Lynch then refused to make a three-count for Morgan after the altercation. Vaquer took advantage and won the title in her home country. She walked into RAW in Mexico City as the champion.

La Primera teamed with El Grande Americano against Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, but the Judgment Day interfered to cause a disqualification. They left Vaquer, El Grande, and Rey Mysterio on the mat.

Lynch then claimed Vaquer owed her a title shot later on RAW. The next five WWE stars could challenge the new Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer.

#5. Bayley gets back on track

Bayley returned last week to cost Lyra Valkyria a chance to qualify for Money in the Bank. She addressed Valkyria’s betrayal this summer during a pre-taped message on RAW.

While she’ll have to deal with Lyra in the interim, Bayley would be a good challenger for Vaquer down the road. She’s a multi-time champion and great in-ring worker.

Bayley also hasn’t been in the Women’s World Championship picture much this year. The two would mesh well to give the WWE fans a memorable match. Valkyria could even interfere to cost Bayley the victory.

#4. Liv Morgan believes her own hype

Liv Morgan isn’t going anywhere soon. She traded the title with Vaquer, with each woman picking up a huge win in a different fashion. Morgan won the title from Vaquer at WrestleMania after winning the 2026 Royal Rumble.

Vaquer lived her dream of winning a major WWE Title in her homeland of Chile. Morgan and the Judgment Day stood tall over Vaquer after the mixed tag team match on RAW.

The grating Morgan will pursue the title as long as she isn’t champion. It could lead to a triple threat at Money in the Bank or another singles showdown before the PLE. Triple H considers the brash Morgan one of his top stars. She wouldn’t have had the uneventful run she had if he didn’t think that way.

#3. AJ Lee comes back for another challenge

AJ Lee hasn’t been used since WrestleMania 42, and that may have been at her request. She came back for a few programs with Becky Lynch and even won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from The Man.

She dropped the title to Lynch at The Showcase of the Immortals in April. If WWE wants a one-off match for the title, they could have Lee challenge La Primera at Money in the Bank or on a future episode of RAW.

She could even trade words with Morgan since she’ll hover around Vaquer. WWE could have Lee and Vaquer tag together against the Judgment Day ahead of a potential title match.

RAW just added Lola Vice, but the roster needs shuffling. Fans have seen the Judgment Day face IYO SKY, Bayley, Vaquer, and Sol Ruca numerous times this year. Adding Lee would at least provide a new face.

#2. IYO SKY gets another shot

SKY was one of many women screwed out of winning the Women’s World Title during Morgan’s reign of terror. Morgan’s first defense was against SKY after she won Queen of the Ring.

Morgan didn’t defend the title in her first 100 days as champion. The former NXT Women’s Champion hasn’t been utilized much on RAW lately, so she needs to be reinserted into storylines.

She’ll hopefully qualify for Money in the Bank next week or move to SmackDown. SKY faced Vaquer for the vacant title last year. The two have great chemistry and could put on another great match.

While it would be another match between the two, they haven’t clashed again in over a year. That cannot be said for every woman in the Judgment Day and most of the faces on RAW.

#1. Becky Lynch is one of WWE’s top stars

Becky Lynch vs. Stephanie Vaquer feels like it should be saved for WrestleMania 42, but it seems WWE is headed for a one-on-one showdown before the end of 2026.

Both women confronted Liv Morgan after SummerSlam. They had a tenuous alliance to combat the Judgment Day. The Man was even the guest referee when Vaquer won the title in Chile.

She claimed La Primera owed her a title shot after the title win. The two could square off at Money in the Bank or include Morgan in a triple threat at the PLE.

Putting Morgan in a Money in the Bank qualifier would be a waste of a spot since she just lost the title. She has issues with Lynch and Vaquer. Both women will be in the title scene for the next few months.
