Raquel Rodriguez

[0.0] "She improved a lil but she's kinda over pushed she isn't really that good the crowd doesnt seem to connect with her she's mid on the ring and she barely have good promos she probably would have gotten released if she didn't join judgement day"

"In WWE, the greatest pro wrestling company, only should be the best, even if it's midcards. And if you aren't the best wrestler, at least you should be good in promos and have charisma. I'm sorry but Raquel doesn't have any of those. There are many in other companies and many others in NXT who are still waiting for her turn to shine."

[2.0] "She changed her gimmick from "I can smile and show you my back" to at least working like a powerhouse but still no real personality or charisma. She doesn't have what it takes to be a major star or main event regular."

[4.0] "Raquel Rodriguez has got to be one of the most overpushed people in the women's division right now. While she has improved a bit and her in ring work has gone from bad to meh, everything about her is just so average. I'm not a fan of her promos and she's one of the least charismatic superstars they have. I can't believe they've given her 4 world title matches over the last 3 months. It's the typical WWE jumping the shark whenever there's even the slightest improvements. You can tell who they want to succeed and who they don't."

[6.0] "She's okay in the ring, displaying her impressive strength and having pretty good chemistry against the cruiserweights in the women's division. The main issue I personally have with Raquel is that her presentation as a powerhouse is pretty generic with moves that don't particularly stand out compared to her peers. She can still improve."

[8.0] "At some point Raquel went from being a pretty serviceable talent with a very bland character, to a very good wrestler with a great heel persona which she does a great job of portraying. She's got a good sense for in ring psychology, she carries herself well, and now that she's started working to her size, she comes across as a real powerhouse. A real levelling up over the past year or so, and it hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet."

[2.0] "A boring wrestler, bland gimmick, nothing special, no particular talent, her only traits are arrogance and being a run-of-the-mill powerhouse, and on top of that, she's in that insipid Judgment Day faction, which only makes her even more uninteresting. She needs a radical change, otherwise she will never stand out."

[5.0] "She is such a mid wrestle here i mean she is power house in wwe she is very strong but i dont see talent or skill in Raquel power is norhing without skills or talent and the problem in Raquel she dont have talent or skills either but she had sone good matches and good title reings in her career"

[3.0] "She's a truly boring and charisma-less wrestler; the push she's getting now is baffling. Neither her in-ring skills, which seem to have worsened on the main roster, nor her microphone skills stand out."

[7.0] "She's about average as a worker really. I think she's ok on the mic and I'm liking that they are trying to put her in the title scene. She's very gorgeous and she's really tall. She's a bit bland in the ring but it's not bad either."

[7.0] "She is a much better heel than a smiling babyface in my opinion. In the ring she is pretty good but still has room to grow and is the same on the mic. UPDATE: She has had a great 2025 showing a ton of improvement"

[7.0] "It's unfortunate that it worked out that way but Liv Morgan's injury has done wonders for Raquel. The additional focus put on her and a change in style has allowed her to demonstrate that's she's capable of a lot more and was able to put on a great match with Rhea and a great match alongside Roxy against Bliss/Flair at Summerslam. Seeing real improvement from her will be interesting to see where she takes this from here."

[6.0] "She's making a LOT of improvements and improving her style/output at a high rate over the last 12 months (written in September of 2025)."

[8.0] "Raquel taking Kevin Nash's advice to stop "working so small" and instead wrestle like a big powerhouse has made a world of difference. I feel like she might've been hurt by just being Liv's lackey and needing to look kinda weak against Rhea in Rhea's feud with Liv, but now that she's being allowed to be a significant presence and is wrestling like it, she's gotten so much better to watch. I thoroughly enjoy her matches, she's getting more personality in segments, and she brings something not many other women on the roster can. I can't wait for Liv to return from her injury, but I hope that doesn't come at the cost of pushing Raquel back into the role she had before (though she still had occasional great matches then too, like her bout with Rhea). Within the style of wrestling she's now embracing, she's genuinely great. Underrated talent."

[9.0] "Raquel has made vast improvements since the advice from Kevin Nash and the injury of Liv. Her stature actually means something now, and she has a far more intimidating presence while also upping her game in promos and backstage segments. She was at a point where she could sink or swim, and boy did she swim. Kudos."

