Backstage WWE Update On Rhea Ripley's Main Roster Move

While Damian Priest has now made his new home on WWE’s red brand, the future of Rhea Ripley is still not set in stone.

Both Priest and Ripley were due to move to the main roster earlier in the year, before those call-ups were ultimately delayed because, well, because plans change, pal. With the two having appeared at Sunday’s Royal Rumble PPV, though, those Rumble outings were to serve as the formal main roster debuts of the Archer of Infamy and the Nightmare.

Many had expected to see Rhea Ripley turn up on Raw last night, although the young powerhouse was absent from this week’s red brand outing.

In a new report from PWInsider, WWE officials have yet to decide whether to put Ripley on Raw or SmackDown. And much like she didn’t appear on this week’s Raw, this same report also claims that the former NXT Women’s Champion is currently not scheduled for Friday’s SmackDown episode.

Wherever Rhea Ripley does turn up, that brand will have a huge asset on their hands, with Ripley set to be a major WWE player for years to come.
