WWE superstar Rhea Ripley has given fans another update after being out of action for over month due to injury.
The Judgement Day star – who is part of the villainous group on Raw alongside Damian Priest and Finn Balor after kicking out founder Edge – last wrestled on the June 6 episode of Raw, and she it was revealed she had been pulled this month’s Money In The Bank show.
Ripley was declared medically unable to compete on June 20 after revealing she needed dental surgery after a mid-match mistake in her last outing.
She later revealed she has been out of action with ‘brain’ and ‘teeth’ injuries, while WWE is yet to offer any concrete details on her status and recovery.
Over the weekend, she shared a selfie of herself without her trademark hair dye or makeup, instead showing fans a temporary heart monitor she has worn during her time away.
She simply captioned the picture: ‘I’m Iron Man.’
She didn’t expand on the reason for the device or how long she was wearing for it for, but fans were quick to respond and send messages of support amid her injury layoff.
One follower wrote: ‘The most important thing is your health. Wrestling will be there when you’re ready. Please take care of yourself and please keep us posted’.
‘Wishing you a speedy recovery not the same without you on the programming,’ tweeted a different fan, while another added: ‘Get well soon Rhea, we all miss you girl.’
Meanwhile, these more positive exchanges come after Rhea replied to a Twitter troll with a savage put-down after they decided to comment on her recent image overhaul and union with Finn Balor and Damian Priest in The Judgement Day.
Referencing her short black hair, the user replied: ‘You need to leave judgment day You were better when you’re on Monday night raw and your hair was a lot better how it was before long hair… And blonde you were better looking that way I know it’s probably best for business.’
Rhea wasn’t impressed, and replied with an egg emoji alongside a pretty scathing response.
She tweeted: ‘Bald ass mf telling me how to style my hair… Salty coz he lost the chance to style his own.’
Her injury sparked a reshuffle of the Money In The Bank card, with Bianca Belair instead defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Carmella on the same night Liv Morgan won the Money In The Bank briefcase and successfully cashed in against Ronda Rousey to win the SmackDown title.
WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
