Raquel Rodriguez Appears At NXT Heatwave, Costs Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio Their Mixed Tag Match

Raquel Rodriguez wants payback, and she’s not waiting for WWE Payback. 

Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio were in action at NXT Heatwave against Lyra Valkyria & Dragon Lee. Toward the end of the match, Ripley was ready to tag in and save Mysterio from further damage when she was attacked by her opponent for WWE Payback, Raquel Rodriguez, who was making her return to WWE NXT. 

Unfortunately for Dominik, this left him susceptible to being pinned by Dragon Lee without his Mami to save him.
