Former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will face Raquel Rodriguez, one half of the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, in a highly anticipated street fight at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this Saturday. This match was announced during “WWE Raw” following a dramatic segment where Rodriguez and aspiring Judgment Day member Roxanne Perez put Ripley through a table. Their rivalry has reignited after Ripley interfered in the Queen of the Ring tournament, costing Rodriguez her chance at the crown.
ECW icon Tommy Dreamer shared his insights on “Busted Open Radio,” offering a prediction for the match. While he anticipates a win for Ripley, Dreamer believes that Rodriguez’s victory could lead to more compelling storylines within WWE, particularly involving the Judgment Day faction. “If Roxanne Perez is there and helps her, that could be a thing,” he suggested. Dreamer also emphasized the importance of Perez’s potential interference, as the rules surrounding intergender matches in Saudi Arabia may limit help from male stablemates like Finn Balor or Dominik Mysterio.
Rodriguez’s chances may rest heavily on Perez, especially with Liv Morgan sidelined due to a shoulder injury from a previous match against Kairi Sane. Morgan is set to undergo surgery, further concentrating the burden on Rodriguez and Perez for the upcoming match.
The impending clash promises to be an exciting spectacle, showcasing the fierce competition and evolving narratives within WWE. Fans are sure to be on the edge of their seats as the night approaches, eager to see which competitor will emerge victorious in this no-holds-barred encounter.
