Rhea Ripley Returns To The Ring At WWE House Show
After four months of inactivity
Rhea Ripley returned to the ring on Saturday night at a WWE house show, marking her first match in over four months.
Ripley teamed with fellow Judgment Day member Damian Priest in a loss to Dolph Ziggler and Nikki ASH on Saturday night in Sioux City, IA.
Ripley had not wrestled since June 6, when she won a four-way match over Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, and Liv Morgan on Raw to earn a championship match. After being pulled from Money in the Bank, Ripley responded to a fan on Instagram, saying that she was suffering from brain and dental injuries.
When responding to a fan that said she didn't look injured, Ripley wrote, "“Brain/teeth. Can't see a brain injury. Stop being incompetent and reaching at nothing."
Dave Meltzer later noted on an episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Ripley had to have braces put in to fix the dental issue.
Despite being inactive as a wrestler during that time, Ripley has continued to appear with The Judgment Day group, which includes herself, Priest, Finn Balor, and now Dominik Mysterio.
