Real Reason Rhea Ripley Missed WWE Raw
Rhea Ripley was not at Raw on Monday night and the reason why has now become clear.
The September 11th episode of WWE Raw concluded with a major surprise as Nia Jax made her return. The main event of the show was a Women’s World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez.
Rodriguez looked to be in charge of the bout but was shockingly attacked by Nia Jax on the outside which allowed Ripley to nail her Riptide and pick up the win. Jax wasn’t done there as she took out the Women’s World Champion, nailing Ripley with a nasty Banzai Drop.
It was announced on the 18th of September edition of Raw that both Rodriguez and Ripley were absent due to injuries suffered at the hands of Jax. Rodriguez was said to be suffering whiplash while Ripley was believed to be nursing hurt ribs.
