SmackDown Star Teases ‘Extreme’ Character Change

WWE

Raquel Rodriguez has shared her honest opinion on her WWE run so far, noting that she wants to show fans a different side of her.

Rodriguez is one of WWE’s rising stars. Following a dominant NXT run which saw her hold the NXT Women’s and NXT Women’s Tag titles, Rodriguez joined the SmackDown roster in April 2022.

Since her main roster debut, Rodriguez has been proving herself as a potential top star, and had a very brief WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship reign, lasting just two weeks.

Speaking on  WWE After The Bell, Rodriguez noted that she has so many more layers she wants to show her WWE fans.

Teasing a hardcore persona, Rodriguez said:

“I think the WWE Universe has a lot to look forward to because I’m just getting started. I feel like you guys have only seen one layer of Raquel Rodriguez.

“There’s just so many more that I want to bring out. I want to bring out the bad side of Raquel Rodriguez, I want to bring out the hardcore side of Raquel Rodriguez, I want to bring out the extreme Raquel Rodriguez.

“There’s just so much more that I want to do on SmackDown and on Raw and in general in WWE. I’m just so excited that this is the beginning of my journey, and it’s not even close to being over, which is kind of scary too.”

It was previously reported that Rodriguez was set to challenge Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Royal Rumble.

This was before WWE reportedly changed plans for for the event, and before Rousey dropped the gold to Charlotte Flair in late-December.

Rodriguez is slated to compete in the women’s Royal Rumble bout. Check out the announced line-up for the match right here.
