Rhea Ripley was last seen with her title at WrestleMania XL when she defended it against Becky Lynch. Even though she retained the Women’s Championship at the biggest PLE of the year, that was the last time we saw her fighting for it in the squared circle. This is because a few days later, she was attacked backstage, which allegedly resulted in a severe injury to her arm.

When The Eradicator showed up at Monday Night Raw to deliver a promo, she revealed that she would be vacating her title until she was back in full health. Becky Lynch eventually picked up the championship while Ripley was still healing. But there appear to be more changes to her character than fans expected to see.

The Eradicator spotted in a brand-new look

The former Women’s Champion was known for her iconic role in WWE. One of her highlights was the short hair that she pulled off incredibly well. However, when we saw her return to Monday Night Raw to announce her injury, we saw Ripley’s hair grow in length. That look wasn’t just there as a teaser.

Recently, a fan page uploaded a picture of Rhea Ripley as she was spotted in a supermarket, standing next to a fan. In the image, we can see her in regular clothes and long hair. The cast on her arm is not visible, making it confusing to determine the timeline of the picture, but her last Raw promo look hints at the fact that it could be recent too.

The Monstrosity has rocked long hair in the past, but fans haven’t seen her in that look for a long time now. Thanks to the attack that Liv Morgan landed on the champion, we could see a completely flipped version of Rhea Ripley whenever she comes back to WWE.

Could Ripley’s different look be hinting at a face turn?

The Eradicator has been a heel for a long time and fans appreciate her this way. She doesn’t get the ‘boos’ like other heel characters do. However, considering the scenario that Ripley would enter in when she comes back, we may see a completely different version of her.

For starters, she was attacked by Liv Morgan, a heel, who sent her on an injury hiatus. Secondly, she has already lost the title, so the gimmick attached to it need not persist. Moreover, the big changes may drift her apart from the stable, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
