Top WWE Star Faces Possible Survivor Series Absence Due to Injury

An injury to a prominent WWE star could impact the upcoming Survivor Series event. Scheduled for Saturday, November 29th, this year’s Survivor Series will take place at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Event Details

Survivor Series will feature both Men’s and Women’s WarGames matches, a tradition that has continued for the past three years. As of now, WWE has not confirmed any matches for the event.

This situation may change during WWE Monday Night Raw on November 10th when the company is expected to start promoting matches for the annual event.

Rhea Ripley’s Injury

One major wrestler whose participation is in doubt is Rhea Ripley. The WWE star suffered a broken nose during a tour in Japan in mid-October. As a result, she has been absent from WWE programming for several weeks.

In storyline, Ripley has been removed from action by Asuka and Kairi Sane, leaving fans uncertain about her return timeline. Wrestling Observer Radio commentator Dave Meltzer expressed concerns regarding Ripley’s availability for Survivor Series, stating, “Ripley was going to be there. I don’t know if she’s going to make it on time because she broke her nose.”

Possible Replacements and Match Participants

With Rhea Ripley potentially sidelined, Stephanie Vaquer may step into her place. Vaquer, the current Women’s World Champion on WWE Raw, has been collaborating with other stars like Nikki Bella against Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. She may join forces with additional competitors in the Women’s WarGames match, including:

• AJ Lee
• Alexa Bliss
• Charlotte Flair
• Possibly Nikki Bella

On the opposing side, Nia Jax, Lash Legend, Roxanne Perez, and Raquel Rodriguez are expected to compete.

Rhea Ripley’s Evolution

Rhea Ripley’s character has evolved significantly in recent years. She presents herself as one of the strongest female wrestlers, bolstered by confidence that resonates with fans. In a candid interview, Ripley reflected on her journey, emphasizing her growth in both confidence and self-acceptance.

She noted, “I don’t care what people think about me anymore because this Rhea Ripley, she’s dead to the world.” This transformation marks a significant milestone in her career, showcasing her resilience and strength.

As the Survivor Series date approaches, fans will eagerly await updates on Rhea Ripley’s condition and the overall lineup for the event.
