Raquel Rodriguez gives credit to the legendary enforcer of DX.
Chyna was very much a product of her environment in the Attitude Era as she would often interact with men in order to assist DX.
Now, the powerful women of WWE freely take on the men, with Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez leading that charge on Monday Night RAW.
For example, at WWE Payback, both women had their time to layout the men as Ripley put Kevin Owens through a barricade while Raquel slammed Dominik Mysterio.
Speaking to Jessica Kleinschmidt on Short and to the Point, Raquel was asked about Chyna’s influence.
“It was inspiring, it really was, because she had so many feuds with men as well. For me, she solidified that idea of ‘we can hang with the boys too.’ When I was watching her growing up, I was always playing basketball, and I would go and play against the boys. I think that’s helped me invaluable as well because it’s helped me up my level everything. Even at the Performance Center, getting to be in a male class like Scotty 2 Hotty’s and getting to soak in all of his experience and knowledge and working with other young men who have years of experience over me and have so much knowledge, it was invaluable information and such amazing learning that I wish I could one day give to someone else. It has really helped me in my career and my performance overall,”

Rodriguez would lose to Ripley at Payback but is scheduled for a rematch for the Women’s World Title on next week’s Monday Night RAW.
