Raquel Rodriguez is moving on in the Queen of the Ring tournament, winning a Fatal Four-Way match on this week’s WWE Smackdown. The first match on Friday night’s episode saw Rodriguez, Bayley, Kiana James, and Jacy Jayne do battle to determine which of them would make it to the semifinals of the tournament.

Near the end of the match, James rolled Bayley up and put her feet off the ropes for leverage, but Jayne pushed them off. James saw that Giulia was there and believed that she was the person who did so. Bayley hit a Rose Plant on James, only to be laid out with a Rolling Encore. Jayne got up into a big boot from Rodriguez. The Judgment Day member then grabbed James and hit a Tejana Bomb on James to get the pinfall victory.

You can see highlights from the WWE Smackdown match below. Rodriguez will face IYO SKY in the semifinals. SKY defeated Roxanne Perez, Giulia, and Lash Legend on WWE Raw to punch her ticket to the semis.
