Rhea Ripley has shone as one of the brightest stars in the history of WWE. With her top-notch performances and spine-chilling persona, it took her no time to captivate the audience. An active member of the company as a solo performer as well as along with her faction, her appearances have drastically reduced.
The WWE Universe received a major setback from ‘The Mami’ when she went missing from the WWE Money In The Bank cards. It has been over two months since the news of her injury surfaced on the internet.

However, further details of the injury were not disclosed by the management officially. This leads the fans to wonder if Rhea Ripley is actually injured. Following are some reasons that explain why The Mami hasn’t been in a massive feud over the past few weeks:
Rhea Ripley is legitimately injured
The most obvious yet doubtful reason for Rhea Ripley staying away from in-ring action is a legitimate injury. Over the past few months, Rhea has been a victim of multiple injuries which has probably sidelined her. WWE hasn’t spoken anything on Rhea’s injury but fans are now under the belief that she is a victim of an injury.
Declaring Rhea Ripley unfit to battle would also mean that The Mami would have to relinquish her title. This proves to be a satisfactory reason for her to not get in the ring for grave action. However, in case this speculation is true, fans wish a quick recovery for the WWE Women’s Champion.
Mami has competed on live TV but the matches have been short and her opponents hardly get in any offense.
The RAW division lacks women contenders for Rhea Ripley’s title
Looking at the current status of WWE, Rhea Ripley is currently signed in to the red brand of the Stamford based promotion. There are hardly any women who can be put in an angle with The Eradicator. All the top women in the division have an ongoing storyline and there is no way that Rhea can blend into the same.

This leaves Rhea left in a huge bag of nothing. WWE too seemed to have no alternate way to put the story of the WWE Women’s Championship to a halt other than her injury. However, she has been in the ring for meager matches which seem quite vague in the eyes of the viewers.
WWE might be planning a massive storyline for Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio
Ever since Dominik Mysterio was inducted into The Judgment Day, fans have been excited to watch him share the ring with Rhea Ripley. To make matters more interesting, the two stars have joined hands and leave no stone unturned to tease the audience. With Buddy Matthews’ involvement in the story, there is a possibility of a great move that the WWE creative has in mind.

Signing Buddy Matthews to WWE would not only mean more action but would also invite a lot of on-screen arguments between the real-life couple. And what else is the WWE Universe hungry for? The trio has often been dragged into each other’s promotion and this move by WWE may prove to be a banger.
With all being said, Mami is set to defend her title very soon. A week from Saturday, at the Payback PLE, Ripley will be defending her title against Raquel Rodriguez.
