So, let’s talk about this whole Rhea Ripley injury thing. Man, it’s been a wild ride following this one.
It all started a while back when I saw this clip of Rhea getting absolutely wrecked in the NXT parking lot. It was brutal, she was all bloodied and messed up after an attack by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. I remember thinking, “Oh man, that looks bad.”
Turns out, it was worse than it looked. Word got around that she was being written off the show because of a legit injury. Not just any injury, a fractured right orbital bone. Can you imagine? I cringed just hearing about it. Apparently, this happened last month, and they’re saying she’s out indefinitely.
I did some digging, as I always do, and found out this isn’t even her first rodeo with serious injuries. Back in June 2022, during a Fatal-4-Way match on Raw, she landed badly and messed up her teeth and, get this, her brain. I mean, brain injuries? That’s scary stuff.
Anyway, back to the parking lot incident. It got revealed pretty quickly that Rhea was the target. She was lying there, all battered and bloody, next to a car. WWE made an official statement saying that she had a fractured orbital socket and was out of action. No one knew for how long.
Then, things got even crazier. There were reports flying around that she was severely injured after her WrestleMania win. They were saying Liv Morgan messed up Rhea’s right shoulder. And the worst part? Rhea had to vacate her title because of it. Can you believe that? After all that hard work, she had to give up her title. It’s heartbreaking.
I’ve been keeping an eye on updates, and it’s just one thing after another. They announced she’s out for an “undisclosed amount of time” because of the attack on NXT. I even saw a post where Rhea herself commented on the situation after WWE gave an update. She’s tough, but this has got to be rough for her.
Here’s what I gathered in a nutshell:
- Incident 1: Rhea gets attacked in the NXT parking lot by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
- Result: Fractured right orbital bone.
- Incident 2: Rumors of a severe shoulder injury post-WrestleMania.
- Result: Forced to vacate her Women’s World Champion title.
- Current Status: Out of action indefinitely.
Honestly, I feel for the woman. She’s arguably one of the most popular female wrestlers in WWE right now, and to see her go through all this is tough. It just goes to show, the wrestling business is no joke. These folks put their bodies on the line every time they step into the ring, or even a parking lot, it seems. I’m just hoping she makes a full recovery and gets back to doing what she loves soon.
