During the July 15 episode of WWE RAW, Rhea Ripley finally addressed Dominik Mysterio’s actions with Liv Morgan and made it clear she was not happy with what’s been going on between them. However, it appears Ripley is unlikely to compete until SummerSlam.

RAW kicked off with Rhea Ripley addressing the events in her absence and straight off challenged Liv Morgan to match for the WWE Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam, which she accepted. However, many fans noticed how Rhea Ripley has not tried to attack Liv Morgan and they have skirted around it and there is a reason for that.

According to PWInsider, Rhea Ripley has not had any physical interactions, including with Liv Morgan or anyone else, since her return to WWE programming. Sources indicate that Ripley is currently not expected to wrestle until the SummerSlam event on August 3rd in Cleveland.

On top of that, she has not yet been fully cleared for physicality, but sources anticipate that she will be cleared by the time of the Premium Live Event. Until then, WWE plans to tease her involvement and work around her clearance status without any physical engagements.

”PWInsider.com is told by multiple sources that currently, Ripley is not expected to wrestle until the 8/3 Summerslam event in Cleveland. 

We are also told that Ripley has not been 100% cleared for physicality but sources expect that process to be completed by the PPV.    She will not have any physical interactions until she is cleared, so there will be a lot of teases and working around it until she gets the 100% green light.”

In the meantime, Rhea Ripley will continue to build her feud with Liv Morgan and also deal with Dominik Mysterio at the same time. We’ll have to see how Rhea Ripley will fare when she wrestles again at SummerSlam.
