In a twist that even the toughest superstars couldn’t see coming (thanks to an orbital fracture), Rhea Ripley is officially out of action following an intense parking lot beatdown from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on WWE NXT. The attack, which felt half “wild ambush” and half “speed bump for career,” left Ripley with a fractured right orbital socket and WWE fans with no idea when she might return. WWE confirmed the injury with an ominous X-ray post on social media, stirring fans into a “legit” frenzy, with insider Sean Ross Sapp confirming, “Yup, that scan’s the real deal, folks.”
Liv Morgan’s Sudden Leap into Ripley’s Life
Since Ripley’s last absence, Morgan has been busy: picking up Ripley’s gold, taking over The Judgment Day, and maybe even warming up to Dominik Mysterio. If Ripley was concerned about a “busybody,” well, here’s Liv Morgan in full force. As Ripley recovers from yet another major injury, Morgan is eyeing even more gold in Saudi Arabia, where she’ll face WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax at Crown Jewel. So much gold, so little time to stay out of the ER.
Ripley’s last in-ring action was a “no contest” tag match on WWE Raw where she teamed with Tiffany Stratton against, you guessed it, Morgan and Rodriguez. Now, with Ripley sidelined indefinitely, the storyline practically writes itself—and perhaps Morgan’s next “title” will be Most Villainous on the Roster.
Key Takeaways:
- Rhea Ripley is out indefinitely with a fractured orbital socket.
- Liv Morgan may need to start carrying around a “kick-me” sign if this rivalry escalates.
- Dominik Mysterio, brace yourself—love’s about to get a little rougher.
Whether Ripley returns in full force or with an eyepatch, one thing’s certain: when she does come back, she’ll be seeing everyone through a blackened lens.
