Rhea Ripley Returns On WWE Raw

Rhea Ripley was back on WWE TV on the October 2 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Monday night's show opened with a brawl between Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, and Raquel Rodriguez and Ripley shocked fans when she headed to the ring and attacked Jax. Ripley ended up standing tall in the segment, at which point she invited her fellow Judgment Day faction mates to the squared circle. 

Only Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio headed to the ring and Judgment Day soon turned on Dirty Dom, questioning why he had lost the NXT North American Championship to Trick Williams at No Mercy. Ripley showed her usefulness, though, as she revealed that she had managed to secure a rematch for Mysterio on the October 3 edition of NXT. The segment came to an end after Ripley told Dominik not to bother coming home if he fails to regain the North American Title. 

Ripley had been off WWE TV since she was attacked by the returning Nia Jax on the September 11 episode of Raw. Ripley had taken time off since then, with the Women's World Champion and Buddy Matthews having been spotted in Australia in recent weeks. 

WWE will return to Australia on February 24, 2024 for Elimination Chamber. The show will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia.
