WWE replaces Rhea Ripley on Night of Champions advertising

Summary

WWE has altered its Night of Champions promotional material to exclude Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, who was recently evaluated for an injury. The new advertising features Tiffany Stratton in place of Ripley. The change comes after Ripley did not appear on WWE SmackDown, raising questions about her participation in the upcoming event. Currently, no official match has been announced for Stratton on Night of Champions, but the shift suggests she might defend her title. Charlotte Flair remains a contender in the Queen of the Ring tournament, scheduled to compete in a match that could influence title opportunities at SummerSlam.
