WWE wrestlers Rhea Ripley and Matt Cardona provide injury updates

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley has provided an update regarding her recovery from a meniscus tear. After undergoing surgery to repair the injury, which resulted in her being stripped of the WWE Women's Championship, Ripley has begun her rehabilitation process. She has expressed that spending time with her dogs has aided her recovery during this hiatus. While her return date is not officially confirmed, she is potentially targeting WrestlePalooza: Australia.

Separately, Matt Cardona has addressed his status following a torn tricep injury sustained in September 2026. Cardona clarified his involvement in the 2008 Royal Rumble, noting he participated as a manager for Edge, and asserted that he remains an active wrestler despite his current sidelined status. Cardona also humorously reached out to Danhausen via social media, requesting assistance to ‘uncurse’ his injury to expedite his return to action.
