In a somber opening to Monday Night Raw, the wrestling world witnessed the unfortunate departure of Ria Ripley as she was compelled to vacate her hard-earned Women’s World Championship. The news broke hearts as Ria, in a solemn announcement, revealed the injury sustained during her brawl with Liv Morgan on last week’s Raw, which will sideline her for several months.
Ria’s title reign, marked by her victory over Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania 40, was a testament to her rising momentum and burgeoning popularity, even as a heel. However, fate had a different plan, abruptly halting her reign and leaving fans with a sense of melancholy.
Updates on Ria’s injury status provided by PW Insider’s Mike Johnson shed light on the severity of her condition. The injury, occurring when Liv Morgan sent Ria into a wall, affected the AC joint connecting her collarbone and right shoulder. While the exact recovery timeline remains uncertain pending further evaluation, fans hold out hope for a swift and complete recovery for the former champion.
As Ria Ripley embarks on her journey to recovery, the wrestling community stands in solidarity, wishing her a speedy return to the ring and the opportunity to reclaim her rightful place atop the women’s division.
