This development confirms Ripley’s participation in the Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series 2024, aligning with Belair and Cargill’s team. Her return follows a brutal backstage assault by Morgan and Rodriguez on NXT.

Behind Rhea Ripley’s Absence from WWE Television

Ripley’s temporary departure stemmed from an October 21 incident on RAW, where she suffered a fractured orbital bone during an altercation with Morgan and Rodriguez. WWE orchestrated her exit through a backstage segment on NXT’s October 29 episode.

The storyline assault led to Ripley bleeding after an attack near her vehicle. WWE confirmed the orbital socket injury as part of the narrative, though initial reports suggested a possible extended absence leading to WrestleMania 41.

However, her swift return for the WarGames Match demonstrates a change in plans.
