Rhea Ripley Returns to Singles Action on WWE RAW for the First Time in Nearly a Year

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.

Facing longtime rival Raquel Rodriguez, Ripley didn’t miss a step as the two brawled throughout the arena. The match was a chaotic affair, with Liv Morgan intervening to attack Ripley. However, Morgan’s interference was thwarted by IYO SKY, who took her out of the equation.

Ripley delivered a devastating Riptide through a table to Rodriguez, securing a definitive victory in her long-awaited return to singles competition.

Post-match, Ripley and SKY grabbed Liv Morgan’s Women’s World Championship, holding it high as they stared each other down. The confrontation left fans speculating about Ripley’s next move in the championship picture.
