Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez, once the best of friends and a tag team that was a threat to everyone else. Now, the two are inexplicably done with each other, after Rodriguez betrayed Ripley in the worst way possible. The Night of Champions in Riyadh is a night of some lit matches, and this segment started with a video that went in depth about the friends turned foes, Ripley and Rodriguez, as the two opponents make their entrance in Kingdom Arena to a deafening crowd.
Raquel Rodriguez is bigger but Rhea Ripley is smarter
La Mas Ruda by Def Rebel plays in the background as Raquel Rodriguez walks out to the stage and into the ring in Kingdom Arena. She has both the tag team title belts with her, and fans cheer on The Judgement Day member. Soon after, Demon in your Dreams by Def Rebel plays as Rhea Ripley makes her entrance. Ripley is on a streak with a 4-1 record against Raquel Rodriguez, and a 31-3 one-on-one record since 2022.
Things start slow, with Raquel Rodriguez initially having the upper hand with her dominant physical stature, but Rhea Ripley makes her mark soon enough. They know each other and their moves well, which is both a pro and a con in this situation. After throwing some punches at each other, Mami gets herself trapped in the ropes, a situation that Rodriguez takes full advantage of. She brings out the first weapon of the night, a stick, and attacks Ripley. The former then brings a chair, but Rhea Ripley kicks it to the face of her opponent and finally frees herself.
Rhea Ripley wins it with a Riptide
Rodriguez brings out a table after throwing Ripley into a headboard, but her next step proves faulty when Rhea Ripley smashes her face first into the steel steps and then takes out her belt and gets hitting. Both come back inside the ring, but Ripley keeps hitting with her belt, and she almost gets the win. She goes for a Prism trap, when Roxanne Perez attacks from behind. Mami is enraged and goes to town on her but this also gives Raquel Rodriguez time to gather her strength and attacks Ripley.
The match comes to an end after Rhea Ripley gets on the table, smashes Raquel Rodriguez's face in, brings her up to the table, and then ends it with a Riptide. After all the back and forth, even though her opponent gave her a tough fight, it was Mami who emerged as the winner of the night.
Rhea Ripley wins the Street Fight by pinfall.
