The Women’s World Championship will be defended at Payback on Sept 2 as the champion Rhea Ripley is set to take on Raquel Rodriguez.
On the Aug. 21 episode of Raw, Ripley had a match against Candice LeRae.
The champ took on and defeated Indi Hartwell last week, but now had to take on LeRae as both women came to Rodriguez’s aide a couple of weeks back. Ripley had another quick match as LeRae tapped out to the Prism submission.
Post match, Ripley and Dominik Mysterio were celebrating her victory on the ramp when Rodriguez’s music hit. Rodriguez came out with a crutch but much to Ripley’s shock, Rodriguez was in fact cleared.
The two went back and forth in the ring until Rodriguez got the better of the champion. Rodriguez ended the segment by saying she was cleared and will be challenging for the gold at Payback.