[4.0] "Despite having a 10+ year career in wrestling, Raquel still comes across like she's still quite green in-ring. Which isn't great considering she's 34 years old and should have the in-ring confidence by now. She comes across quite goofy/clumsy in-ring, and a lot of the things she does is overly safe. She doesn't really have any charisma about her and the fans don't care whether she's there or not. She has a good look, but that's about it. WWE have put a little bit of faith in her and have tried a few times to try and make her be a strong name in the women's division, but it just isn't working out. Can't see her getting better, she doesn't have the "it" about her to be anything other than "meh.""

[8.0] "She's been finally shown for what she is and I'm impressed by her A badass powerhouse with quite interesting arsenal. I love her character and she's been underrated and under-utilized all the way, but hopefully no more. I like her face mimics and her gimmick hahah. Her performance in Evolution and Crown Jewel had impressed me big-time. Decent as a mid-carder."

[8.0] "Hell of a start to 2025 for Raquel Rodriguez. Some standout performances in tag matches teaming with Liv Morgan, used more as a heater or muscle than the team leader, but playing her part more than well enough. Truly on her way to being back to her best after a bit of a rough 2024"

[4.0] "Decent in the ring but has next to no charisma.she feels really out of her element in the Shawn and Diesel thing with Liv right now. Every time I see her looking like a biker with those shades all I can is that she looks like a bad undercover cop."

[3.0] "Raquel isn't good, she can be a fine base for smaller opponents, and can sometimes even be a good tag worker. But most of the time she's very sloppy and frequently forgets spots. Never understood why she's gotten pushed so hard. Her height is the only thing that makes her stand out."

[9.0] "Raquel Rodriguez is a powerhouse who deserves more flowers than she gets. She's dependable, improving, and brings something to the table that few women in WWE can match right now. The division is better with her in it. Raquel is a throwback to when wrestling had believable monsters who didn't need to be overexposed on the mic. She brings credibility, presence, and can make smaller opponents look like underdogs just by standing across the ring from them. And when the bell rings, she delivers hard-hitting, clean, and safe matches that make everyone look better. She brings size, power, athleticism, and presence to a division that often leans too heavily on the same faces and styles. Her power moves look legit, her timing continues to improve, and her smile-while-dominating act, while polarizing to some, gives her a distinct character in a sea of generic tough girls. She plays her role and plays it well."

[5.0] "She's totally compentent in the ring, but nothing she seems to do stands out. Very impressive look though!"

[8.0] "I can totally see her as a good midcarder in the future. It was a great idea to team her up with Liv Morgan. I know she might not be the non plus ultra in the ring, but I see a lot of potential and I'm genuinely intrigued on how her career will go on!"

[3.0] "I never understood the hype some people have for her. I always found her to be bland and boring in the ring. Even when she was in NXT I never understood it. You can see it now with how little of a reaction she gets from anyone that she just doesn't have it."

[5.0] "She is ok, I never saw her as a superstar, although she has given few matches of any worth talking about in her catalogue of fights, now she is a bad bodyguard and she is lost in the middle of nowhere, I hope she improves more in herself."

[2.0] "Liked her matches in 2021 and 2022 but since then she's fallen off for me. Her move-set is now just a very generic powerhouse move-set (probably my least favorite style). They've tried pushing her repeatedly but it just feels forced, she's not interesting in the ring or out of it. No charisma, no personality, there's just nothing special about her right now. I'd get past her generic move-set if her selling wasn't absolutely horrible as well. They've put her in matches against top tier women like Ripley, Iyo, Kairi, & Bianca and she still hasn't looked good despite how amazing those four are. At least with Liv, i see potential in her and can see her developing into something more. Raquel just hasn't shown any flashes to convince me she'll be any better than this."

[1.0] "I originally rated Raquel much higher, but ever since she came back from recovering from mast cell activation syndrome, shes really been struggling in-ring as well as with her character. That said, after seeing that even Iyo and Kairi couldnt carry and help Raquel look good, Im not sure anything can help her at this point. Shes kinda just there now, from being a powerhouse in NXT to being someone who showed off her back 24/7, to whatever shes doing now, shes really declined by a lot, with no hope of improving."

