That’s an important change. A returning wrestler is a moment that can lead to a new career path. It can be a new character, a fresh storyline, or even a different way of presenting a star. Some of these things might be a change that has been all but set before the return and that was the case this week, as a major return took place and an internal change has taken place.

The ending of this week’s Monday Night Raw saw the return of Rhea Ripley after almost three months away due to a shoulder injury. Ripley appeared and chased off Liv Morgan before confronting Dominik Mysterio. According to PWInsider.com, Ripley is officially listed as a babyface on the internal WWE roster while the rest of her Judgment Day teammates are still listed as heels. There is no word on when Ripley will be able to return to the ring.
This was big. Check out Ripley’s return and what else she can do:

Opinion: I think we can file this one in the obvious category, as Ripley has been one of the biggest and most popular names in WWE for a very long time now. She has been waiting on the official trigger pulling moment to say it’s ok for the fans to accept her, which seems to be what we saw here. Ripley being back is a huge deal and having her officially being a heroine is long overdue.
