Raquel Rodriguez reflects on match with Ronda Rousey.
Raquel Rodriguez has had an eventful start to her WWE career. From the moment she first appeared in NXT, she has been treated as an imposing threat. Most recently, we witnessed the former NXT women’s champion take on Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown women’s championship. Rousey took to social media after the match to give Raquel major props for her talent.
Fans were impressed by Raquel Rodriguez’s performance in the match with Rousey. While speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Raquel Rodriguez talked about her match against Ronda Rousey. She called the match a mental battle throughout.
“I rank it at the top. If not number one then number two because I’ve had some pretty intense matches. I’ve had brawls with Rhea Ripley, I’ve had high-flying, long, scary matches with the IO Shirai that were just thrilling and then I’ve had this [against Ronda], which was just a mental battle the entire time. It was no longer about using things outside of the ring. It was just about me and where I was standing in that moment of time and where she was at in that moment of time, and just getting it done. So it’s definitely one of the top.”
