Rhea Ripley has had knee surgery for a meniscus tear, with WWE hoping for her return by the Royal Rumble. Interim title implications are also being discussed.

Rhea Ripley has recently undergone surgery for a meniscus tear, prompting WWE to adjust its plans regarding the women's title. The organization is optimistic about her return in time for the Royal Rumble.

Due to Ripley's injury, WWE scheduled a ladder match at SummerSlam to determine an interim title holder. Reports suggest that the interim designation for Chelsea Green's title reign may be reconsidered following Ripley's surgery.

Ripley has not competed since WWE's European summer tour, with her last match occurring on June 3 in Lisbon, Portugal. She teamed with Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton to secure a victory over Fatal Influence. Her final appearance on WWE programming was a win against Jade Cargill at Clash in Italy on May 31, 2026.
