Raquel Rodriguez is coming back to NXT.
Earlier this week on NXT, Roxanne Perez said that she was going to appear on WWE Smackdown to find a competitor to take on Cora Jade in the upcoming episode for the company’s developmental promotion, and that’s exactly what she did.
While backstage, Perez was having a conversation with Shotzi when Raquel Rodriguez showed up, with Perez taking advantage of the moment to ask Rodriguez if she could face off against Jade on Tuesday, and quickly, Bayley came in to interrupt the talks. Rodriguez would end up accepting the offer from Perez.
“The Role Model” was offended by Jade that she wasn’t asked to be the one to take on Cora Jade, leading to Bayley saying that she was going to thrash Perez later during the night in the squared circle.
Hey @CoraJadeWWE, your opponent has been selected by @roxanne_wwe … and it's @RaquelWWE!
However, @itsBayleyWWE has something to say about that.#SmackDownpic.twitter.com/958lPj2a5E

When the match arrived, it would end up being a trios tag team match between Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez and Shotzi against Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY), with Damage CTRL picking up the win after Perez was pinned by Bayley.
With Roxanne Perez now having her opponent picked for Cora Jade, the latter will now be making an appearance on this Monday’s WWE Raw, where it will be her turn to pick an opponent to take on Perez.
