SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Earlier this month at Bad Blood, Raquel Rodriguez ruined Rhea Ripley’s chances at getting her Women’s World Championship back from Liv Morgan, causing a disqualification by attacking her both outside and inside the ring. Ripley understandably was angry, given how hard she had worked to regain the gold. However, this wasn’t just a random attack. Rodriguez and Ripley have fought multiple times before, even dating back to their time in NXT. For the next WWE Playlist entry, the WWE YouTube channel highlighted several of their past battles in order to give viewers a backstory of their feud.
This was an informative video showcasing how the two women have fought each other across brands, years, and premium live events. There have been lots of instances where Rodriguez and Ripley have met inside the squared circle. I really enjoyed the variety of those instances highlighted throughout the video. It didn’t matter if it was a match, a brawl, or some promos, those two have really given it their all whenever they face each other. Ripley is noticeably shorter than Rodriguez, although that doesn’t stop her from stepping up to fight.

Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez have certainly provided in their various rivalries during their time in NXT and on the main roster. It’ll be interesting to see who will come out on top whenever their next battle takes place.
