WWE announced yesterday that Rhea Ripley suffered a broken orbital bone.
The belief among those we've spoken with is that it likely happened in a headbutt spot when Rhea confronted Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan on the 10/21 Raw. Ripley did not appear on the 10/28 edition.
The angle to take her out of action on this past Tuesday's NXT episode was a late addition to the show, likely filmed there because it was Orlando and Ripley would not have to fly to do an angle.
We are told Ripley has been pulled from this weekend's WWE Raw taping in Saudi Arabia as well.
There is no word on a timeline for her return at this time.
