Ripley, 27, a member of Judgment Day, just defeated Becky Lynch to retain the championship at this month’s WrestleMania 40 extravaganza.
However, she is now expected to be out of action for months after revealing she is suffering from a shoulder injury.
The Australian, whose real name is Demi Bennett, was attacked last week on Raw by Liv Morgan.
The WWE star, who had her arm in a sling, admitted as much yesterday while confirming she would be out for “quite a few months.”
Ripley swore, “When I come back, I’ll come back for blood.” »
She then laid her title belt, which she won at WrestleMania 39, on the apron before Morgan came out and the two almost came to blows before security intervened.
WWE Chief Content Officer and Chief Creative Officer Triple H later shared footage of him consoling Ripley backstage after the Raw segment.
He hugged the powerhouse while whispering some words of encouragement in her ear, and he captioned the clip with: “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that @rhearipley_wwe will come back stronger, stronger and more dominant than ever.
“Thank you, Rhea, for a reign the entire WWE Universe can be proud of.”
However, this only sparked more fears that the grappler would be missing for a while, as worried fans rushed to the comments.
“It’s heartbreaking,” one said.
Another said: “I’m really going to miss her. Mami is always on top!
“That means there won’t be a mom for God knows how long,” wrote another while a fourth claimed: “Looks like it’s going to be a while before we see her.”
Although a more optimistic fan said: “We will miss her!! I hope she’s okay before SummerSlam.
