In a move that is sure to delight her fans, WWE has announced that Rhea Ripley will be making a special appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City on August 18th. This comes as welcome news for fans who have been eagerly waiting for the former Women’s World Champion to return to action. Ripley was forced to relinquish her title last month due to an injury she suffered during a backstage attack by Liv Morgan.
Ripley’s absence from WWE programming has been felt, and many fans have been vocal about their desire to see her back in the ring. Unfortunately, her injury has kept her sidelined, and her absence has been felt on Monday Night RAW. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently took to social media to express his discontent with WWE’s decision not to feature Ripley on RAW during her injury hiatus.
Russo, a veteran of the wrestling industry, criticized WWE for not finding a way to incorporate Ripley into their programming despite her injury. He drew comparisons to the Attitude Era, where injured wrestlers would still appear on television if they were huge stars. Russo’s comments have sparked a debate among wrestling fans, with many agreeing that Ripley’s presence on RAW would be a boost to the show.
Meanwhile, rumors have been circulating that Liv Morgan may be trying to steal Dominik Mysterio from Ripley during her hiatus from the company. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this situation plays out and when Ripley will be able to return to action.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to seeing Ripley at Fanatics Fest, where she will be participating in a live panel discussion and will be available for autographs. She will be joined by Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, making this a must-attend event for WWE fans. Tickets are sure to sell out quickly, so fans are encouraged to act fast to secure their spot at this exclusive event.
