Having been out of action for the past several weeks, WWE's Rhea Ripley has revealed that she's currently wearing a heart monitor.

Taking to Twitter, the Nightmare took a selfie with said monitor as she donned herself Iron Man.

Ripley was originally set to challenge for Bianca Belair's Raw Women's Championship at last weekend's Money in the Bank premium live event, with the E.S.T. revealing on the 20 June episode of WWE's red brand that Rhea was not medically cleared to compete - and in her place, it ended up as Carmella facing Belair at MITB.

In terms of the injury that's keeping Ripley on the sidelines right now, the Australian previously stated on Instagram how it's a "brain/teeth" issue that she's dealing with. While it's not been confirmed by the Judgment Day powerhouse, many are speculating that this relates back to the dental surgery Rhea required after accidentally kneeing herself in the face at the Hell in the Cell event at the start of June.

It's not known how long Rhea Ripley will be out of action for, but here's hoping the hugely talented 25-year-old is back in in-ring competition sooner rather than later.
