But Raquel Rodriguez stole that shot. Bella ruined that match, leaving only one option. The three women will meet in a triple threat for the top women&#8217;s title on WWE Raw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are hellbent on not being as trash tag champs as the team they won the titles from &#8211; The Judgement Day. But their strategy of defending the straps against any and all comers could get them into trouble. They meet the greatest tag team of all time &#8211; The Usos &#8211; this week. But Jimmy and Jey are yet to fully find their groove since they reformed. So perhaps AJ and Lee were wise to agree to take them on now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rey Mysterio has found himself catapulted into the WWE Raw main event scene thanks to his rivalry with The Vision. The Vision will open the show. Austin Theory &#8211; who is still trying to earn a place in the faction &#8211; will take on Mysterio. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lose, and he can wish his chances goodbye.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Dzqv3Lz7Dc\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/12\/08\/otis-maxxine-dupri-star-in-must-see-snickers-christmas-advert\/\" target=\"_self\">Otis &#038; Maxxine Dupri Star In Must-See Snickers Christmas Advert<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Otis &#038; Maxxine Dupri Star In Must-See Snickers Christmas Advert&#8221; &#8212; Last Word on Pro Wrestling\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/12\/08\/otis-maxxine-dupri-star-in-must-see-snickers-christmas-advert\/embed\/#?secret=pxGJq0mZSC#?secret=Dzqv3Lz7Dc\" data-secret=\"Dzqv3Lz7Dc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<section class=\"mb-12\">\n<div class=\"max-w-4xl mx-auto\"><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Rhea Ripley and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
