DEVELOPING STORY: Injury update on Rhea Ripley

[Chris]

Figured i'd look it up and here is what we have

19 matches total this year
1 singles match on RAW
1 tag match on RAW
4 singles matches on PLE's
1 mixed tag match on PLE's
4 dark matches
8 house show matches

So it's even worse when you don't even limit it to singles matches but Raw matches in general, crazy even with the injury factored in

 

[Cwalker]

One of the biggest draws on the show, never worked on the show. Crazy.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

rhea would rock the shit out of a face mask

 

[Dale]

And i'm seeing people on Twitter already fantasy booking the Rumble return (even though that would be way too far away) pop and winning the title at Mania. Like I don't even expect people to realise how bad her activity is without looking it up because I knew it was bad but I didn't realise it was that bad. I'm gonna look back further soon and see how active she was during her title reign

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah you never realize stats until you see them lol. Can’t believe she’s only worked 19 matches.

 

[Sabretooth]

And no way they just beat Rhea with baseball bats

These were just from when she became champion but she actually had more TV / PLE activity than I remembered for 2023. It looks way better when you look at like that than looking at the matches themselves

 

[Dale]

She really does get the weirdest injuries between this and kneeing herself in the head​

 

[Sabretooth]

I wouldn’t have thought Rhea would lose that exchange

 

[Cwalker]

Her shoulder injury was on herself too.

Rhea is Rhea’s worst enemy

 

[Comrade Khan]

I swear no one has learned from Shibata to stop doing dumbass headbutt spots. And I include every worker under the sun in this statement

 

[Dale]

Just rewatched the segment to try get a clue which part did it but it's hard to tell. She throws a pretty unprotected headbutt into Raquels shoulder area, takes a codebreaker from Liv and then the headbutt shown in the tweet but the camera angle seems to hide that impact so can't make a call on that.
