Potential hint Rhea Ripley could be returning to WWE soon

There has been an update on Rhea Ripley following this week's episode of WWE RAW. The Judgment Day member relinquished the Women's World Championship earlier this year and has been off of WWE television for months.

Liv Morgan is the reigning Women's World Champion and successfully defended the title this past Monday night against Zelina Vega. The 30-year-old has been flirting with Dominik Mysterio during The Eradicator's hiatus and appears to be trying to steal him away from Ripley. WWE fans have been waiting for Ripley to return and there may have been a hint today that it could be happening soon.

The promotion's official website has updated Rhea Ripley's render today. The change could illustrate that WWE is getting ready for the 27-year-old's return from injury.

The company also posted an interesting video on Instagram ahead of this past Monday's episode of RAW. Dominik Mysterio walked by a poster of Ripley on a production truck and got visibly frustrated.

Bill Apter believes Rhea Ripley will leave The Judgment Day upon returning to WWE

Wrestling veteran Bill Apter has predicted that Rhea Ripley is going to pair with Damian Priest when she returns to television.

Damian Priest will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins this Saturday at WWE Money in the Bank. If Priest loses the match, he will also be forced to leave The Judgment Day. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted show, Apter predicted Priest would lose the title, leave The Judgment Day, and start a new entity with Ripley:

"What I think is gonna happen is that she is gonna pair with Damian Priest, who I think might lose the world championship to Seth 'Freakin' Rollins at Money in the Bank, and then he is forced to break away from Judgment Day. And I think Rhea is gonna come back, be all PO'd about the whole thing with Liv Morgan infiltrating the Judgment Day, and it's gonna be she and Damian Priest as their own kind of separate entity then, feuding against Liv Morgan and Dominik, Finn Balor. That's what I think is gonna happen." [18:50 onwards]

Liv Morgan dedicated her victory over Zelina Vega on RAW, and all of her future victories to Dominik Mysterio. It will be fascinating to see how Rhea Ripley gets her revenge on the Women's World Champion when she is cleared to return to action.
