Rhea Ripley is dealing with a knee injury, and WWE is now waiting to see how serious things really are.
During the June 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore announced that Ripley is currently being evaluated after suffering the injury while in Italy. WWE has not given a firm return date yet, because the company is waiting to see how she responds to treatment.
That makes Ripley’s status something to watch closely, especially with how important she has been to WWE’s women’s division. Any injury involving Ripley is going to get attention, and a knee issue is never something fans want to hear about.
Ripley last wrestled at WWE Clash in Italy, where she retained her Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill. She also worked a few live events during WWE’s European Summer Tour, so it remains to be seen exactly how much time she may need before getting back in the ring.
For now, WWE is not putting a timeline on her return. The next update will likely depend on how treatment goes and whether the injury improves quickly.
Rhea Ripley’s knee injury is still being evaluated, and fans will have to wait for more information on when she can return. The good news is that WWE has at least addressed the situation, but the real question now is how serious the injury turns out to be.
