After the commercial break, Stephanie Vaquer spoke for the first time since making her return last week. Before La Primera entered the ring, Michael Cole and the commentary team took fans back to the events that led to her absence.

Just four months ago, Vaquer’s momentum came to a halt when she was injured at the hands of The Judgment Day. Now, she’s back with revenge on her mind—and the former WWE Women’s Champion is coming for her title.

Vaquer started the segment with a moment of appreciation for the fans, taking in the reaction from the crowd and soaking in her return before getting down to business.

Vaquer Has Unfinished Business

It was only a matter of time before The Judgment Day was mentioned—specifically Liv Morgan.

Vaquer made her intentions clear: she plans to take down The Judgment Day one by one. After everything the group put her through, Vaquer isn’t looking to simply move forward. She wants revenge.

More importantly, she made it clear that no one else will destroy her.

Vaquer used her first promo since returning to remind the division that she still has unfinished business surrounding the Women’s World Championship. Her return isn’t just about getting even with The Judgment Day; it’s about reclaiming the position she held before her absence.

But before Vaquer could fully turn her attention toward Liv Morgan, another former champion had something to say.

Becky Lynch Changes the Direction

Becky Lynch interrupted Stephanie Vaquer’s promo and immediately changed the direction of the segment.

While Vaquer made it known that she is coming back for the title, Lynch believes she has earned the opportunity to become Liv Morgan’s next challenger.

For the first time, Vaquer and Lynch stood face-to-face in the ring, with neither woman willing to back down.

What started as Vaquer sending a warning to Liv Morgan and The Judgment Day quickly became a battle over who deserves to stand across from the Women’s World Champion next.

What Happens Next?

Stephanie Vaquer returned with one clear goal: revenge and the championship she believes should still be hers.

Becky Lynch, however, may have just placed herself directly in Vaquer’s path.

Their first face-to-face confrontation opens the door to a new rivalry and raises an important question for RAW’s women’s division: Who gets Liv Morgan first?

Vaquer has unfinished business. Lynch believes she has earned her opportunity. And Liv Morgan remains at the center of it all with two former champions potentially coming after her title.

Whether WWE moves toward Vaquer vs. Lynch to determine the next challenger or takes the championship story in another direction, one thing became clear Monday night:

Stephanie Vaquer is back, and the Women’s World Championship picture just became a lot more complicated.

The results only tell part of the story. Go beyond the highlights with Women’s Wrestling Media.

Sol Ruca & IYO SKY Defeats the Fight to The Judgment Day

MATCH: Sol Ruca & iyo Sky vs Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez
Promotion: WWE – Raw
Date: August 10, 2026
Winner: Sol Ruca & Iyo Sky

Sol Ruca didn’t have to face The Judgment Day alone.

On Monday Night RAW, Ruca revealed IYO SKY as her mystery partner to take on Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.

The pairing immediately brought together two of WWE’s most athletic competitors, combining Ruca’s explosive offense with SKY’s speed, striking and experience.

The Judgment Day Brings the Fight

Rodriguez and Perez presented two different challenges. Rodriguez provided the power, while Perez brought speed and technical offense.

Their chemistry and Judgment Day tactics forced Ruca and SKY to adjust throughout the match, especially as the numbers game and outside distractions continued to play a factor.

For Ruca, this was also personal. Previous interference from The Judgment Day had already cost her momentum, making this an opportunity to fight back.

Sol Ruca Continues to Prove Herself

While IYO SKY brought championship experience to the team, the match was another important test for Sol Ruca.

Sharing the ring with SKY, Rodriguez and Perez gave Ruca an opportunity to prove that her athleticism can translate against some of RAW’s established names.

More importantly, she didn’t look out of place.

WWM Takeaway

The match was bigger than Sol Ruca simply finding a mystery partner.

Ruca continues to be tested against bigger names while The Judgment Day remains an obstacle in her path. Adding IYO SKY to the situation only gives the rivalry another layer.

For Sol Ruca, performances like this could be the next step toward establishing herself as a serious player in RAW’s women’s division.

Match Result: Sol Ruca & Iyo Sky outlasted Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez when Ruca pinned Perez (11:50)

Paris Van Dale vs. Liviyah: Outside Interference Leaves Business Unfinished

MATCH: Paris Van Dale vs. Liviyah
Promotion: Wrestling Open RI — Summer Stunner
Date: August 10, 2026
Winner: Liviyah via Disqualification

INTRO

The results only tell part of the story.

Paris Van Dale made a shocking return to Wrestling Open RI by immediately targeting Liviyah. During Liviyah’s Street Fight against Kylie Alexa, Van Dale interfered and used hairspray to blind Liviyah, ultimately costing her the match.

That attack gave Liviyah a reason to come looking for revenge.

On August 10, Liviyah and Van Dale finally met one-on-one, but what started as an opportunity to settle their issues quickly became another chapter in a much bigger story.

FROM RETURN TO RIVALRY

Van Dale wasted no time making an impact with her return. Instead of simply stepping back into the Wrestling Open RI women’s division, she chose Liviyah as her first target.

That immediately raised the stakes of their singles match.

Liviyah wasn’t just looking for another victory. She was facing the woman who interfered in her Street Fight and prevented her from settling things with Kylie Alexa on her own terms.

For Van Dale, this was her chance to prove that her return wasn’t going to be overlooked.

THE STORY OF THE MATCH

From the opening bell, there was already tension between the two.

Liviyah had every reason to bring the aggression after being blindsided the week before, while Van Dale had already shown that she was willing to do whatever it took to make an impact.

That history made this more than a standard singles match.

The question wasn’t simply who could outwrestle the other. It was whether Liviyah could finally get her revenge or if Van Dale would continue disrupting her momentum.

TURNING POINT

Just as Liviyah and Van Dale had the opportunity to settle their issues one-on-one, Kylie Alexa entered the equation.

Her involvement immediately changed the direction of the match.

The same rivalry that Van Dale inserted herself into the previous week came right back around, putting Liviyah in the middle of the chaos once again.

THE FINISH

The match ultimately ended in controversy when Kylie Alexa interfered, resulting in a disqualification.

Liviyah was awarded the victory, but it wasn’t exactly the revenge she was looking for.

Instead of earning a decisive win over Van Dale, outside interference once again prevented Liviyah from settling her issues inside the ring.

Winner: Liviyah via Disqualification

FINAL TAKEAWAY

Liviyah may have officially walked away with the victory, but the result only made the situation more complicated.

Paris Van Dale returned by interfering in Liviyah’s Street Fight against Kylie Alexa. One week later, Alexa inserted herself into Liviyah’s match against Van Dale.