[2.0] "She's just really poor. Generic WWE Powerhouse working style, absolutely no charisma at all, no personality or character other than flexing her physique despite there being so many other women in WWE with more impressive muscles. The non-existent crowd response she got when she returned and that she botched it tells you everything you need to know. Admittedly I haven't seen any of her NXT work where she apparently was a credible heel but I'm only judging her main roster stuff. She has been in the WWE system since 2016 and with the level she's in terms of mic/ring skills, I just don't think she has what it takes. Doesn't help that she's a Latina that supports Donald Trump/The Republican Party which just tells me you're a stupid fucking twat. I would not care if she was released tomorrow"

[5.0] "She has awesome size and potential and she showed that while she was on the NXT roster. Her run on the main roster hasn't been as fruitful. She won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship once with Aliyah and later twice with Liv Morgan until an Mast cell activation syndrome diagnosis stalled her career somewhat. She's only 33 so hopefully she's able to return and get things back on track"

[4.0] "Raquel Rodriguez is pretty much the "mid-card giant" in that she can move to tag team after tag team and be successful, as well as contend for singles gold, but is mostly just a perennial challenger, that can be hotshoted into a title feud at anytime. But otherwise, she's mostly in tag action and the occasional singles match. Her character barely stands out compared to some of the larger characters on the women's roster. She's a serviceful mid card talent, but is not old enough to be the gatekeeper of the division. Her injury issues might cause a early end to her career (hope that isnt the case). I'd put her at a 4, mostly due to her not winning any singles title."

[2.0] "Raquel is a 5x Tag Team champion (NXT & Main Roster) yet she is the least memorable part of all of these reigns. Aliyah, Liv & Dakota all outsold her and are far better in-ring than her and have more charisma and character (yes even Aliyah). Since she's been on the main roster she's just not been that important of a character in other people's stories and I don't think she will amount to a big figure in the women's division. She still has no character even after nine years of wrestling, sorry but smiling and flexing your back muscles isn't a character... She's had a few good matches, but I feel like they were mostly carried by her opponents. If she gets an actual character and maybe a heel turn then I think Raquel will get more over with the fans and be a bigger star that they want her to be."

[8.0] "Raquel Rodriguez was, at the time of Iyo Shirai's NXT reign, the only woman credible to dethrone her. His teaming up with Dakota Kay started from nothing and became one of the best things on the show at the time. Their team, NXT's first tag team champions, had good chemistry. His rivalry with Rhea Ripley, with superb writing, offered two excellent matches, including a thunderous extreme rules. Her reign as NXT Champion, while slightly lacking in competition and a bit short, was fun to watch. Raquel was dominant and charismatic. Unfortunately, and despite very cool in-ring qualities which make her a very good powerhouse, her smiling Latina gimmick quite frankly lacks intensity. I don't understand why they didn't leave her with her previous character. I hope that things will change and that she will be part of an interesting storyline to reshuffle the cards and give her a real chance to shine."

[3.0] "Raquel Rodriguez is the perfect definition of a generic face. Flat on all boards a generic powerhouse, no gimmick, poor microphone skills who makes the perfect meaning for 'vanilla'. From what I have seen with her booking, she seems to be weirdly gifted opportunities by Triple H, sort of a slight obsession potentially. She is just a boring wrestler who is in my opinion the perfect television turner or for a bathroom break."

[3.0] "It has been mentioned ad infinitum but her whole personality seems to be that she has a back. I try to like her, and she does have the physique to seem like a threat, but everything I have heard from her promos and everything I've seen from her in the circle is an absolute snoozefest.I do think that it might be a bit of a direction thing, because she has shown flashes of intensity in her personality, but not nearly enough to justify her overexposure on weekly shows. She could definitely develop in to a complete package but as of right now I can't really rate her high."

[5.0] "It's genuinely amazing how Raquel can have the entire package; she's tall, massive, attractive, is a consistent worker, regularly giving out decent, sometimes really engaging matches, and is a good promo every once in a while. But then because she has the most generic entrance I've ever seen, manages to ruin all the intrigue with her. She would benefit greatly from being a heel or a tweener. Even just giving the character a bit more edge and some changing of her graphics and music would do wonders for her."

