According to the follow-up reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is planning to do Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez for the Women’s World Championship at August’s Summerslam 2023 premium live event. The match was further hinted at in a backstage segment where Ripley complained to other Judgment Day members against Raquel for interfering in her business.
Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville won a Tag Team Turmoil to become the Number-One Contenders for the Women’s Tag Team Titles on Raw and they are scheduled to receive a title shot from Liv and Raquel at a later date. The current assumption is that WWE will book this Tag Team Title match on a weekly episode of Raw which will allow Raquel to get engaged in a Women’s World Title match at Summerslam 2023 set for August 5.
