Raquel Rodriguez has expressed her thoughts on a recent wardrobe malfunction that occurred during the Royal Rumble PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following her matches against Stephanie Vaquer. In an interview with TMZ’s Inside the Ring, Rodriguez candidly discussed the unfortunate incident and her decision to retire the attire involved.
Rodriguez explained that she wore the same gear at the Royal Rumble that she had previously donned during her Street Fight against Rhea Ripley at the 2025 Night of Champions. Reflecting on her decision, she admitted, “I have to admit I did fall short because I wore that one with Rhea in our Street Fight that we had in Saudi the last trip. I just didn’t have the time to make another gear for the Rumble, so I just wore the same one.” She had hoped to make the most of the outfit, thinking it would be special to wear it on multiple occasions.
However, her experience took a turn when she revealed that the outfit has now been retired due to a hole that developed in the back by the end of the Royal Rumble. “It’s going to have to be retired now because I did get a hole in the b** at the end of the [Royal] Rumble, which no one saw until the end of the Rumble, so we got out clear and okay,” she stated, showcasing her light-hearted attitude towards the mishap.
This isn’t the first time a wardrobe malfunction has been a topic of conversation at such events. Last year, Lyra Valkyria experienced a similar issue, but Liv Morgan swooped in just in time to assist her, allowing Valkyria to adjust her outfit and continue the match seamlessly.
Rodriguez’s story emphasizes the unexpected challenges faced by performers on stage and the spirit of resilience and humor that they maintain in the face of such incidents. As she moves forward, Rodriguez’s upbeat attitude serves as an inspiration to embrace imperfections while enjoying the journey in the ring.
