After Becky Lynch fell short in her attempt to defend the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Lee, a Gauntlet Match was held on this week’s episode of Raw to determine the next No. 1 contender for the title. Several prominent names competed in the match, including Raquel Rodriguez of The Judgment Day. However, Rodriguez was unable to secure the victory and missed out on the opportunity to challenge Lee.

Following the result, Lynch took to social media and criticized Rodriguez for failing to capitalize on the opportunity, calling her “repulsive” for missing the chance to face AJ Lee. Rodriguez did not stay silent for long. The Judgment Day star fired back with a sarcastic response of her own on social media, even giving the Irishwoman a fitting nickname as their online exchange quickly drew attention from fans.

As ‘The Man’ posted about Raquel Rodriguez losing on Raw, the Judgement Day ace took it to the next level by stating that she never expected that Lynch would be rooting for her to win the match.

In the process, she also gave a perfect nickname for the former Intercontinental Champion. She wrote, “Aww, I didn’t know you were rooting for me, Barata Becky, I got you next time, brujita.”
