Rhea Ripley is currently out nursing an injury, which has disrupted WWE’s creative plans.
What happened?
The Eradicator suffered a knee injury after her successful WWE Women's Title defense against Jade Cargill at Clash in Italy.
This injury has put her upcoming title defense at SummerSlam in jeopardy.
Why it matters for Rhea Ripley
If Ripley isn't declared fit, she may have to vacate her title, something she had to do the last time she won the Women's World championship a couple of years ago and got injured.
Liv Morgan, the current Women's World Heavyweight Champion, is awaiting the outcome of the Queen of the Ring tournament to potentially face Ripley at SummerSlam.
What comes next?
Morgan expressed confidence in taking the title off Ripley, citing her past victory over the Eradicator at SummerSlam.
Ripley's recovery is crucial for her title defense, and WWE fans are eagerly awaiting her return to the ring.
The Queen of the Ring tournament final will take place at Night of Champions, where Morgan will face IYO SKY for the crown.
A victory for Morgan would set up a highly anticipated match against Ripley at SummerSlam, provided the Eradicator is fit to compete.
WWE backstage announcer Jackie Redmond interviewed Morgan ahead of her Queen of the Ring tournament final, and Morgan stated she will take the title off Ripley as she has in the past.
Morgan's confidence and determination make her a formidable opponent for Ripley, and their potential match at SummerSlam is highly anticipated.
The outcome of the Queen of the Ring tournament and Ripley's recovery will determine the course of events for SummerSlam, and WWE fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome.
