Raquel Rodriguez Says She Had No Bad Experiences With Ronda Rousey And That She Cared About The WWE Women’s Division

Raquel Rodriguez talks Ronda Rousey.

At SummerSlam, Ronda Rousey lost to Shayna Baszler in an MMA rules match that many fans were unimpressed with. After the match, Rousey cast doubt on her future in WWE on social media.

During her second run in WWE that may be now over, Rousey went one on one with Rodriguez as well as in tag team matches. While Raquel would challenge Ronda with singles gold on the line, she could not win outside their tag team bouts.

Speaking to Eat, Sleep, Podcast, Repeat, Rodriguez was asked about her experiences with Rousey.

“Ronda carries herself like a superstar. Ronda is great. I’ve had no bad experiences with Ronda. I think she’s also been very willing to put herself into a business that she doesn’t have much knowledge in, but she’s also been willing to help the rest of us along the way too, and elevate a lot of the women in the division. She wants a lot for the women in the division, I’ll say that. She does care about the women’s division for WWE,”

“I was very proud of the two matches we had for the women’s titles. It’s really great to work with someone like Ronda because she’s such an amazing athlete. Stepping in the ring with her is very intimidating in itself, but having someone who moves differently and has a different mentality almost makes you want to step up your game and be creative. You have to step out of your box when you’re facing someone like Ronda. It was a lot of fun for me, too,”

Rousey of course main evented WrestleMania 35 along with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

It is unknown if she will make a return to WWE programming in the future.
