WWE has made it official: the Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez Street Fight will take place at WWE Night of Champions this Saturday. Announced on the latest episode of RAW, this match follows weeks of escalating aggression, with both competitors seeking retribution after high-profile interference during the Women’s Queen of the Ring tournament.
Animosity Reaches Boiling Point on RAW
The tension between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez has intensified after both athletes cost each other crucial opportunities in recent weeks—the Judgment Day member first undermined Mami’s tournament chances, and Rodriguez retaliated a week later. The conflict erupted into a physical altercation on RAW, where Rodriguez called out Ripley and the two clashed in the ring.
Brawl Escalates with Table Spot and Unexpected Backup
During their confrontation, Raquel Rodriguez brought a table into play and was nearly sent crashing through it by Ripley. However, Roxanne Perez intervened at a critical moment, attacking Ripley and using the Tejana Bomb to send her through the furniture. This involvement shifted momentum and added another layer of uncertainty to the upcoming bout.
Official Announcement and Match Details
Backstage, Rhea Ripley confronted Adam Pearce, the RAW General Manager, demanding a showdown with Rodriguez. Pearce responded by confirming the highly anticipated Street Fight for Night of Champions. The stipulation means both stars have the freedom to use any available weapon, promising a chaotic and unpredictable contest.
Key Allies and Absent Partners
As the event approaches, speculation grows about external interference. Liv Morgan is not expected to be in Rodriguez’s corner, but Roxanne Perez—already having impacted the feud—may again play a pivotal role. Ripley will need to keep her attention on both Rodriguez and any potential outside involvement as the Night of Champions approaches. The Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez Street Fight is positioned to be one of the night’s most volatile and unpredictable matches, with the outcome likely to influence the dynamics within the WWE Women’s division.
