Rhea Ripley vacated her Women’s World Championship after injuring her shoulder following a vicious backstage attack from Liv Morgan. Since then, the star has not been seen on WWE TV and is expected to be out of action for a few months.
While Ripley is out, Liv Morgan has been doing a brilliant job with the title and has added a new twist to the storyline after kissing Dominik Mysterio a couple of weeks back on Monday Night Raw. Though the story is getting exciting for fans, millions are awaiting the return of the Eradicator to get things much intense.
A new update from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed a lot. The update states that Ripley is not expected to be back in the company before Summerslam 2024 in August. The star has opted complete rehab instead of a surgery for now and might make an appearance if she is needed for the existing storyline.
“Ripley is rehabbing her shoulder rather than having surgery. Right now she’s not scheduled back for SummerSlam but we were also told if she heals up faster than expected or if the storyline changes to where they need her for an appearance it’s still possible. If rehab can’t mend the shoulder enough, she could need surgery.”
While Rhea Ripley might not be back by Summerslam, WWE has an ample amount of time to get the current Liv Morgan Revenge Tour to the pinnacle. A return then would intensify the picture and would add a lot of excitement to Ripley’s return. Stay connected to Ringside News to get the latest updates related to the industry.
