Will Rhea Ripley be part of Survivor Series: WarGames 2024? What we know so far

Rhea Ripley has been absent from television since Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked her on last week's episode of NXT. Rhea's hiatus from WWE has also paused the feud between her and Liv, as IYO Sky has emerged as the new challenger for the Women's World Championship.

The next WWE premium live event is Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. The show is scheduled to air live on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A pertinent question among fans is whether Rhea Ripley will participate in Survivor Series this year.

This speculation arises because the Eradicator appears on the official poster for Survivor Series 2024. However, despite being featured, she is still very likely to miss the event. This is because the Survivor Series poster was released well before her injury. Furthermore, Rhea's absence is not just part of a storyline and she actually suffered a real-life injury during an episode of Monday Night RAW.

This apparently confirms that, despite the advertisement, the former Judgment Day member will miss the upcoming PLE. It is almost inconceivable for Rhea to recover from her injury in time to participate at Survivor Series.

As of now, fans are predicting that Rhea Ripley will make her return at Royal Rumble 2025. Here, Mami could win the women's traditional Rumble match and eventually challenge Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 41.

Rhea Ripley could return on a major show before Royal Rumble 2025

Besides making a startling return at next year's Royal Rumble premium live event, the Eradicator could also return on the debut episode of RAW on Netflix. The red brand is moving to Netflix in January 2025, making it a seismic event for the company.

Additionally, big names like The Rock, John Cena, and Roman Reigns are anticipated to be part of the show. With all this in place, Rhea's return on Netflix's debut episode of RAW would undoubtedly be an exciting scenario if she recovers in time.

However, one major disadvantage if WWE were to bring Rhea Ripley back on Netflix is that it may not give her return the full spotlight it deserves.

While the crowd would surely give her a thunderous reaction, her return could be overshadowed by major names like John Cena, Roman Reigns, and others.

It's also unlikely that fans will continue buzzing about Mami's return in the aftermath of RAW among such high-profile names. For this reason, WWE might prefer another show for her comeback.

Still, Rhea Ripley's return on RAW's Netflix debut would be an exciting decision if she recovers on time.
