Raquel Rodriguez is excited ahead of the Women's WarGames match.
Rodriguez previously scored the win for her team in the Women's WarGames Match at NXT TakeOver" WarGames 2020. Years later, she will team up with Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae to face Bianca Belair, Naomi, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and Bayley in the Women's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series.
Speaking with Graham "GSM" Matthews for WrestleRant Radio, Raquel Rodriguez was asked about competing in the WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series years after her memorable performance in NXT.
“It really is [the same situation]. I thought about that the other day when I saw some old pictures of the WarGames when I powerbombed IYO through a ladder, which was absolutely insane to me. But it almost inspired me. I’m like, this is kind of the same mix of the team, we’re all guys again, IYO’s on that team and we have Rhea [Ripley] on that team too. This is gonna be, I don’t want to hint to them that, ‘Hey guys, I know what’s gonna happen,’ but I have a good idea of what they’re gonna try and do, so I think we’re coming in very prepared. I’m very excited for our team," Rodriguez said.
Likewise, Rodriguez was asked whether the WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series was a full-circle moment, and she agreed that it was. She stated that it would be an opportunity to prove herself against several top stars.
“Oh 100%, it is. At the moment, of course, I’m not going after Liv’s title. I would not do that to my sister. I’m here to help her keep that title as long as possible. I know Nia’s gonna take her title back to SmackDown, but it definitely still fuels my fire to want to win this and to prove something against all of those champions, ex-champions on the other team. I’m very excited. This could open many possibilities for how dominating we can be. Now that we have the new IC Title that just got introduced, that’s a huge opportunity for anyone who gets the opportunity to wrestle in that tournament and win that title. So I’m just looking forward to us going out there and having a really great showing and then coming home victorious," Rodriguez said.
During the interview, Rodriguez discussed her absence and her return to WWE. Check out her comments here.
