WWE RAW saw a shocking moment as Nikki Bella finally turned heel by attacking Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer right after her title defense.
On WWE RAW, Stephanie Vaquer defended her Women’s World Championship against Raquel Rodriguez from The Judgment Day. Roxanne Perez was in Rodriguez’s corner, while Nikki Bella was in Vaquer’s corner.
The match was hard-fought as advertised. However, in the end, Roxanne Perez grabbed Stephanie Vaquer’s leg to stop a springboard move. This led Nikki to attack Perez at ringside.
Taking advantage of the moment, Raquel Rodriguez gained the upper hand on Vaquer and went for a twisted elbow drop, but she missed. Vaquer quickly recovered and hit the Devil’s Kiss and finished the match with a corkscrew moonsault to retain her title.
Fans had been expecting Nikki Bella’s betrayal for weeks, and the moment finally arrived in dramatic fashion. After the match, however, things took a dramatic turn. As Vaquer celebrated her win, Roxanne Perez attacked her from behind.
Nikki Bella stepped in, seemingly to help, taking down Perez and throwing punches as Perez and Rodriguez’s retreats. But when Stephanie Vaquer turned around, Nikki shocked everyone by striking her in the face with the Women’s World Championship title.
