Raquel Rodriguez took a deeply personal shot at Paige during the May 11, 2026 episode of WWE RAW, escalating the rivalry surrounding the WWE Women’s Tag Team division.
The segment began with Paige and Brie Bella coming to the ring to address the state of the women’s tag division. The duo called out The Judgment Day, leading to an immediate confrontation with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
Rodriguez mocked the return of Paige and Brie Bella by referring to it as a “nostalgia tour,” while Perez followed up by criticizing the Bella legacy.
Perez claimed she once admired Brie Bella growing up before eventually realizing the Bellas had “set the bar so low.”

The confrontation became far more personal once Rodriguez shifted her attention directly toward Paige.
“Given a million chances and still fumbles every single one,” Rodriguez said. “Listen, I know we’re all just waiting for your next big scandal to hit.”
The line appeared to reference several controversial periods from Paige’s WWE career, including her wellness policy suspensions in 2016 and the leaked private photos and videos that became public in 2017.
Her highly publicized relationship with former WWE star Alberto Del Rio also generated major media attention during that period.
By incorporating those references into the storyline, WWE significantly intensified the feud beyond a standard championship rivalry. The angle has increasingly centered around a generational divide within the women’s division, with Paige and Brie Bella attempting to prove they still belong near the top of WWE while Rodriguez and Perez continue presenting themselves as the future of the division.
In recent weeks, Rodriguez and Perez have repeatedly accused the veteran stars of relying too heavily on nostalgia while preventing younger talent from fully taking over the spotlight.
Following Rodriguez’s comments on RAW, Paige finally snapped and attacked her with a running elbow strike, triggering a ringside brawl involving all sides.
Brie Bella quickly joined the fight as Paige and Bella briefly gained momentum before the numbers advantage shifted once Liv Morgan got involved to assist Rodriguez and Perez.
The segment further advanced what has become one of WWE RAW’s most heated rivalries in the women’s division heading into the coming weeks.
