Rhea Ripley has been one of the key figures in the WWE women’s division for years now, and she punched her ticket to WrestleMania back in February when she won the women’s Elimination Chamber match. The Eradicator is currently set to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship next week, but for now she has apparently been hospitalized.
Ripley’s husband Buddy Matthews recently shared a photo on his Instagram story which shows Rhea laid up in a hospital bed. At this point it’s not clear why Rhea Ripley is receiving medical attention, but the picture can be seen below.
