Rhea Ripley is set to remain sidelined for the foreseeable future, according to a new report.
WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley was forced to relinquish her title due to injury on the April 15 episode of WWE RAW. At the time, it was noted that she would be out of action for the next few months.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Rhea Ripley’s injury and her recovery. He wrote that Ripley is rehabbing her shoulder, as opposed to having surgery. He stated that she was not scheduled to be back for WWE SummerSlam.
However, Meltzer wrote that this could change if she heals faster than expected, or if the storyline changes and she is needed for an appearance. Meltzer also wrote that if rehab failed to heal the shoulder enough, Ripley could need surgery.
Following Ripley vacating the title, Becky Lynch won the gold. Liv Morgan then beat her to win the title at WWE King and Queen of the Ring. Morgan has bee involved in a storyline with Dominik Mysterio as part of her feud with Ripley.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
