While the general view is that Ripley might come and exact her revenge on Morgan to reclaim her WWE title, the backstage news indicates that might not be the case. According to Fightful Select, “the story available at the time of her return” will indicate her onscreen direction.
It was also reported that many creative decisions had been made in Rhea’s absence from the WWE. Meanwhile, Ripley has taken some time off wrestling, and is spending time with her fiancee, Buddy Mathews.
The duo are set to return for a family event, which was revealed after Mathews was written off AEW TV after a backstage attack by Christian Cage, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne.
