The previous WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, made a notable reentry into WWE last week on RAW. Her dramatic appearance entailed fending off Liv Morgan and having a face-to-face with Dominik Mysterio to end the episode.
Pwinsider provided further details about Ripley following the latest RAW episode.
Vigilant fans might have observed that there was no physicality from Ripley during the show aired on July 15th.
The report suggests that Ripley is yet to get a comprehensive medical green light for physical engagements from WWE’s medical team. However, it’s anticipated that she will step back into the ring in time for WWE SummerSlam 2024.
A number of insiders confirm that Ripley’s wrestling return is slated for the pay-per-view event on August 3rd. In addition, she will not indulge in any physical confrontations on WWE shows until her complete clearance is received.
There were initial considerations about bringing Ripley back into the WWE narratives at SummerSlam 2024 or on Monday Night RAW the next day. Eventually, though, WWE decided to pair her up with Liv Morgan for a face off at SummerSlam 2024.
The rationale behind this choice was Ripley’s demonstrated confidence about her readiness for the event. This event holds substantial significance as one of WWE’s most prominent pay-per-view events of the year.
