After being away from the squared circle for months, Rhea Ripley announced that she had undergone surgery for a torn meniscus. She was later stripped of the WWE Women’s Championship. As of this writing, it’s unclear when she will lace up her wrestling boots again.

Yesterday, on Instagram, Rhea Ripley shared some photos of herself at the gym. Interestingly, she was not seen in a knee brace in the images. Some eagle-eyed fans also noticed that Ripley had a new tattoo on her chest in a mirror selfie.

You can view the tattoo in the X post below.

WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green calls Rhea Ripley one of the best wrestlers in the world

After Rhea Ripley was medically not cleared to compete, WWE booked a Ladder Match to crown the Interim Women’s Champion at SummerSlam 2026. Chelsea Green bested top stars like Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill to win the gold in Minneapolis. Recently, Green became the sole Women’s Champion on SmackDown.

In a recent interview on Insight, The Hot Mess showered praise on Mami’s in-ring skills. She also expressed her desire to feud with the former Judgment Day member on WWE TV.

“I mean, I have such amazing chemistry with Rhea. I think she’s one of the best wrestlers in the entire world. She’s so talented. She’s so giving. She’s so generous in the ring. I would love to feud with her, but we don’t know. We don’t know what her timeline is. We don’t know how long that’s gonna last. Someone knows. I’m sure Rhea knows. So, like I do with everything. I’m just trying to take it week by week. I’m trying to take what they give me, make it the best I can make it on my days off. Book myself doing other things, media, taking it places, doing collabs with the Raptors, like just anything that I can do to get eyes on it, that’s my job right now, and of course we all want to be fighting champions. So I have absolutely continued to pitch,” Green said. [H/T: chrisvanvliet.com]
