Rhea Ripley returns to in-ring action at live event for the first time since June

[Chris]

Rhea Ripley wrestled her first match in over four months this weekend.

The Judgment Day member returned to action at a WWE house show in Sioux City, Iowa on Saturday. She teamed with Damian Priest and lost a tag team match against Dolph Ziggler and Nikki ASH.

Ripley had not wrestled since June 6 when she won a fatal four-way match on Raw to earn a title shot. After being removed from the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Ripley would reveal that she was suffering from "brain/dental injuries" when replying to a fan on Instagram.

“Brain/teeth. Can't see a brain injury. Stop being incompetent and reaching at nothing,” Ripley responded to someone who said she didn't look injured.

Our own Dave Meltzer addressed Ripley's status during the June 23 edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

"Her teeth were knocked loose in a match and she had braces put in. The braces were evident on her the last time she was on TV. But the other thing must have been...when she says her brain, that usually means a concussion," he said.

"The two things that WWE doesn't like to talk about are COVID and concussions," he continued.

"She didn't quite use the word 'concussion' but she had a brain injury is what she said."
