Right conclusion? That's ripping! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rending

'ripping' is the definition.
(I know that ripping can be written as rending)

'right conclusion?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'conclusion?' becomes 'ending' ('ending' can be a synonym of 'conclusion').
'r'+'ending'='RENDING'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for rending that I've seen before include "Ripping" , "Tearing" .)
