Rhea Ripley May be Forced to Relinquish Her Title Due to Injury – PWInsider reports that Rhea Ripley sustained an injury during last week’s episode of Raw.
The report indicates that the severity of her injury raises worries that she may have to relinquish her world title. Although the specific nature of Ripley’s injury remains undisclosed, speculation suggests that it occurred during last Monday’s episode.
The incident in question occurred during a backstage segment on the show, where Liv Morgan struck Ripley in the head with a steel chair. Ripley is scheduled to address this surprising attack during tonight’s Raw. Since her victory over Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40, Ripley has been absent from in-ring action, with WWE not holding any house shows over the weekend.
Fightful Select is reporting that the word regarding Ripley’s injury situation emerged within WWE shortly after the segment, and as far back as last Wednesday there was talk within the company about her likely needing to vacate the title as a result.
Adding to the concern, Ripley had been managing a wrist injury recently. However, it remains unclear if her current ailment is related to this previous issue. Ripley had been seen wearing a cast on The MMA Hour leading up to WrestleMania, indicating that she had been dealing with the injury for some time.
