Rhea Ripley was viciously assaulted by Raquel Rodriguez and the reigning Women's World Champion Liv Morgan on NXT on Tuesday. As a result, Rhea Ripley suffered a fractured right orbital socket and was ruled out indefinitely.

WWE confirmed the news, but there is fear that the injury is legitimate and could rule her out for a significant amount of time.

With Rhea Ripley now out, it remains to be seen whether WWE will bring back one or more of its top stars to replace her. In this article, we look at four likely replacements for Rhea Ripley.

#4. Charlotte Flair could replace Rhea Ripley

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The Queen has been out since December 2023 with serious injuries to her knee. She is expected to make a full recovery, so she should be back soon.

With Mami out indefinitely, Charlotte Flair could have a character change and have a face turn, coming back to dethrone Liv Morgan.

In addition, she could team up with Rhea Ripley once the latter is back to take on Morgan and The Judgment Day's newest addition, Raquel Rodriguez.

#3. Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch left WWE on May 27 after failing to re-claim the Women's World Championship from Liv Morgan.

Her contract expired, but reports suggest that she is close to signing a new deal with the Stamford-based company. On this occasion, she would go after Liv, aiming to dethrone her and become world champion again.

Becky has unfinished business with Morgan, but with Raquel Rodriguez as the latter's Enforcer, she will need another female star to step up and help her.

#2. Trish Stratus

The iconic Trish Stratus could be back for one final time and attempt to become Women's World Champion for another time.

This time, her last match could be against Liv Morgan, which would take place at the Survivor Series on November 30.

This booking would make sense for WWE, as the Survivor Series will take place in her home country of Canada and the city of Vancouver.

Thus, in her final match in the business, she would receive a standing ovation from the Canadian audience, no matter the result.

#1. Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss has been out for almost two years due to her maternity leave. Her last time with WWE was back at the Royal Rumble in January 2023.

After taking time off for the birth of her child, she has been preparing for her comeback, teasing a WWE return for months now. With Rhea Ripley now out, Alexa Bliss could return and go after Liv Morgan, aiming to dethrone her.

At the same time, she could be linked to The Wyatt Sicks and Uncle Howdy, but whether the faction would target her would be determined by whether she would come back as a face or a heel.

That said, Friday Night on SmackDown and Monday Night on RAW could shed more light on WWE's plans for Ripley's replacement and how much time it is set to miss.
