During this week’s WWE NXT, Rhea Ripley was seen laid out in the infamously dangerous NXT parking lot, the victim of an attack by baseball bat-wielding Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Fans were taken aback by how much blood was shown during the segment, and it’s now reported that the Australian Superstar is dealing with a legitimate injury.

A real injury resulted in this angle being produced, according to PW Insider, but no specifics were given as to what is wrong with Rhea Ripley. Earlier this year, Ripley missed three months of action earlier this year after suffering a shoulder injury during a segment with Liv Morgan. That injury resulted in Ripley vacating the WWE Women’s World Championship, a title that Morgan now holds.


On X, Ripley shared some x-rays and warned Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez that they had made a fatal error in judgment.



Ripley has made it her mission to regain the Women’s World Championship from Morgan, though has been unsuccessful thus far. The Australian came up short at SummerSlam thanks to the betrayal by Dominik Mysterio while the return of Raquel Rodriguez ensured the title didn’t change hands at WWE Bad Blood earlier this month.

This is a huge setback for Ripley who is one of the very top Superstars on Raw and has appeared for both SmackDown and NXT in recent weeks.
