Rhea Ripley has kept herself busy during her hiatus from WWE, tying the knot with Buddy Matthews while keeping their real-life relationship off television due to Matthews affiliation with AEW. Meanwhile, WWE storylines have progressed without her.
Despite a report from Dave Meltzer suggesting that WWE has nothing planned for Ripley at SummerSlam, recent developments indicate otherwise.
Sean Ross Sapp mentioned on Fightful Selects Backstage Report podcast that WWE has prepared for Ripleys return, leaving it flexible for her to come back in any capacity, even if its not for in-ring competition.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan has been pursuing Dominik Mysterio, and her recent role in Judgment Day gaining the tag team belts might have influenced Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. Ripleys return will certainly add more intrigue to this situation.
We will continue to monitor this story and many more from the pro wrestling world here at Ringside News. The landscape of WWE can change quickly, especially with Rhea Ripley poised for her return.
