Rhea Ripley Could Make Quicker Than Expected WWE Return

Liv Morgan might not be safe from Rhea Ripley for long.

On October 30th it was announced that Rhea Ripley would be out of action for an “undisclosed period” after suffering a fractured right orbital socket.

The news was revealed after Ripley was attacked in the NXT parking lot by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Ripley had appeared on the show giving a pep talk to several members of the women’s roster. The attack was used as a way to write the star off television.

The Aussie star and Morgan have been at war for much of 2024 with their most recent match coming at Bad Blood.

Rhea Ripley To Make An Impact

However, it seems Ripley might be back quicker than previously thought. According to a report from PWInsider, the internal hope is that the injury isn’t as bad as “previously thought.” However, there remains no timetable for her return.

Looking to the longer term, as expected, Ripley is expected to have a major role at WrestleMania 41.

It was reported that Rhea Ripley was scheduled to face Raquel Rodriguez at Crown Jewel, but the match was scrapped.
