Rhea Ripley has consistently proven herself to be an exceptional performer. Her recent run as WWE Women's Champion alongside the faction The Judgement Day has been a memorable experience for WWE fans. Her current "MAMI" gimmick is also immensely popular among the audience.

During the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw, Rhea Ripley appeared alongside her Latino Heat Dominik Mysterio to comfort Elimination Chamber 2024 winner and her WrestleMania 40 opponent, Becky Lynch. 

Fans expressed concern about Rhea Ripley's health and speculated that she might be injured, as she appeared in the segment wearing a hand brace on one of her hands.

WWE fans are now wondering if Rhea Ripley has a legitimate injury and, if so, how serious it is. They are also questioning whether she will miss her WrestleMania 40 match against Becky Lynch.

Neither WWE nor the Judgement Day star has commented on her hand injury. During the Raw episode, Becky and Rhea engaged in a fistfight after The Man brutally knocked out Dominik Mysterio with a vicious punch.

It seems that Rhea Ripley's hand injury is not severe enough to cause the cancellation of matches at WrestleMania 40.
