Rhea Ripley WWE update: As WWE continues its European Tour with upcoming shows in Germany and London, fans have noticed the absence of Cathy Kelley, leading to concern about why she has been missing from recent events. Kelley has confirmed that she is dealing with illness at home, which has affected her participation in the tour.
Cathy Kelley Addresses Her Health and Absence
Over the past few weeks, questions have circulated among WWE followers about Cathy Kelley’s absence from Monday Night RAW, where she was previously seen alongside her ex, Rhea Ripley. While Ripley is currently working with her new partner, Iyo Sky, Cathy Kelley revealed through a TikTok update that she has been unwell, suffering from blocked sinuses and requiring rest at home rather than traveling with the WWE team.
Describing her situation, Kelley shared how her illness has impacted her daily routine, even mentioning her efforts to recover with the help of home remedies like ginger shots. She made her condition clear in her own words:
“One of the really unfortunate side effects all the time is that you’re very susceptible to getting sick—and that’s what’s going on right now,” Kelley shared. “Since I’m an old, sick girl, I decided to take care of myself by ordering some Goop.”
Throughout her video, Cathy Kelley emphasized that her primary focus at the moment is to nourish her body and regain the strength needed to return to her professional duties.
What to Expect from the Upcoming WWE Events in Europe
Despite the subdued mood regarding Kelley’s absence, WWE remains committed to pressing ahead with its European schedule. RAW is set to take place in Dusseldorf, Germany, while SmackDown will arrive in London in the coming week. Although fans will not see Cathy Kelley on these broadcasts, Rhea Ripley will be featured, celebrating alongside Iyo Sky. The tag team recently captured the Women’s Tag Team Championships from Asuka and Kairi Sane, giving extra excitement for those attending the shows in Europe.
New titles mean new targets, and Ripley and Sky are expected to identify their next challengers during the live events. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has also announced that the new women’s champions will open tomorrow night’s episode, setting up an important start for fans in Germany.
The Impact of Kelley’s Absence and What’s Next
Cathy Kelley’s illness comes at a time when WWE is ramping up international engagement, making her absence more noticeable amid major events and shifting storylines. Her recovery and eventual return will be closely watched by fans eager for updates and her signature interviews. In the meantime, Rhea Ripley, Adam Pearce, and other WWE stars continue to drive the company’s European efforts, ensuring the excitement remains high even as challenges arise.
