Raquel Rodriguez from Smackdown female roster is headed to WWE Money In The Bank 2022 premium live event. During the June 17 episode of the blue brand show, Raquel defeated Shayna Baszler in a one-on-one match to qualify for the 2022 edition of the MITB ladder match.
Raquel was almost choked out with the Kirifuda Clutch hold from Baszler but she managed to get herself free by sending Baszler into the corner. Raquel then picked up the win after planting Baszler with the Tejana Bomb for the three counts of the referee.
With this win, Raquel Rodriguez became the fourth participant for the Women’s Money in the Bank 2022 ladder match after Lacey Evans, Alexa Bliss, and Liv Morgan, who qualified over the past couple of weeks.
