Highlights
- Rhea Ripley may need to vacate her Women’s World Championship after a serious injury on WWE RAW.
- Liv Morgan faces backlash over the incident, affecting her storyline with Ripley for a potential match.
- Ripley’s absence could impact upcoming WWE Draft and co-champion storyline with Damian Priest.
PWInsider is reporting that Rhea Ripley was injured on last week’s WWE RAW during a segment where she brawled with Liv Morgan. Unfortunately, the injury is bad enough that there’s talk she may have to vacate the Women’s World Championship, possibly as soon as tonight’s episode of RAW. Ripley has been the women’s world champion for 380 days. This would be a brutal way to end that run.
This is incredibly unfortunate timing for Ripley who is on and in a major role. She’s been one of the most dominant champions in women’s history and just came off a huge victory over Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40. She and Damian Priest were set to go on a long run as co-champions, essentially leading Judgment Day as one of the top factions in the company. If she’s unable to compete and will be out for some time, not only will this mean having to go another direction with the title, but it could affect the upcoming WWE Draft.
Liv Morgan is taking some heat on social media as the news is shared. It’s hard to see where Morgan would be the blame as the backstage brawl is just like so many others WWE has filmed in recent months. There was nothing specifically wrong with what Morgan did. It just appeared to have been a chair that caught Ripley off guard or the moment Ripley was sent into the wall. This news could affect Morgan’s storyline as she was being featured in a “Liv Morgan revenge tour” narrative with her sights set on Ripley. That program was expected to run for a while, potentially leading to a match at Backlash.

Hopefully, The Ripley Injury Isn’t Too Serious
While it sounds like Ripley’s issue is not short-term, the hope is that it’s not so long that she misses extensive time. She’s linked to so many stars and storylines that her being away for any length of time could have a ripple effect on several personalities.
