Rhea Ripley is dealing with an injury that has WWE officials seriously considering vacating her Women’s World Championship. PWInsider reports, “the issue is severe enough that the talk internally is that Ripley may be forced to vacate her championship, possibly as soon as tonight’s episode of Raw.”
Ripley was injured on last week’s 4/8 WWE Raw during a backstage brawl with former ally Liv Morgan. The melee began when Morgan threw a chair at Ripley’s head, which may have caused the injury. Tonight on WWE Raw, she’s scheduled to address the attack.
Ripley has held the title since WrestleMania 39 (when it was the SmackDown Women’s Championship) and recently defended the gold at WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch. It’s a terribly unfortunate situation for Ripley, who has established herself as one of the biggest and brightest stars in WWE.
Since capturing the gold in 2023, the Judgment Day member has proven to be a hit with WWE fans around the world and her popularity led to her main eventing in Australia at WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth.
With that in mind, the decision to vacate the title will not be an easy one for those involved to make but, may be a necessary one. As for now, we at SEScoops wish Ripley the very best.
