Rhea Ripley Advertised For New WWE Shows Following Legitimate Injury

Injured WWE star Rhea Ripley has been advertised for the upcoming European tour ahead of WrestleMania 41.

On November 4, WWE announced an 11-city tour of the UK and Europe for this March ahead of WrestleMania 41.

The tour will feature the first Monday Night Raws to take place in the UK since 2019 and the first Friday Night SmackDowns in the UK since 2023.

In the press release for the tour, the company announced former WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley for the upcoming European tour. The press release reads:

Fans in attendance will see their favorite WWE Superstars just weeks ahead of WrestleMania 41, including Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Drew McIntyre, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, and many more*. *Talent subject to change

Ripley was recently written off TV after suffering a legitimate orbital bone fracture.

While WWE announced that Ripley would be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time, the European tour announcement appears to indicate that WWE expects to have her back on TV ahead of WrestleMania 41.

Of course, the company included their infamous “talent subject to change” caveat, so Ripley appearing at these events isn’t set in stone.

We will continue to provide more updates on the situation as they become available.
