NXT Women Shake Up WWE RAW – The women of NXT made a major impact during the April 21 episode of WWE RAW, injecting new energy and rivalries into the post-WrestleMania 41 landscape.
The second hour of the show opened with newly crowned WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY making her way to the ring. Fresh off her title win at WrestleMania 41, SKY declared the event to be the best night of her career and reveled in her triumph.
However, the celebration was cut short when NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer made a surprise appearance. Holding her own championship, Vaquer boldly stated that she wants to test herself against the best, and issued an impromptu challenge to SKY. WWE official Adam Pearce wasted no time in sanctioning the match, making it official on the spot.
The ensuing contest between SKY and Vaquer delivered a high-quality back-and-forth match, showcasing both women’s skills in what quickly became a crowd favorite. Just as the action was ramping up, chaos struck.
Roxanne Perez hit the ring and launched a surprise attack on IYO SKY, causing a disqualification and robbing fans of a clean finish. But the drama didn’t end there. Giulia made her shocking RAW debut immediately after and blindsided Vaquer, signaling a sudden and unexpected alliance between herself and Perez.
Before further damage could be done, Rhea Ripley stormed the ring. The former champion chased off Perez and Giulia, standing tall as the segment closed with questions swirling about the balance of power in WWE’s women’s divisions.
This explosive segment not only highlighted the rising stars from NXT, but also set the stage for potential inter-brand rivalries involving some of the most dominant women in WWE.
