Rhea Ripley Sustains Serious Injury in Real-Life Attack: The Drama Unfolds in the WWE Universe

The Attack and Initial Announcement

On this week’s (Oct. 29) episode of NXT, Rhea Ripley was brutally attacked in the parking lot, reportedly by fellow wrestler Liv Morgan and her tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez. The incident left Rhea Ripley with a serious injury: a fractured right orbital socket. WWE later confirmed that Ripley would be out of action for an undisclosed period following the injury.

Analyzing Dave Meltzer’s Account of the Incident

Dave Meltzer, a renowned wrestling journalist and commentator, elaborated on the incident via Wrestling Observer Radio. According to Meltzer, Ripley’s injury is legitimate and occurred during an angle on NXT. The fractured orbital bone is real, as confirmed by the trainer’s report. According to Meltzer, the injury was sustained during a previous TV angle, likely one on the Oct. 21 episode of Raw where Ripley had a heated brawl with Rodriguez and Morgan, culminating in Dominik Mysterio getting locked in the prism trap. Meltzer suggests that the attack scenario in the parking lot was crafted by WWE to explain Ripley’s absence from recent live events and PPVs, such as Crown Jewel.

The Impact on Rhea Ripley’s Career

Rhea Ripley, a prominent WWE wrestler, was only last seen on screen before the October 21 Raw episode. Since then, there has been no mention of when she might return to the ring.
