The road to WrestleMania 42 is heating up fast, and this week’s WWE RAW in Philadelphia delivered plenty of action, chaos, and a few surprises. From a brutal Philly Street Fight to Dominik Mysterio’s return and Liv Morgan sending a strong message, it’s clear the women’s division is stealing the spotlight.
Stephanie Vaquer Retains in a Brutal Philly Street Fight
Raquel Rodriguez came into RAW determined to walk out with the Women’s World Championship, and she pushed Stephanie Vaquer to her absolute limit. The two faced off in a Philly Street Fight, with no rules and plenty of weapons.
Chairs, kendo sticks, steel steps, garbage cans—you name it, they used it. The match was as wild and intense as expected, and the crowd loved every second of it. But one weapon turned the tide for good—the dreaded table.
Despite rumors that The Judgment Day would interfere to help Raquel, she insisted on fighting alone. However, her teammates didn’t fully respect that wish.
Interference Backfires for Raquel Rodriguez
In the final moments of the match, chaos broke out. Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez attempted to interfere on Raquel’s behalf, but things didn’t go as planned. Morgan’s interference backfired, giving Vaquer the opening she needed.
La Primera delivered a picture-perfect hurricanrana off the top rope, sending Raquel crashing through a table. She sealed the win with a breathtaking corkscrew splash from the top rope, retaining her title in dramatic fashion.
Dominik Mysterio Returns with Liv Morgan
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Dominik Mysterio was backstage and ready to return to WWE. As expected, Dirty Dom made his presence known—though in a more low-key way. He came out to introduce Liv Morgan, the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner.
Fans were hoping Liv would finally announce which title she would chase at WrestleMania 42. But instead, she said she wasn’t ready to make a decision and would appear on SmackDown this Friday to check out the competition, especially WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
Liv Morgan Sends a Message to Stephanie Vaquer
Just when it looked like Morgan was walking away peacefully, she attacked Stephanie Vaquer backstage after her title win. Liv hit her with the obLIVion and then held up the Women’s World Championship—sending a loud and clear message.
She may not have made her choice official, but this move strongly suggests Liv Morgan already has her eyes set on Stephanie Vaquer and the Women’s World Title.
What’s Next Heading into WrestleMania 42?
With WrestleMania 42 fast approaching, here’s a quick look at where things stand:
| Superstar | Status |
|---|---|
| Stephanie Vaquer | Retained Women’s World Title on RAW |
| Raquel Rodriguez | Lost despite a strong showing |
| Liv Morgan | Still deciding between two titles—possibly targeting Vaquer |
| Dominik Mysterio | Returned to WWE, backing Liv Morgan |
| Tiffany Stratton | Expected to return on SmackDown, possibly targeting Liv |
Liv Morgan’s final choice could come this Friday on SmackDown. If she confirms her intentions to go after Vaquer, we’re looking at a WrestleMania dream match in the making.
