Rhea Ripley Reveals She Has A Slight Tear In Her Meniscus
Rhea Ripley gives an update on her injury.
Appearing at Power Slap on July 10 and speaking to Nina Drama, Ripley revealed the nature of her current injury.
“I hurt my knee. I got a slight tear in my meniscus. It’s just healing. It’s getting there. It’s getting stronger. I just can’t bend it very well. It’s gotta bend, guys,” she said with a laugh.
Asked about her recovery timeline, Ripley replied, “I don’t know. I tore it in a really weird spot. It’s kind of a little up in the air with how fast my body recovers. I’ve been out just over a month now. It feels better and starts to throb. I can’t get up or bend down really slow or kind of move side to side while crouching. We’ll see how it goes.”
Damn, that sucks for Rhea 🥲
