WWE.com statement on Rhea Ripley's injury

WWE posted a picture of the injury on social media.

Ripley has been involved in a long-running feud with Liv Morgan over the WWE Women's World Championship, which Morgan currently holds. Morgan was injured by Ripley, but returned the favor after WrestleMania that year. Morgan injured Ripley's shoulder, forcing her to forfeit the World Championship. Morgan then won the title and has held it ever since.

Morgan and Ripley were fighting for the championship at the Bad Blood PLE and that's when Raquel Rodriguez interfered to cost Ripley the match and join Morgan and the new Judgment Day faction.

This weekend at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Morgan will face WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax for the first-ever Crown Jewel Championship.
