Rhea Ripley will be out of action for an 'undisclosed amount of time' after suffering an injury, according to WWE.
In a news story published on their website yesterday, WWE claimed that Ripley sustained a fractured orbital socket during Tuesday's episode of NXT, where she made a surprise appearance and was attacked by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
WWE wrote:
"Last night on NXT, Rhea Ripley was heinously attacked in the parking lot by Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and her enforcer Raquel Rodriguez.
Following the brutal attack, it has been revealed that The Nightmare has suffered a fractured right orbital socket, which will put Ripley out of action for an undisclosed amount of time.
Make sure to follow all WWE social media platforms as this story develops".
At this stage it is unknown whether the angle is simply that or to explain a legitimate injury that may have happened at an earlier date.
Ripley missed four months of action after suffering a 'freak' shoulder injury earlier this year. She has wrestled six matches since making her return, the most recent of which took place on the October 7 edition of Raw.
The 28-year-old recently agreed to a new long-term WWE deal.