[5.0] "Raquel Rodriguez is an average powerhouse wrestler. She still has a lot of potential in the future . As of now, I think she is quite average in the ring, alright in the mic, but lacks any character or charisma. She has to improve on in order to become a main eventer like Rhea Ripley or Bianca belair. I give her a 5/10 as of now."

"Kind of bored with the direction they are going with her. She had tons of upside but I feel that with triple h things have gotten stagnant since the covid era. I believe that some sort of reignite story line could propel her back into a good position but its hard with this level of booking"

[4.0] "Bored of Raquel now. Her in ring ability is nothing special, and she often slows matches down to a grind. When going up against a fellow powerhouse, matches can become super dull. Her character work is also quite boring, with her gimmick being that she...has a huge back?"

[6.0] "Has plenty of potential. Great look and decent worker, though she's very generic as a character and ultimately forgettable because of that. Would love to see a heel turn that pushes her character work to another level, but in her current form I cannot justify a higher rating."

[5.0] "She definitely has that look and has potential to be a main event player that the Womens Division desperately needs, but right now she REALLY needs a new character and fast. Right now, all Im getting for her gimmick is that she smiles (a lot), and likes to flex her back. Nothing too special about her character as of now."

[8.0] "Raquel is one of the best the womens devision currently has. She isnt the most charasmatic, but her work is better than almost everyone this lackluster womens devision of today has. A great contender for the womens heavyweight championship, just would be better in a team with Zelina in the LWO. If she were a silent non smiling enforcer like she was more of in NXT she would for sure have a higher rating."

[7.0] "I think she's serviceable as both a heel and a face. She's certainly charismatic, works a unique style (there aren't too many big women if you look at women's wrestling) and can have a good match on a good day."

[7.0] "Has a lot of potential. I think her best years are yet to come in WWE. She's got a lot of upside and can have decent matches."

[8.0] "I Ve High adpectative on her, in the future I think She 'll be a champion. She also pulled up a good match from Rousey. ***3/4"

[5.0] "I had high hopes for Raquel a few years ago. But unless she's being carried by a much better wrestler, she is kind of boring between the ropes. Don't get me wrong she has a stunning and imposing look and has some cool power moves. One of HHH's weirder decisions in NXT (besides the Leon Ruff push) was booking Raquel as women's champ. It should've been Dakota Kai! Her reign was mediocre. Of course Mandy Rose's horrific reign makes Raquel's seem alright, but even at the tail end of black & gold she was sorely missing something that previous champs had. Her main roster run has been so-so. Predictably booked as an unstoppable force, but so far nothing she does gives you much reason to sit up and take note. Her constant and forced smiling onscreen is clearly the hand of main roster management imposing their outdated views of what a face should do."

[8.0] "Raquel Rodriguez a good Latin wrestler with talent and a future in the industry she He has already won some championships in NXT, he will surely win more on the Main Roster"

[7.0] "Raquel Gonzalez, now known as Rodriguez, is very impressive. She brings a perfect mix of strength and athletic ability to every match she is a part of. She can cut a fine, if rather dry, promo. She excels as a heel and feels forced as a face. She has a decent catalog of good matches under her belt, and she can only go up from here. I like what I've seen thus far."

[4.0] "The greatest trick Triple H ever pulled was convincing me that Raquel was a decent world champion. The booking and the choice of opponents made her ring remarkably solid, even though she lacked charisma. Great matches with Io, Dakota and Ember. Dropped it to the right opponent too. No complaints about that reign. Since going to the main roster, she has looked overwhelmingly incompetent, incapable of hitting basic moves or functioning step by step in the ring. I have no idea what miracle HHH pulled with her, but hopefully someone working on Smackdown can find that precise concoction again, since she needs to improve badly."

[3.0] "Initially I gave her a 5 but man she just sucks all the air out of the room whenever she wrestles. Boring as hell, in the ring, out of it."

[5.0] "She's good in spots and has a look but unfortunately just seems average. She doesn't have anything that separates herself from other women her size. She's also lacking a lot on the mic and charismatically isn't interesting. She has gotten better and maybe she will develop into something special but her run as a babyface has really set her back. It's early on the main roster and she has a look that could get her pushed but I struggle to find her entertaining at much of anything. She's talented to put it all together though and she will hopefully go back to being a heel, which is where she found her best success."
