Stephanie Vaquer Retains Her Women’s World Title in a Triple Threat Against Nikki Bella & Raquel Rodriguez

The final Monday Night Raw of 2025 saw La Primera reigning supreme against veteran Nikki Bella and powerhouse Raquel Rodriguez. Stephanie Vaquer made sure she had the gold around her waist entering 2026. The high-stakes encounter kept the crowd on the edge of their seats with numerous chaos-ridden moments in the match.

Nikki Bella brought veteran experience in the game, while Raquel Rodriguez showcased her raw power. Stephanie Vaquer was able to counter both with her lucha libre fighting style. All three divas traded heavy blows during the match, but still made sure to continue ahead in the match, given that the Women’s World Championship was at stake.

The Battle of Eras and Power Followed by The Art of the Steal

Nikki Bella paid homage to John Cena when she locked Raquel Rodriguez into an STF, prompting the crowd chant “Thank You Cena.” The climax of the match started when Raquel Rodriguez held both Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella for a double Tejana Bomb. Stephanie Vaquer lived up to her name and slipped past Raquel Rodriguez in the very last moments.

Raquel Rodriguez continued with the move, and Nikki Bella tasted the full fury of Tejana Bomb. Stephanie Vaquer showed a high IQ, immediately dumping Raquel Rodriguez out of the ring. She then covered fallen Nikki Bella to secure a pinfall victory in the triple threat match.

While the match might have ended with Stephanie Vaquer’s victory, her stealing the pin from Raquel Rodriguez surely gives their rivalry an entirely new chapter. With Liv Morgan back in the business and a backstage conflict between Raquel Rodriguez and Judgment Day, intends that WWE is planning to give Raquel Rodriguez a Solo run.
