months. Unless this is an injury that puts her on the shelf through the summer, I don't see any reason she has to vacate the belt. She hardly defends it on television as is.

The spot in question and yeah, both slams into the wall are rough enough to have caused a bad injury.

She's someone who feels like she's red hot, and her in ring ability + promo skills (which are among some of the best on the main roster for the women) lend themselves well to a long title reign. I'm amazed at how people have forgotten how poorly booked her Smackdown Women's Title reign was, and while all of that is on WWE creative, part of it was also on Ronda completely running out of steam because she regressed pretty hard in the ring and her promo skills were abysmal.

Glad it apparently wasn't the chairshot. Backstage brawls are a wrestling staple and this was a freak accident.
I stand by my words. Chairshots to the head and throwing chairs are just too dangerous. Save it for the video game.

Figure this could have of interest with whats going on now.
When all else fails you call in the Becks.
So Liv Vs Becky at Backlash....maybe.

If Seth can keep his title injured and Roman can show up once a quarter, then let Rhea keep it. I wish they'd given the same consideration to Finn back in 2016, but it is what it is. Rhea isn't so necessary to the women's division. I'd suggest that the title is. If she's as banged up as reports say, she can use the time off. That said, she doesn't need to hold the title in the interim. Women's title tournament for the win!

Sucks if she vacated the title. I just hope she's okay and recovers quickly.

So which scenario is more ideal? She flat out vacates the title or gets goaded into a match and is pinned cleanly with everyone knowing she's injured?

Unless she is going to be out indefinitely why does she need to vacate? Seth kept his title even though he was out for about 3 months.

I dont usually like the idea of interim champions, but....I could buy it here.
Alternatively, find someone from NXT, or even a random free agent, who can be Rhea's proxy.
She fights for Rhea, wins, but is treated like garbage by Rhea for it, eventually turns on her for a face pop when Rhea is ready to go again.

Vacating the title and taking time away is probably seen as a better piece of storytelling here. Understand everyone is citing Roman and Seth but need to look at each individually I think. Taking time away to heal and coming back with nuclear rage pointed in Morgan's direction is a feud with at least two PPV matches in it. Story writes itself.

Big Batista/Mark Henry energy here. By the time we actually get to the match, we’re gonna be like two years removed from the initial thing that kicked it off.
