When will Rhea Ripley Return?
Rhea Ripley is expected to return before WWE SummerSlam, though no exact date has been set. She had to give up the WWE Women’s World Championship due to a shoulder injury on April 15. As of early June, she was still rehabbing her shoulder.
WWE hopes she can come back before SummerSlam, and they have plans in place that allow her to return whenever she is ready, even if it is not in a wrestling role initially. There’s also talk about her potentially getting involved in the world title picture when she comes back, but this will depend on the storylines at the time.
