John Morrison Reportedly Injured On RAW

John Morrison reportedly suffered a knee injury during Monday’s WWE RAW.

Morrison lost a non-title singles match to new WWE United States Champion Riddle on Monday night. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Morrison was injured during the match when he did a twisting dive at one point. He caught his leg in the ropes and landed with the knee hitting the floor.

Morrison was checked on by the referee but continued the match while limping. They finished the match, without Riddle working on the knee, and Riddle ended up winning with the Bro Derek.

Morrison could be seen limping and walking slower than usual later in the show when he had to come back out with WWE Champion The Miz.

There’s no word on the severity of the injury or if Morrison will miss any ring time.

Rhea Ripley Coming Soon To WWE RAW

Rhea Ripley is headed to the WWE RAW brand.

There had been speculation on Ripley possibly going to RAW or SmackDown after her official call-up from WWE NXT was considered to be at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in late January. Now WWE has confirmed that the former NXT Women’s Champion is headed to Monday nights.

As seen below, a “coming soon” vignette for Ripley aired during last night’s post-Elimination Chamber edition of RAW.

Ripley was the #14 entrant in the 30-Woman Rumble Match last month, and was the last elimination, tossed out by winner Bianca Belair. She lasted 39:06 and eliminated Toni Storm, Santana Garrett, Dana Brooke, Dakota Kai, Mandy Rose, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair, with Belair’s help. Ripley’s last NXT TV match came on January 6 at the New Year’s Evil special, when she lost to Raquel Gonzalez in the Last Woman Standing match.

There is no word yet on when Ripley will make her official RAW debut.
