Sol Ruca is getting backup against Judgment Day on Monday’s WWE RAW in Norfolk, Virginia.
In his usual pre-show announcement, Adam Pearce confirmed that Ruca will pick a mystery partner to take on Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
WWE hasn’t revealed who the partner will be, but IYO SKY stands out as the most logical candidate.
SKY lost to Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan at SummerSlam after interference from Rodriguez and Perez. She’s also previously come to Ruca’s aid against Judgment Day, giving the two a clear connection.
There’s a much more surprising possibility in the mix, though, and it’s Lola Vice.
Who will it be?🤔

2:46 PM · Aug 9, 2026Vice seemingly wrapped up her NXT run last Tuesday and also departed AAA after losing the Mixed Tag Team Championship. Bryan Alvarez had previously reported that the former NXT Women’s Champion was being called up to the main roster, though SmackDown was initially viewed as the more likely landing spot.
Vice and Ruca also share plenty of history from NXT, where they teamed together in trios matches.
Stephanie Vaquer would be another natural fit after returning last Monday to attack Rodriguez and Perez, but she’s already announced separately to cut a promo in the ring during RAW.
All things considered, IYO SKY looks like the strongest pick based on the current storyline. If WWE wants to use the match as a surprise NXT call-up, Lola Vice is the name to watch.
