There were valid concerns about the status of Judgment Day and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship following Liv Morgan’s injury. Despite Morgan being sidelined, the title remains with Judgment Day, with Roxanne Perez stepping in alongside Raquel Rodriguez. After Morgan’s injury, Rodriguez took over as the leader of the champions and Perez. Tommy Dreamer, host of “Busted Open After Dark,” believes that Rodriguez is not only keeping the tag team’s momentum alive but is also shining individually.
Dreamer praised Rodriguez, saying, “Glow, sparkle, sparkle, Raquel Rodriguez, you’re doing something amazing. When someone gets injured, it’s usually a challenge, but she’s stepping up and rising to the occasion.” He added that Rodriguez has been even more impressive since her match with Rhea Ripley, describing it as a new level for her and expressing his admiration.
Dreamer referenced the street fight between Rodriguez and Ripley last month, a match notably praised by WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry. Henry believed Rodriguez showed main event potential in that match but advised her to maintain the toughness she displayed. Rodriguez began her career on the independent circuit before signing with WWE and has since become an eight-time tag champion and a former NXT Women’s Champion.
In the latest “WWE Raw,” Rodriguez and Perez successfully defended their tag titles against Bailey and Lailah Valkyria, despite interference from “Dirty” Dominic Mysterio and Becky Lynch.
Fan Take: This update is exciting for WWE fans as it highlights Roxanne Rodriguez’s rise as a formidable competitor and leader during a critical time. Her growth not only strengthens the tag team division but also hints at her potential to become a top singles star, which could bring fresh dynamics to WWE storylines.
