Raquel Rodriguez on Judgment Day Existing Longer Than The Shield and Evolution in WWE

“It’s a legacy being a part of the Judgment Day. It’s a legacy at this point. So once you’re in, you’re in. You’re a legend. That’s it, game over.”

On How Fans Will Remember The Judgment Day

“I think they’re going to remember us for all of it. For the good, the bad, the amazing characters, the amazing memories that we’ve been able to have, even just with each iteration of how Judgment Day was, even the great interactions between all of us when we were good guys and bad guys. I don’t know how many times I’ve wrestled Rhea when she was a part of Judgment Day. It’s insane. Even Dominik. I think I body slammed Dominik at one point. There was a moment where I didn’t like him, but now he’s my brother. So that’s what Judgment Day will be remembered for is always having that family tie.”

On Hitting John Cena with Her Finisher at Survivor Series 2025

“Oh man, I think it started back in high school when I saw John Cena live and I developed a crush for him. Then I was like, I bought the inflatable hands. You guys remember the can’t see me hand with the movable fingers. Yeah, I definitely bought that. I remember hearing because I am from the border, which is a very small town. So I remember hearing he went to Whataburger down in Hidalgo, and I was like, he loves Whataburger too. Oh my God, he’s the best.”

“But then I started to really grow and learn from John Cena and see how he worked and his amazing trajectory with WWE and everything that he was able to accomplish, and then being put in the Judgment Day, and suddenly getting this moment of getting to be in a storyline with him and Dominik, and having an actual moment on a PLE with John Cena, all of that was just very, very mind-blowing. It’s crazy to like try and look back to that day and remember every single moment, but I do remember every single moment I had with him, from getting to learn under his wing, from getting to hear his thoughts, and even getting to pick him up in a Tejana bomb and slap him down-that was so cool! Oh my gosh, it was so full circle for me, and I was just very, very grateful that I got to be in that situation.”

WWE Survivor Series 2025 saw Dominik Mysterio beat John Cena to regain the WWE Intercontinental Title. Liv Morgan returned and interfered, helping Mysterio pick up the win.

During  last night’s WWE Raw, Raquel Rodriguez and her Judgment Day stablemates Roxanne Perez and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan beat the team of Chelsea Green, IYO SKY, and Tiffany Stratton.
