On this week’s WWE RAW, Liv Morgan was visibly emotional after a confrontation with Stephanie Vaquer, who criticized Morgan’s work ethic and sacrifice as the Women’s World Champion. In response, Raquel Rodriguez has announced she will step back to let Morgan handle Vaquer herself, creating space for Morgan’s upcoming opportunity. Rodriguez shared these intentions during an interview with TMZ’s Inside The Ring, where she expressed her intention to clear the way for Morgan despite her own rivalry with Vaquer.
When asked about her plans if she wins the 2026 Elimination Chamber, Rodriguez, also known as Big Mami Cool, confirmed her willingness to support Morgan’s WWE opportunity over settling scores with Vaquer. She further stated her interest in pursuing a separate feud with Jade Cargill after Cargill’s recent disrespect toward members of The Judgment Day faction on SmackDown.
Raquel Rodriguez’s Intentions Toward Jade Cargill
Rodriguez specifically mentioned her frustration with Jade Cargill’s behavior during the last two SmackDown shows, explaining that Cargill’s disrespect toward her faction has provoked her. Rodriguez said she aims to confront Cargill on a major stage, possibly WrestleMania, and is eager to engage in a physical showdown to settle their differences.
“I had my fair share with Stephanie, and I wanna give Liv the opportunity to handle Stephanie on her own as well. But Jade has been very annoying to me these past couple of SmackDowns that we’ve attended. I feel like she’s been very disrespectful to The Judgment Day girlies. I feel like she’s just Jade. So I would love to hand her a good old-fashioned can of a**-whooping if I’m able to on the WrestleMania stage too. I would love that. I would love to just grab her by her hair and drag her around the ring in Las Vegas. And a double Tejana Bomb too.”

Previous Encounters Between Raquel Rodriguez and Stephanie Vaquer
Raquel Rodriguez has faced Stephanie Vaquer, also known as La Primera, three times for the Women’s World Championship. Their most recent bout concluded with Rodriguez losing a Philadelphia Street Fight to Vaquer, adding tension to their ongoing rivalry. This history contextualizes Rodriguez’s decision to pause her feud to provide Liv Morgan the chance to respond to Vaquer’s recent provocations.
Stephanie Vaquer’s Apology and Clarification
Following her sharp remarks toward Liv Morgan on RAW, Stephanie Vaquer issued an apology through her Instagram story, but it was aimed at her supporters and fellow wrestlers in Chile rather than Morgan. Vaquer retracted her earlier comment implying there was no professional wrestling scene in Chile, clarifying that she referred only to the period before she began her career. She took the opportunity to praise the current wrestlers in her home country, emphasizing Chile’s vibrant wrestling community.
Despite this clarification, Vaquer maintained her tough stance toward Morgan, and the situation hints at a possible rematch or confrontation, likely at a major WWE event such as WrestleMania 42 for the Women’s World Championship.
Looking Ahead: WWE Rivalries and WrestleMania Possibilities
The ongoing tensions among Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaquer, and Jade Cargill are shaping a complex landscape in WWE’s women’s division. Rodriguez’s decision to give Morgan space to confront Vaquer suggests shifting alliances and upcoming high-stakes matches. Additionally, Rodriguez’s challenge toward Cargill indicates multiple storylines converging toward WrestleMania, where titles and legacies could be heavily contested.
With Morgan poised to capitalize on this WWE opportunity, fans can expect intense bouts and heated rivalries in the coming months, defining the direction of women’s wrestling leading up to the 2026 Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania events.
