Rhea Ripley’s Condition After Scary Spot on 4/7 WWE RAW

The April 7th episode of Monday Night Raw had fans on edge, but it wasn’t just the intense build-up to WrestleMania 41 that had viewers talking—it was a scary moment involving Rhea Ripley that stole everyone’s attention.

During a heated segment, IYO SKY launched herself off the ropes and nailed Ripley with a springboard missile dropkick. The move sent Ripley crashing into Bianca Belair, but the real concern came right after. Fans watching immediately feared the worst—a fractured orbital bone, a broken nose, or something even more serious.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful addressed the situation during his post-Raw show, revealing what he had heard from those backstage after the incident. “IYO SKY hits a springboard dropkick on Rhea. At the time, I was like, ‘Oh my God, is Rhea going to make it to this match?’ Fractured orbital, broken nose — whatever it might be,” Sapp explained.

Thankfully, the worst-case scenario didn’t come true. Sapp followed up with encouraging news: “The people I spoke to backstage said she seemed all right — in good spirits and all that good stuff. But it was definitely one of those moments where a lot of people went, ‘Oh s**, is she okay?’ But, you know… tough woman.”*

Sources say Ripley shook off the hit like a champion and didn’t appear to be seriously injured. Her ability to walk away without any immediate signs of damage only adds to her reputation as one of the toughest in the game.

The match between Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and IYO SKY is still on for WrestleMania 41, and now fans are more invested than ever. With the Women’s World Championship on the line, the stakes are massive—but after Monday night, all eyes are also on Ripley’s physical condition heading into the biggest event of the year.

Rhea Ripley has proven once again why she’s not just a dominant champion—but an absolute warrior. The countdown to WrestleMania is ticking, and one thing is certain: if Ripley’s stepping into that ring, she’s bringing the fight.
