Rhea Ripley Hints At Imminent NXT Return

NXT 2.0 could be about to meet The Judgment Day as Rhea Ripley has dropped a huge hint that she will be making her return to the brand.

Rhea Ripley played a big part in the black and gold era of NXT, even leading the brand into war with Raw and SmackDown near the end of 2019. During her time there, Ripley defeated Shayna Baszler to capture the NXT Women’s Championship. She reigned for three months before losing the title to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36.

Since moving to the main roster, Rhea Ripley has found a lot of success both in singles and tag team action. The Australian star has held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Nikki A.S.H as well as defeating Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37.

Now, Ripley has dropped a massive hint that she may be making a return to NXT, at least for one night. On May 29th, she posted an ominous one-word warning on Twitter.

“Tuesday. (sand timer emoji)”

Tuesday. ⏳
