Women's Intercontinental Title Match Set For Next Week's Raw

Raquel Rodriguez spent most of her time on the WWE main roster competing in tag team matches. That changed on the July 27, 2026 episode of WWE Raw when she defeated Sol Ruca to win the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. The victory marked her first major singles title on the main roster.

In an interview with Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Rodriguez discussed what the win represented for her. She said it meant so much because of her long journey with WWE that included many ups and downs. Rodriguez added that she had begun to feel pigeonholed as only a tag team wrestler.

Rodriguez explained that the championship victory showed WWE had faith in her to carry a title and stand as the Intercontinental Champion. She noted that the moment held deep meaning for both her career path with the company and her life overall. The Judgment Day member called the achievement very cool.

Rodriguez captured the title while blood dripped down her face after getting busted open early in the match against Ruca. She described the injury as very painful but stated it was worth every little bit to become the champion. Since winning the championship, Rodriguez has made one successful televised defense on the August 28 edition of Raw. She has also defended the WWE Women's Intercontinental Title at multiple live events against challengers including Nia Jax, Bayley, IYO SKY, and Sol Ruca.
