  We explore the effect of relic gravitational waves on the primordial phase
change from the quark-gluon plasma into the low density hadron gas that
occurred approximately $10^{-5}$s after the beginning. We show that the
gravitational wave, through doing work on the fluid, modulates the local
volumes, causing a pressure modulation which either suppresses or boosts the
bubble cavitation rate. The boosted rate is significant, implying that the
phase transition could have occurred earlier than if this interaction is not
considered.
