WWE Superstar Raquel Rodriguez suffered a loss on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW. However, Big Mami Cool shared a social media update to tout a major achievement despite the setback.

The 33-year-old locked horns in an "Anything Goes" Match against arch-rival Rhea Ripley. The two former NXT Women's Champions traded blows in a highly engaging back-and-forth contest. At one point, Liv Morgan entered the squared circle and hit The Eradicator with The Oblivion.

The Women's World Champion's challenger for this Saturday, IYO SKY, showed up to take her out of the equation. After scrapping for a while, Rhea Ripley hit her opponent with a Riptide through a table to secure the win. After the show, Raquel put aside her loss and posted an Instagram Story to express her gratitude for main eventing RAW.

"My first singles in over a year and I Main Evented RAW🤯🤯🤯 God is good🙌," she wrote.

Although Raquel Rodriguez noted that it was her first singles match in over a year, her last one-on-one contest was earlier this year on the February 26 edition of the red brand's show. The former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion squashed Chelsea Green in under two minutes.

Raquel Rodriguez opens up about 'the hardest part' of her life

Raquel Rodriguez was absent from WWE television for seven months due to mast cell activation syndrome. She made her return at Bad Blood to take out Rhea Ripley and help Liv Morgan retain the Women's World Championship.

In an interview with Steven Muehlhausen on The Takedown on SI, Raquel opened up about her illness, referring to it as the hardest part of her life. She explained how it affected her confidence.

"It was definitely the hardest part of my life because it was like everything just crumbled at once. First, I'm getting a rash on my skin, so I'm looking in the mirror and I'm not recognizing who I'm seeing. And I'm going out in public because I'm still trying to wrestle, and I'm still trying to be a part of this company, but I can feel people looking at me, and my confidence was starting to wane on me. I was just not feeling good at all being in public areas or talking to people," she said. [From 6:06 - 6:33]

Raquel Rodriguez has been in Liv Morgan's corner since returning to WWE. It will be interesting to see if she plays any substantial role in the Women's World Champion's title defense against IYO SKY at Saturday Night's Main Event.
