WWE Star Reflects On Competing At Elimination Chamber With Health Issue

WWE

A WWE star has shared an emotional reflection on working today’s WWE Elimination Chamber event with a health issue.

Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Raquel Rodriguez made her surprise return on this week’s Raw show, earning her spot in the Elimination Chamber match in Perth earlier today.

Raquel had been off television due to being diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome, which she is still in the process of battling.

Taking to Instagram following the show, Raquel reflected on her trip to Australia, and competing on the show during her ongoing battle with MCAS.

She wrote:

If you had told me that on the long flight to Perth Australia for the first time it was gonna blow my face up and turn me the same color as my pink satin pillow case (might have been the makeup on Monday too) I would have still jumped on that flight! Maybe my trip didn’t go as planned but I’m still learning this new body of mine. A big part of being a female Wrestler for WWE is getting to sit in that makeup chair with our amazing makeup team who I love so much and getting to get dolled up. It’s part of being a girl. It’s part of feeling fully the part. At the end of the night, I’m proud I went out there Alicia Keys style. Even if this trip didn’t go as planned I am still grateful that I was blessed to be in Elimination Chamber in Perth Australia with 5 other talented women! And I got to hug a koala bear so it was a win for me 😍 thank you so much to the lovely Vanessa of @lymphaticmassageperth for seeing me last minute 3 times to help me feel my best for the chamber. Your grace, kindness and knowledge was a Godsend 🙏🏼

Thank you to @westozwildlife for the hugs and animal love! A big thank you to the entire WWE medical team! And so much love to my family & friends for the late and early phone calls, prayers and constantly checking on me 🫶🏼 los amo! On to a long flight home ✈️ 🤞🏼
