Rhea Ripley’s recent injury during a RAW segment has sparked discussions, with some questioning its severity.
Liv Morgan’s attack left Ripley with a shoulder injury, leading to her relinquishing the Women’s World Title for recovery.
On the Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash shared his take on the situation, expressing doubts about the injury’s authenticity based on Ripley’s promo.
He discussed the uncertainty surrounding the need for surgery due to the AC joint injury’s severity.
“I’m JFK-ing this Ripley injury. I just never seen her cut that bad of a promo before. Just didn’t feel from the heart. It’s an AC joint, 50% of orthopedics say let’s operate, 50% would say let’s not operate depending on if it’s a one, two, or three [Grade of severity].”
Nash also speculated on Ripley’s recovery timeline, referencing her initial estimate of six months.
He suggested WWE might expedite her return in an eight-week storyline, portraying her as a superhuman figure.
“Boom! Miraculously, superhuman. Back in eight weeks.”
Amid Ripley’s absence, Becky Lynch claimed the Women’s World Championship by winning a Women’s Battle Royal on RAW, further shaping the terrain of the division.
