Raquel Rodriguez

[1.0] "I'm definitely on the harsher side of things, but I became very sour on Raquel Rodriguez over the course of late 2025 to early 2026. I felt like her in-ring work really had not improved, and I felt like her character work wasn't much better either. I've seen match after match of her having poor chemistry with her opponents, and it's sadly made Raquel one of my least favorite wrestlers in WWE right now."

[2.0] "Raquel is a tag team wrestler. Stop giving singles push, she's so overpushed and everytime she has a singles match it exposes her. There were improvements in her performance after the Kevin Nash criticism but she's still bland. Putting the Intercontinental title on her was a bad descision, it used to be defended on PLEs but now not even on raw."

[2.0] "Coming off of RAW #1728 where Sol Ruca defended her IC title against Raquel. It was a lackluster match thanks to Raquel, who moves like she's underwater, can't sell or hit her spots, and has no charisma or crowd connection. They are running a rematch on RAW #1731. Why? She did nothing to make Sol look better. God, Raquel as a champion would be so dull and dismal. Update: It's October and 3 months into her reign, Raquel has made exactly one defense of her IC title on Smackdown -- a rematch with Sol Ruca in July. WWE is booking her terribly, but if they had real faith in her she would be wrestling on TV."

[6.0] "Raquel has gotten better over the last year, I will give her that, but she's just very boring and uninspired in the ring. She doesn't have much charisma or character except for big strong woman. In today's WWE roster, she gets so easily lost in the shuffle, but Triple H refuses to let that happen because he has such a strong bias for her for some reason. She has gotten title opportunity after title opportunity and still hasn't proven why she should be in any title picture, regardless of world or midcard. Very boring, very forced, but a decent wrestler at least."

[2.0] "shes is so damn mid, like damn, she is not bad but she isnt good either because thats how mid you are. tall women like megan bayne and lena kross can do better than raquel simply because they can wrestle better and theyre also more fast paced- raquel doesn't have either of those things, hence why people call her dudquel. shes a literal dud."

[5.0] "The definition of absolute mediocrity. In my opinion the Raquel experiment has failed. When she first came on NXT as Dakota Kai's muscle she was a very intriguing prospect, under Raquel Gonzalez she was a much more respected wrestler, turning out good matches, decent promos, and she had an aura about her that made you excited to see her on the main roster. The re-brand and awful music killed her and while she did gain some momentum when she was introduced as Rhea's replacement of female muscle in the judgement day it wasn't enough to restore her to the promise she once had. Currently she's a decent in-ring performer that is capable of putting on a good match, but she'll never impress you. Her promos are not great either, and she has very little admirable character work, a lot of that is on her booking but her charisma less persona doesn't help with that either. She's not a bad wrestler but certainly not a good one either. 5/10 for me."

"She is as boring as it gets. Her time on main roster has been awful. Only time she was interesting when she was with Dakota in NXT and funnily enough she's in WWE while Dakota isn't. I really wonder sometimes, how WWE evaluation works. They seems to throw out decent wrestlers and keep most boring wrestlers. WWE creative is responsible for part of this problem too but Raquel is not that good herself. Mediocre wrestling, no mic talent and nil charisma."

[5.0] "Raquel definitely has the presence in the ring, but she doesn't come off as a powerhouse; she comes off as more a of brawler and maybe WWE should start focusing on brawler elements in contrast to big lifts because I would argue her friends Liv and Roxanne are physically stronger than Raquel. She struggles at lifting her opponents and doesn't have much visible arm strength. She does have size and weight, but when no muscle is present, WWE needs to leverage her weight into big striking hits instead, so she doesn't hurt herself or others in the ring."

[0.0] "raquel rodriguez is the nia jax of the raw brand- sloppy, botched, and very uninteresting. its amazing that triple H really has faith in this woman considering she made no impactful moment in her career and god knows when she would actually improve. it's really concerning that the women's division in the raw brand is actually in danger since there are more heels than the faces and the fact that TJD is still around is absolutely mind boggling."

[4.0] "Whenever I see there's anything coming up on a WWE show involving Raquel, my reaction is pretty much nothing. Not "let's see if she can put on a good match/promo", not "oh God, not Raquel"... just nothing. She's the type of wrestler that exists on the roster, can put on a match that doesn't completely suck, and not much more. Hopefully once she leaves her current faction she can find a way to improve, but I'm not exactly betting money on it."

[0.0] "she is hilariously bad alongside liv, I cannot believe Triple H thinks she would be the next top woman to get the WWE women's world championship and then later Triple H is trying to put this woman on the mid card scene of trying to get the Women's IC belt from Sol Ruca. the only good thing she is good at was only getting the tag team belts, because shes more of a tag team wrestler than as a singles wrestler. Her finisher is pure ass, like a one hand powerbomb? The woman needed both of her hands to lift up her opponent just call it a powerbomb. And her promos? pure shit, she is not good talker nor can back up her wrestling skills. it's amazing that this woman has 11 years of wrestling experience but she is green, sloppy, slow, and looks lost. sorry not sorry."

"Luchadora sobrevalorada por ser una power house, pero francamente es de la peores power que tiene wwe en la actualidad... el ser power no es sinónimo de ser campeona máxima, algo que wwe no entiende"

[4.0] "I'm sorry but Raquel is really not it. She has no personality as a wrestler and her being in a faction doesn't help, she isn't popular with the crowd, she isn't good at mic. The powerhouse gimmick is already exploited better with other woman, plus she managed to have absolutely zero heat in multiple European shows despite being the heel, and that's telling you something about how unengaging she is. From an in-ring perspective she is meh, It's not crazy but powerhouse rarely are anyways."

[7.0] "She's not usually my type of wrestler but I like Raquel, especially in tag team matches. When her and Liv are on their A-Game, they are great together, imo. In singles matches, it's very dependent on her opponent. And on the mic, I can't say I'm a fan. But I think she's a solid wrestler overall and definitely better now than a few years ago."

[5.0] "Not very good at all when she first started but, she's getting to a marginally good level since 2024 or so. Horrible on the mic but, thankfully her selling is getting better, dishing out more moves and is getting a little fluid in time but, she's generally still an average at best performer. But you can tell she tries and puts her heart into it, and I can't deny the improvements but, she's still a tad bit below average."

[3.0] "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. Triple H has tried getting her over for at least 5 years now, at some point you do have to wonder if the booker is at fault."

[4.0] "She has good height per say, she can be intimidating, but oh boy her in ring work and promos really do suck, and she really didn't get benefited when she defeated IYO as well, she just wrestles like she's in a developmental despite her decade experience, she has really yet to improve."

[6.0] "Decent power wrestler, good look, could improve at promos, improved in the ring in recent times, somewhat lacks intensity and charisma and she's an okay tag team wrestler. I haven't seen her wrestle as much lately. Overall she's not bad and definitely has her strengths, but not a must see either."

"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."

[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."

[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 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."

[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"
