After more than three months on the shelf due to injury, Rhea Ripley is set to return to the ring at SummerSlam to challenge Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship. As the build toward "The Biggest Party of the Summer" continues, WWE broadcast personality Jackie Redmond posted a video on X showing the results of an informal poll she conducted, gauging which members of the roster were on "Team Rhea" or "Team Liv." WWE stars like Otis threw their support behind Morgan, while Dominik Mysterio predictably backed Ripley. The video mainly features playful banter between talent. At the end, Redmond catches up with Ripley herself, and asks her if Jey Uso has her number, referencing recent story developments from "WWE Raw." Ripley responds with a simple "Yeet" before walking away.

Ripley's return match at SummerSlam is expected to be her first since sustaining a legitimate arm injury suffered at the hands of Morgan during a backstage brawl segment on the April 8 "Raw." Ripley's medical clearance to compete is not expected to come much earlier than the advertised match. In the meantime, WWE has been building drama with the love triangle storyline between Ripley, Morgan, and Mysterio, with Uso recently joining the mix.
