WWE Star Set For First Raw TV Match In 5 Months
Which WWE wrestler is about to return to Raw in-ring action for the first time since June?
Rhea Ripley will make her Monday Night Raw in-ring return this coming week.
Despite most definitely making her presence known on the red show over the last few months alongside her fellow Judgement Day pals, the Australian sensation hasn't actually competed in a Raw match since June.
Said contest saw The Nightmare take on Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, and Liv Morgan on June 6, a match that led to Ripley becoming the number #1 contender to Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair. After suffering a brain/teeth injury, however, Ripley was forced to step away from in-ring competition for a spell, leading to Carmella eventually taking on The EST of WWE at Money in the Bank 2022 instead.
But now, after finally getting back into the squared-circle last month at a WWE live event and battling against Roxanne Perez on the October 18 edition of NXT, the former Raw Women's Champion will wrestle her first televised Raw contest in five months on this week's edition of the red show.
Taking on Asuka in a WarGames Advantage Match, Ripley will be looking to score her team of Damage CTRL (Bayley, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai) and Nikki Cross the entrance order advantage at the upcoming PLE. Said unit will collide with Team Belair (Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim and one more unannounced member) inside of the iconic steel structure at November 26's Survivor Series War Games event.
