WWE star makes return during Raw tapings

After just a few weeks, Rhea Ripley is back.

During the tapings for next week’s WWE Raw in Grand Rapids, Rhea Ripley came out wearing a noseguard and attacked WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. A brawl ensued featuring multiple women leaving Ripley, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Naomi, and IYO SKY standing tall over the likes of Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Nia Jax, likely setting up a WarGames match at Survivor Series later this month.

On the October 29 edition of NXT, Ripley was written out of storylines after being left a bloody mess in the parking lot. Morgan and Rodriguez were seen walking away holding baseball bats as personnel tended to Ripley. In reality, Ripley had suffered a fractured orbital bone at some point in October. At the time, there was no timetable for a return.

Ripley’s momentum in WWE was paused earlier in the year when a shoulder injury kept her out of action for three months. Ripley has attempted to win back the Women’s World Championship back but has come up short each time.
