Rhea Ripley stepped back into the spotlight on the December 9 episode of WWE Raw, competing in her first singles match on the brand since January 1, 2024. After an injury-plagued year, Ripley made her comeback in a hard-hitting Anything Goes Match against Raquel Rodriguez, reigniting their fiery feud.
The match marked a pivotal moment for Ripley, who has been one of WWE’s most dominant forces but was sidelined for extended periods throughout the year. The last time Ripley competed in singles action on Raw was during the “Day 1” episode, making her return a headline-grabbing event.
