Rhea Ripley has shared an update on her nose injury.
Former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley sustained a broken nose during WWE’s Japan tour last month. She was absent for a few weeks before making her return on the November 10, 2025, episode of WWE RAW. However, she wore a protective facemask, which suggested her nose hadn’t fully healed.
Ripley has joined IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and AJ Lee to take on Nia Jax, Lash Legend, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Becky Lynch inside WarGames at Survivor Series this Saturday.
Ahead of the big match, Rhea Ripley appeared on the recent edition of Raw Recap and confirmed that she’ll wear the facemask inside WarGames as her nose hasn’t fully healed. Ripley also said she’d customize it to create a unique look at Survivor Series.
“I will have to wear it during this WarGames match, and I will probably have it on the entire time unless someone takes it off forcefully. My nose is somewhat healed, but it’s not fully healed, so I will be wearing [the mask]. But I will also be doing it up, just like I did last year, so I can’t wait to show everyone exactly what my mask looks like.”
CM Punk Named Rhea Ripley As One Of The Two Best Wrestlers In WWE
Appearing on a recent episode of WWE Vlog, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk named IYO Sky and Rhea Ripley as the two best wrestlers in WWE right now.
“IYO SKY is consistently, I think, the best wrestler that we have,” CM Punk said. “Rhea is probably a close second, but you talk about a superstar. And I don’t think it’s a secret that I was one of Rhea’s favorites when she was a kid growing up, and it’s kind of no different than the fan that says I’m sober because of you, or I waited 19 years to see you. Like, I just want to give back because I’m so full of gratitude. Those two are the future.”
