Should WWE fire Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley because of reoccurring injury? Wrestling veteran answers
Wrestling veteran Konnan recently addressed whether WWE should release Rhea Ripley due to her having a reoccurring knee injury.
The Eradicator has been at the top of the women's division in the Stamford-based company over the past few months. She is currently the Women's World Champion. However, Ripley recently opened up about suffering a reoccurring injury, revealing that her knee "always pops out" in matches.
During a recent episode of Keepin' It 100, a fan asked if WWE should release Ripley due to her injury.
"You don't release her from her deal. She goes and she gets surgery. Come on," Konnan answered. [1:00 - 1:04]

WWE veteran Natalya recently praised Rhea Ripley
Last month, Rhea Ripley squashed Natalya in a SmackDown Women's Championship bout at Night of Champions. The two were scheduled to square off again on Monday Night RAW last week. However, The Eradicator brutally destroyed the 41-year-old veteran before the bout started. Ripley and Natalya will reportedly clash again next week on RAW in a "career-defining title rematch."
Despite this, Natalya recently praised Ripley in an exclusive with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, dubbing her a "generational talent."
"It's funny because I lost so much sleep over that match. And honestly, it had a profound impact on me because when I was first told I was gonna be at Night of Champions facing off against Rhea Ripley, it was like a dream match because Rhea Ripley is like a generational talent," said Natalya.
