Raquel Rodriguez has delivered one of the most candid character assessments of her WWE career, explaining in detail why the current heel version of herself operating within The Judgment Day feels more true to who she actually is than the powerful babyface role she previously occupied. Speaking to the Michael Fairman Channel, Rodriguez reflected on both chapters of her main roster career before landing on a conclusion that carries genuine personal conviction.
“It was an interesting time when they had me in that badass supergirl era. If anyone was going to be Wonder Woman on WWE, it would be Raquel Rodriguez. I did like it. It was fun, getting to be a good guy, being able to hug kids and interact with them in a nice way and know that they look up to me that way. But there’s something about being this Raquel Rodriguez that feels like the most authentic version to myself — even though I don’t think I’m like this. I like children, yes. I’m not gonna yell at you guys. But I like to tease and I like to have fun with every situation, and so this version of Raquel Rodriguez, she is a badass and that’s me in real life,” Rodriguez said.
Raquel Rodriguez Says Her Natural Humor Has Given Her a New Light as a Heel That She Does Not Want to Give Up
The specific quality Rodriguez identifies as the key to her current character’s authenticity is not the villainy but the humor — and that distinction matters. “Me being the jokester that I am and just being me has really given me a new light, and I just love her more, and I don’t want to go back to the cool supergirl that I was.” Rodriguez has been a central part of The Judgment Day alongside WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, with the faction riding significant momentum following Morgan’s title win over Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
