PWMania.com previously reported that WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley has been sidelined due to a knee injury she sustained recently. She later disclosed that she has a slight tear in her meniscus.
Ripley recently provided an update on her Twitter (X) account, announcing that she underwent knee surgery.
Ripley wrote, “Life update. After just under 14 years in wrestling and doing sports my entire life… It’s caught up to me. Surgery was never a first option for me, but it got to the point that it was needed… First one down… Hopefully no more… I’ve survived, now it’s time to start thriving again so I can get back to what I love to do! See you all down the road. 🤘🏼”
WWE held a Ladder Match last weekend at SummerSlam 2026 to crown a new Interim WWE Women’s Champion. Chelsea Green emerged victorious in the five-woman bout, becoming the new Interim Women’s Champion.
