Nikki Bella Interferes in WWE Raw Title Match

Published 16 December 2025

On the December 16 episode of WWE Raw, Nikki Bella made a dramatic return to the ring, interfering in the Women's World Championship match between champion Stephanie Vaquer and challenger Raquel Rodriguez, resulting in a disqualification that allowed Vaquer to retain her title.

The bout, held in Hershey, Pennsylvania, featured intense action from the outset. Rodriguez, a member of The Judgment Day faction, established early dominance with her power-based offense, including a powerbomb after countering Vaquer's attempted armbar near the ropes. Vaquer responded with agile moves, such as a flying crossbody that Rodriguez caught and countered into a slam, followed by her signature Devil's Kiss and a meteora from the top rope. As the match spilled outside, Rodriguez attempted to drive Vaquer into the ring post, but the champion reversed it, sending Rodriguez face-first into the steel structure. That moment of vulnerability prompted Bella to emerge from the crowd, attacking Vaquer and then turning her attention to Rodriguez, slamming the challenger into the ring steps. The referee called for a no-contest due to the interference, preserving Vaquer's reign.
