Did Rhea Ripley actually get injured at WWE SummerSlam?

A large portion of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan's Women's World Championship match at WWE SummerSlam was centered around Rhea's shoulder potentially being injured. Fans wonder if the former champion is really hurt.

Rhea Ripley dislocated her shoulder during her match against Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam 2024. While her opponent took considerable advantage of the mishap, it was Dominik Mysterio who caused the champion to retain the Women's World Championship in Cleveland.

For the fans wondering if Mami is seriously injured and will require rehab for the arm, it's likely not the case. WWE Superstars don't usually cause harm to their opponent in case of a real-life injury, yet Liv continued to target the dislocated shoulder. To further clarify the kayfabe nature, Ripley popped her shoulder back into its socket to instantly recover.

While the arm is likely fine in real life, there is a high chance the promotion will use the injury to keep the rivals from getting into a physical battle anytime soon. The story between them seems far from over.
