WWE star Raquel Rodriguez clearly got a little too fired up during a segment on Monday's edition of Raw. The Judgment Day member has revealed via X that she literally broke the Women's World Title belt when attacking reigning champ Stephanie Vaquer on the stage.

This week's episode of Raw took place in Düsseldorf, Germany. During it, Vaquer was addressing Raquel's imminent challenge when Rodriguez attacked from behind and used the championship like a whip to punish Stephanie. Later, Raquel's post on X and Vaquer's own Instagram story (posted by fan accounts too) showed that part of the belt had been damaged during the skit.

Thankfully, this should be an easy enough fix for WWE top brass, but titles literally being broken isn't something that happens too often. In fact, it rarely happens at all even those belts have been used as weapons for decades. The humble 'belt shot' is nothing new to pro wrestling, and yet the actual championship itself typically comes away unscathed.

Not on this occasion during Monday's flagship, so Rodriguez must've put some force into swinging the thing around the place. She took the opportunity to stay in character on social media and "brag" about breaking Vaquer's prized possession. Meanwhile, Stephanie posted angry face emojis on Instagram when showing off the damage.

It's been reported that Vaquer is carrying an injury. She's been wearing an ankle boot for a few weeks now. However, she is expected to return to the ring shortly, which means WWE can motor towards Raquel's challenge/Steph's revenge for the broken title.
