Judgment Day member suffers shocking defeat on WWE RAW; loses title opportunity

The ongoing Women's Intercontinental Championship tournament took center stage during the latest episode of WWE RAW. In a first-round match, Raquel Rodriguez faced Zoey Stark and Kayden Carter for an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming the inaugural WWE Women's IC Champion.

Zoey Stark started the Triple Threat bout strong, delivering a superkick to Carter followed by a DDT to Rodriguez. As Stark and Raquel continued battling on the floor, Kayden Carter seized the moment and wiped them both out with a Tornillo off the top rope.

Raquel eventually regained control of the match. The Judgment Day member hit a double powerbomb on both opponents simultaneously, followed up with a lariat on Stark for a near-fall. Kayden re-entered the ring and tried to build momentum, but Raquel countered with a Fallaway Slam.

Raquel then set Carter up for a corkscrew Vader Bomb, but Zoey Stark intervened at the last moment. Stark threw Raquel out of the ring and capitalized by hitting her finishing move, the Z-360, on Kayden Carter to secure the victory in an exciting finish.
