Rhea Ripley responds to Kevin Nash's stem cell treatment suggestion
WWE wrestler Rhea Ripley has responded to suggestions regarding her injury recovery, stating she was unaware of a proposal for specialized medical treatment. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently suggested that the company should fund stem cell treatment for Ripley at the BioXcellerator clinic in Medellín, Colombia, citing his own positive experience with the procedure for back issues.
Ripley is currently recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus following a knee injury. While WWE aims for her to return by the Royal Rumble, current projections suggest she may be sidelined for approximately six months.
The injury has impacted the SmackDown Women’s Championship landscape. Following Ripley’s injury, Chelsea Green was named Interim Champion; however, Green has also sustained an injury involving a broken orbital bone, leaving the division in a state of uncertainty regarding upcoming programming.
