The first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament opened the latest episode of WWE RAW, and Rhea Ripley made an unexpected appearance during the match. She cost Raquel Rodriguez the opportunity to become the Queen of the Ring, while a returning Asuka claimed victory.
The Empress of Tomorrow took out Ivy Nile after the bell rang, and she, along with Stephanie Vaquer, attacked Big Mami Cool. Raquel tossed Asuka into The Dark Angel and hit her with a few strikes in the corner. She then planted Ivy Nile with a fallaway slam and did the same to Vaquer.
La Primera hit The Empress of Tomorrow with a dragon screw and then planted Nile with a back suplex. Stephanie Vaquer nailed Raquel Rodriguez with 10 Devil's Kiss on the apron and took out The Judgment Day member with a springboard crossbody.
Asuka hit Raquel Rodriguez with a series of strikes and a Codebreaker. Ivy Nile hit Asuka with her finisher, but Vaquer broke the pin. Rodriguez planted The Dark Angel with the Tejana Bomb and went for the cover but Rhea Ripley pulled the heel out of the ring.
Mami nailed Raquel with a Riptide on the floor and tossed her back into the ring. Asuka pinned her and won the match. Rhea Ripley got revenge on the 34-year-old star for costing her the Queen of the Ring first-round match on RAW last week.
