WWE Plans For Raquel Rodriguez Following Bad Blood Return Revealed

Raquel Rodriguez returned to WWE at Bad Blood, turning heel as she interfered at the end of Liv Morgan's WWE Women's World Championship match with Rhea Ripley. 

Rodriguez attacked Ripley outside of the ring, before hitting her finisher in the squared circle, causing a disqualification that ensured Morgan retained her title. 

However, the original finish (which was to have seen Rodriguez's interference help Morgan defeat Ripley) was reportedly changed on the fly after the spot was mistimed and the referee saw everything clearly. 

Regardless, Raquel is back in the fold after an eight-month absence and, according to PWInsider, will be officially aligned with The Judgment Day moving forward. The site noted that there had been talk of Rodriguez returning as far back as July. 

Rodriguez revealed that she had been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) in January. She wrestled at Elimination Chamber in February, despite suffering a flare-up, and then defeated Chelsea Green in a short match on Raw two days later before being pulled from the active roster in March. 

In September, it was reported that pitches were being made for her WWE return.
