WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Rhea Ripley's unfortunate injury
Wrestling legend Teddy Long recently shared his thoughts on Rhea Ripley's untimely injury. The RAW star was in the middle of an impressive reign as Women's World Champion that was forced to end at 380 days.
Ripley won the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble Match, despite being the first entrant. She went on to defeat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 to become champion. Ripley held the title for a full calendar year before knocking off another member of The Four Horsewomen Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL earlier this month. She appeared to be starting a rivalry with Liv Morgan when the injury took place.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, former WWE authority figure Teddy Long discussed the injury to the former champion. Long noted that the injury was unfortunate because of how hard Ripley works but also added that getting hurt was part of the job.
"Yeah, it was [unfortunate], man, especially for her, man, because she's an outstanding talent. That girl works her b*tt off, man. I mean, she works her b*tt off. She deserves everything she's got because she worked hard for it. But things happen in the wrestling business, you know what I mean?," he said. [From 00:46 - 01:02]
