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.
Here is the update from Dave Meltzer on October 31, 2024:
“[Rhea has] got a fractured orbital bone,” Dave Meltzer said on “Wrestling Observer Radio” recently. “So the injury they announced is pretty much legit. It happened last week…Probably the last TV thing because she didn’t work any house shows.”
Meltzer believes it was the confrontation and physicality with Rodriguez on the October 21 “Raw” that injured Ripley. There is no timetable on Ripley’s return but Meltzer doesn’t sound optimistic about the chance at a speedy recovery.
“She is going to be out for a while,” Meltzer said. “It happened last week and then they did [the NXT attack] as a cover.”
