Since debuting on the main roster of the WWE, Rhea Ripley has been one of the mainstay features on WWE Raw television programming. Over her three years in the WWE, she’s established herself to be one of the trusted shoulders who will carry the WWE women’s division on her shoulders for years to follow. The long tenure was further solidified after WWE re-signed her to a new contract that will last until 2029.
For the time being, WWE Universe is deprived of seeing their favorite women’s superstar on Raw programming and chances are relatively less that she will be back on the scene in 2024. However, reports claim that Rhea Ripley should be back onboard before WWE rolls with the biggest event of the year, next April.
