Rhea Ripley has been a dominant force on WWE television. She not only entertained the fans with her impressive moves inside the squared circle but also held the The Judgment Day strongly together. However, The Eradicator is currently only on hiatus from WWE television.
Previously, in April 2024, Liv Morgan launched a surprise attack on Rhea Ripley backstage. During this, Ripley suffered a legitimate injury to her right arm. This led to Rhea taking a break from WWE television. As a result, she was forced to vacate the Women’s World Championship.
The Eradicator hasn’t made an appearance on WWE since then. Meanwhile, several changes have taken place in her absence. In fact, The Judgement Day also seems to be falling apart. Moreover, as time passes, the chances of Ripley making her return to WWE increase.
With that, fans are eagerly waiting to see what will happen when the former Women’s World Champion finally makes her return to the Stamford-based promotion. It can very well be stated that Ripley will have some rivals and some friends by her side. Meanwhile, here’s a detailed look at that.
WWE superstars who might go against Rhea Ripley
As mentioned earlier, a few WWE Superstars might go against Rhea Ripley upon her return to WWE. The first one might be Dominik Mysterio. Previously, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley were involved in a romantic storyline on WWE television. However, since Mami went on a hiatus, Mysterio has been spotted with Liv Morgan.
Previously, a video from WWE backstage went viral, which showcased Morgan and Mysterio coming out of the same room. Following that, Liv Morgan faced Becky Lynch at WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2024 for the Women’s World Championship. However, accidental interference from Dominik led to Morgan defeating Lynch to win the title.
Thereafter, once again, Morgan defeated Lynch in a title rematch after another accidental interference from Dominik. While it seemed Dominik appeared to help Becky, that did not happen. However, whether Mysterio’s interference was accidental or intentional is yet to be revealed.

On the other hand, something else recently caught the attention of the fans. After Morgan’s second successful title defense against Becky, she went ahead and kissed Dominik on WWE television. Meanwhile, it looked like Morgan initiated the kiss, and Mysterio had no role to play in it.
With that, Dominik’s true motives remain unknown. Meanwhile, once Rhea returns, it might very well happen that Mysterio might turn on Mami to reveal his true motives and side with Morgan. Also, another superstar who might go against The Eradicator is Finn Balor.

Previously, another video went viral, which showcased Balor and Morgan getting out of the same car. Thus, Balor might also side with Morgan, thus betraying his stablemate. However, only time will tell how Balor and Mysterio will react upon Ripley’s return.
WWE Superstars who might stand in Rhea Ripley’s support
While a few WWE superstars might turn against Rhea upon her return, there might also be a few superstars who will stand in her support. The first one who will stand in Rhea’s support might be Damian Priest. Over the years, fans have seen a strong and lovable bond between Damian and Ripley.
In fact, Priest was not happy with Mysterio after his interference led to Morgan winning the title at King and Queen of the Ring PLE. With that, if Rhea returns and Dominik betrays her, Priest might stand beside his stablemate to help her go against Morgan and Mysterio.

On the other hand, another superstar who might side with Rhea might be Jey Uso. Not to mention, previously, WWE teased a romantic angle between Ripley and Uso. Jey was seen flirting with Rhea while feuding with the rest of The Judgment Day.
Thus, if Rhea’s previous onscreen partner, Dominik, goes against her, Jey might come and stand beside Ripley. Also, it might eventually lead to a romantic storyline between Jey and Rhea.
In addition to all that, if Jey sides with Rhea, fans will look forward to a mixed tag team match between Jey and Rhea vs. Dominik and Liv. With that, it remains to be seen how things will unfold upon Ripley’s return to the largest wrestling promotion in the world. Till then, her beloved fans will look forward to updates on her highly anticipated return.
