Raquel Rodriguez Claims She’s on Her Rise, Says Anyone Who Gets in Front of the Big Sexy Train Is Going To Get Run Over

During a recent interview with Raw Recap this week, WWE Superstar Raquel Rodriguez discussed pulling off her double elimination pin at WWE Elimination Chamber over the weekend, and how Megan Morant compared it to Roman Reigns’ stacked double-pin at WrestleMania 37. Rodriguez also explained on how she’s on her rise at the moment. Below are some highlights:

“And look at the power that man has. Look at the position that man is in. You see what a double pin can do for someone? I am on my rise right now. No one is getting in front of the Big Sexy train, that’s for sure, because if you do, you’re gonna get run over!”

On Recognizing That She’s on Her Rise at the Moment

“I can’t pinpoint a significant moment, to be honest with you. There’s not one moment that springs to my memory as, ‘That was the moment! I knew I had to change.’ It’s really been a progression over the past year. Coming back from my illness, not feeling very confident, but every week, I get an opportunity to show everyone why I belong on this roster, why I belong on Monday Night Raw, why I am Big Sexy Raquel Rodriguez, and every week, someone else has something great to say about me. And I’m just like, ‘Well, it’s about time.’ Everybody just realizes this is what I’ve been showing and proving to you guys the entire time. I just needed my moment and my opportunity. Now, I’m just taking my moments and my opportunity.

“Elimination Chamber, I was in my element. There’s nothing I love more than being inside a cage and throwing women against it. For this six-woman match, I don’t know if it’s a gauntlet match, I don’t know if it’s all six of us at one time, but either way, I thrive in chaos. I thrive when it comes to having multiple women at my fingertips for me to just think of insane things to do to them. And for some reason, I’ve just been fed these perfect moments and perfect opportunities for me to just eat everyone alive. And sure, maybe I lost at Elimination Chamber, but at the end of the day, I’m standing here, ready to go again. Can I say the same for Rhea Ripley, who might be hurting a little more than usual? Can I say the same for Asuka, who’s also in this multiple women’s match, but I Tejana Bombed and was part of the double-stack of women, which I believe is a first time ever for Elimination Chamber to have a double elimination. So let’s make sure we get someone to write that in the history books. Raquel Rodriguez. And make sure they spell it with multiple Rs for the beginning and for the last name as well.”

On Responding to Criticism by Smashing Everyone

“I’ve always considered myself a woman of action. Words are words, but they only mean so much. When you put action to those words, that’s when it has more meaning. That’s when it’s more believable, and I just let it go. I said, ‘I don’t need to open this beautiful mouth. I’m just going to show you what this strong, beautiful, powerful, tall, amazing, just great at everything woman can do out there.’ And that’s the type of confidence I’ve been carrying into every single match, every single week.”

Raquel Rodriguez competes in a No. 1 Contenders Gauntlet Match next week on WWE Raw against Iyo Sky, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Ivy Nile, and Asuka. The winner will go on to challenge AJ Lee for the title at a later date.

Next week’s Monday Night Raw is being held at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. The show will air live on Netflix starting at 8:00 pm ET.
