In a new report from The Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Rhea Ripley following her injury in April.
Meltzer stated that the former Women’s World Champion, who vacated the belt revealing she would be out of action for “quite a few months,” has chosen to rehab her shoulder instead of opting for surgery, adding:
Right now she’s not scheduled back for SummerSlam but we were also told if she heals up faster than expected or if the storyline changes to where they need her for an appearance it’s still possible. If rehab can’t mend the shoulder enough, she could need surgery.
SummerSlam takes place Saturday, August 3, emanating from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
