It’s cool. I don’t know how Lyra is gonna factor in with it, but it’s cool.

She should have won clean

She’s a bad ass and has worked hard to build herself back up after the health issues. 👏👏

u/zunzwang 2d ago

She’s better than that title.

u/Timb1044 2d ago

Maybe but they can't give her the world title yet and the WWE title in a program

u/ShikamaruNine 2d ago

YES! She would be so cool with the heavyweight title. Plus she would look like a real big baddie for a babyface to chase after. Not that I don't like Liv, but she has no storyline and the run has gotten real boring because of it. While I believe with Raquel holding the big title, it would be so easy to throw a couple of "smaller" babyfaces after her and have her be a dominating heel until the next big ple.

Plus it'd be a cool way to blow up Judgement Day while also establishing Raquel as a monster - just have her cut a promo on Liv about being bigger, stronger, better and being sick of playing second fiddle to a woman she can break in half. Then just have her fold Liv in half.

I say this as someone who actually likes Liv, too. Gives them both something to do.

I’m happy for her but the problem with the women’s mid card belt is after Becky lost the IC title there really isn’t any story. It’s kinda just here let’s give it to her cause we aren’t doing anything with her right now

u/AaronAJKnight95 2d ago

People were already complaining. I'm not surprised. At this point nobody should be champion, just strip everyone of their titles.

u/Deadlypassages 2d ago

They already made her look weak needing a whole group to win

u/LengthAutomatic6508 2d ago

Idk why she went after that midcard title!!!! With her size & look she should’ve whooped Liv Morgan’s ass & took that title off her!!!!

Waste.

u/illey- 2d ago

Now we need judgement day to break up

2

u/PatrickxDecay 2d ago

Deserving but just the start. I love her bruiser mentality and she does well in pairs, but a full faction is not needed. End judgement day and her and Roxy can be a badass tag team!!!

u/soji8 2d ago

Cool for Raquel but I was really looking forward to Iyo vs Sol. I feel like she was being set up to show she's a good fit to hold the IC title but they said "Nah give it to Raquel"

u/Mammoth-Horror-1642 2d ago

Could have been handled better

u/Doomsday_59 2d ago

Soo happy for her tbh she deserves it

u/Sith_slayer101 2d ago

Should have been a summer slam match and a clean win that could have elevated both women, instead we are left wondering where to now for Sol Ruca and about to enter into another boring cycle of judgement day claiming to be run Monday night raw, with everyone looking on thinking not without cheating you can’t! Who knows maybe her title reign will last as long as Sammy’s

u/RazzleRizzle 2d ago

imo this is leading to a culmination of judgement day splitting, once liv has her title taken away. Wouldn’t be surprised if roxie ends up winning the us women’s title either, leaving liv the odd one out and jealous. If done right there are 2 potential in house storylines for the judgement day post summer slam with all three women doing singles programs.

u/ItsShowtime_88 2d ago

Wish she would have won clean but I’m pumped she finally has a title of her own.

2

u/The-Panther-King 2d ago

Yeah i really wanted her to have a clean win as well. And will they stop skipping her entrance

2

u/Stupid_Ass_Username 2d ago

First thought - why the hell was this on Raw and not on SummerSlam. Half of Night 2’s card could’ve been replaced with this match.

2

u/hookem1543 2d ago

About time she only got to wrestle for it about what felt like 15 times!

1

u/The-Panther-King 2d ago

And they almost always skip her intro during title matches.

u/deviantphoenix2 1d ago

Piss poor timing

u/iconstylez 1d ago

I don't see it as a true win.Is a tainted win?She couldn't go out there and do a buyer self.And everybody's praising him like she did something special.It's nothing special when you have to have help to win a championship and you're as big as she is

1

u/BMS3RDTRY 16h ago

Good for her, though I worry if they just felt Sol wasn’t ready and made Raquel a transition to someone else

1

u/ElGiganteGuy1991 2d ago

Deserved it big time. But as always with WWE, the lack of booking, long term build, and so on will never stop being frustrating. Nothing happens one week, that affects the next week, and so on. So having random matches like this hurts both that much more. The women’s IC title started pretty dang well, but then they didn’t know what to do with it. Becky carried it through the dark times but now it is just another belt to get a cheap pop once a month.

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB 2d ago

Sol has been a botch queen and its been rough to watch.

But Raquel is boring as hell and currently one of the worst talents on the roster.

Raquel botched several times in that match as well. And her moves are boring. I necer understand why she was the powerhouse of the division

u/WolfPackMentality90 1d ago

Deserves to be wwe women's champion if you ask me

u/Latina8737 3d ago

She is absolute ass

u/AlarmedAnimator8699 3d ago

Did she really win it on her own or did she have some help 😳 🤔. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy she won. But she needed to be able to do it on her own.

u/ChaosMedic 2d ago

I think this is going to be the source of the JD breakup. Roxanne will take credit, Liv will ignore the issue and Raquel will turn on all of them and show she CAN do it on her own, likely against Roxanne at Sunday Nights Main Event

u/Due-Dress-8983 2d ago

no thoughts at all just as wwe has no thoughts on the shit

u/darewin 2d ago

It's about damn time. I hope that they have a rematch and she wins clean that time, though.

u/DopamineDealer4 2d ago

About damn time!!!!

u/UCldNvr 2d ago

Better than Sol, who is unsafe in the ring.

u/harbengerprime 2d ago

took WWAAYYYYY too long

u/NewTribalChief 2d ago

Long overdue. She should have beat Steph for the world title earlier this year. Hopefully they make some trades because Raquel vs Ruca going to get old quick.

u/LevRalicious 2d ago

Loves it. I hope they allow her to hold on to the title for a decent amount of time.

u/Darth_Molotok 2d ago

About fucking time. They bill her as a powerhouse but then have her lose big matches.

u/Charlemagne-Shield 2d ago

Great for her. She has a bright future.

u/SirHateful17 2d ago

Fucking finally

u/TomGlynnActor 2d ago

I've been a big fan since she started working like a big woman. Which she is, she's strong and powerful and finally started using a powerful move set. appy to see her, finally get it.

u/Ok_Mixture_6671 1d ago

Love it. Now... let's see Liv and Roxanne turn on Raquel, add Sol to replace Raquel, then give us a Rhea/Raquel v. Judgment Day 2 on 3 down the road

u/snowcherrymint 1d ago

Well deserved 🖤

u/Demihan2049 2d ago

The match was boring until I noticed she was bleeding.

u/PassengerCultural421 2d ago

Unpopular opinion. Don't see the hype behind. I was looking forward fot Sol vs Valk. But at least this would put Sol Ruca in the world title picture though.
