Women’s World Champion targeted during Netflix anniversary show
Summary
– Stephanie Vaquer appeared on WWE RAW wearing a walking boot
– Raquel Rodriguez attacked Vaquer and targeted her injured ankle
– The assault continued backstage later in the show
WWE RAW celebrated its first anniversary on Netflix on January 5, 2026, with a live broadcast from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The night featured several surprises, including a shocking segment involving the Women’s World Champion.
Stephanie Vaquer made her way to the ring wearing a walking boot, with commentary confirming she had suffered an ankle injury in a match the previous week. Despite the injury, Vaquer addressed the crowd and thanked fans for supporting her championship reign.
Vaquer spoke partly in English and showed respect to Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez following their recent triple threat match. She then looked down at her injured ankle and stated that the setback would not stop her.
As Vaquer appeared ready to exit, Raquel Rodriguez suddenly entered the ring and attacked the champion. Rodriguez focused her offense on Vaquer’s injured ankle, ignoring referee warnings and escalating the situation.
Rodriguez retrieved a chair and continued the assault before officials attempted to intervene. She eventually backed away, leaving Vaquer down in the ring as commentary emphasized the severity of the injury.
The attack did not end there. After the commercial break, Rodriguez located Vaquer backstage and assaulted her again, further intensifying the angle.
The segment raised serious questions about Vaquer’s immediate future and the status of the Women’s World Championship. WWE may have positioned the champion to be sidelined, with potential fallout looming in the weeks ahead.
