Raquel Rodriguez Twice Attacks Injured Stephanie Vaquer on Raw, Forcing WWE Intervention

WWE halted Raquel Rodriguez's assault on Stephanie Vaquer's injured ankle, putting the champion's availability in doubt.

Overview

  • Stephanie Vaquer entered Raw in a walking boot and said she intended to work through an ankle injury attributed on commentary to her December 29 match with Raquel Rodriguez and Nikki Bella.
  • Rodriguez blindsided the Women's World Champion in the ring, targeted the injured ankle, and delivered a Tejana Bomb before officials rushed in.
  • She attempted to use a ringside chair but was stopped when Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and producers intervened on-air.
  • Rodriguez struck again backstage until Pearce threatened heavy fines and ejected her from the building, as Vaquer was shown clutching her ankle while officials assisted.
  • Newsweek, citing Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, reported the injury is legitimate with the severity not yet known, leaving Vaquer's in-ring status and title picture uncertain.
