A major Women’s World Championship bout has been set for next week’s episode of WWE Raw, and it will come with a violent stipulation.
Following a six-woman tag team loss earlier in the night, Raquel Rodriguez demanded another opportunity at Stephanie Vaquer during a backstage interview. Vaquer later sought out Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and confirmed she wanted the rematch as well. Pearce made the contest official for next week’s Raw, revealing it will be contested as a Philadelphia Street Fight.
The rivalry between Rodriguez and Vaquer dates back to earlier this month, when Vaquer successfully defended the Women’s World Championship against both Rodriguez and Nikki Bella in a triple threat match. The following week, Rodriguez ambushed the champion from behind, targeting Vaquer’s previously injured knee and repeatedly slamming it into the mat. Rodriguez then used Vaquer’s own title belt as a weapon, continuing the assault on the leg.
Vaquer made her in-ring return at Saturday Night’s Main Event this past weekend, where she intervened in the Women’s Tag Team Championship match after Rodriguez attempted to interfere. Vaquer’s actions allowed Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky to retain their titles against Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez.
With both women now openly demanding the fight, their feud is set to escalate next week with the Women’s World Championship on the line under Street Fight rules.
