[edit]

On February 16, 2020, at NXT TakeOver: Portland, under the ring name Raquel González, she interfered in a street fight between Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox by slamming Nox through a table, allowing Kai to win the match, establishing herself as a heel in the process.[12] González then became Kai's bodyguard, helping her win her matches.[13][14] González had her first pay-per-view match on June 7 at TakeOver: In Your House, where she, Kai, and Candice LeRae lost to Mia Yim, Nox and Shotzi Blackheart in a six-woman tag team match.[15] Afterwards, González went on a short hiatus, but returned on the August 19 episode of NXT, helping Kai attack NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai.[16] At NXT TakeOver XXX three days later, after Kai lost to Shirai, Rhea Ripley confronted González, beginning a rivalry between the two.[17] González lost to Ripley on October 28 at Halloween Havoc.[18] Kai and González aligned with LeRae and Toni Storm in November, resulting in a WarGames match against Blackheart, Ember Moon, Shirai, and Ripley on December 6 at NXT TakeOver: WarGames,[19] which González won after pinning Shirai.[20] At New Year's Evil on January 6, 2021, she defeated Ripley in a Last Woman Standing match, ending their feud.[21]

Kai and González took part in the inaugural Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating Aliyah and Jessi Kamea in the first round,[22] Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter in the semi-finals,[23] and Moon and Blackheart at Vengeance Day on February 14 to win the tournament.[24] As a result of their win, they received a match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler on March 3; the match ended in controversy, with Jax and Baszler retaining after Baszler submitted Kai despite her not being tagged in.[25] As a result, González and Kai were crowned the inaugural NXT Women's Tag Team Champions the following week, the first title in González's career; however, they would lose the titles 56 minutes later to Blackheart and Moon in their first title defense.[26][27]

On the September 28 episode of NXT, after retaining the title against Franky Monet, she was attacked by Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne).[34] The following week, a Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal match between González and Rose for the title was made for Halloween Havoc on October 26,[35] where she lost the NXT Women's Championship to Rose in a Trick or Street Fight due to the returning Kai's interference, ending her reign at 202 days.[36] On December 5 at WarGames, González, Cora Jade, Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray defeated Kai and Toxic Attraction in a WarGames match.[37] At New Year's Evil on January 4, 2022, González failed to regain the title in a triple threat match also involving Jade, who Rose pinned to retain the title.[38] González and Jade then took part in the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon in the first round,[39] but lost to Kai and Wendy Choo in the semi-finals on March 8 at Roadblock.[40]

On the March 29 episode of NXT, after Toxic Attraction took out Choo, Dakota Kai attacked the group and was assisted by a returning González, whom Kai embraced afterwards.[41] It was then announced that Kai and González would face Toxic Attraction members Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship during the pre-show of NXT Stand & Deliver on April 2,[42] in which they were successful in winning the titles.[43] Their first title defense was scheduled for the following episode of NXT,[44] where they lost the titles back to Toxic Attraction due to Mandy Rose's interference; this was González's final appearance in NXT.[45]

Rodriguez entered her first Royal Rumble match at the titular event on January 28, 2023, and eliminated Nia Jax, Lacey Evans, and Piper Niven before being eliminated by eventual winner Rhea Ripley.[61] At Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Rodriguez teamed with Liv Morgan to take part in the women's WrestleMania Showcase fatal four-way tag team match, which was won by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.[62] On the April 3 episode of Raw, Rodriguez teamed with Morgan to defeat Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky of Damage CTRL to become new number one contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, with the title match being scheduled for the following week against reigning champions Lita and Becky Lynch.[63] However, Lita was attacked backstage by an unknown assailant, and was replaced by Trish Stratus. Rodriguez and Morgan would go on to win and became the new champions.[64]

As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Rodriguez was drafted to the Raw brand.[65] On the May 19 episode of SmackDown, Rodriguez and Morgan vacated the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship due to Morgan suffering an injury, ending their first reign at 39 days.[66] On the May 29 episode of Raw, Rodriguez and her new tag team partner, Shotzi, failed to win the vacant titles.[67] On the June 19 episode of Raw, Rodriguez lost the qualifying match for the women's Money in the Bank ladder match to Trish Stratus by disqualification when Becky Lynch attacked Stratus halfway through the match.[68] On the June 23 episode of SmackDown, after reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler defeated NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn in a unification match, Rodriguez and the returning Morgan challenged Rousey and Baszler for the tag team titles at Money in the Bank.[69][70] At the event, Rodriguez and Morgan regained the championships after Baszler turned on Rousey.[71] On the July 17 episode of Raw, Rodriguez and Morgan were scheduled to defend their titles against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green, but Rhea Ripley attacked Rodriguez and Morgan before the match, causing Rodriguez to sustain a left knee injury. Later that night, Rodriguez and Morgan lost the titles to Deville and Chelsea Green, ending their second reign at 16 days. After her return on the August 21 episode of Raw, Rodriguez challenged Ripley several times for the Women's World Championship, but she failed to win the title.[72]

On January 1, 2024, Raquel revealed she was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome, which has resulted in her being absent from WWE shows.[73] After a two-month hiatus, Raquel returned on February 19 episode of Raw and won a Last Chance Battle Royal to earn the sixth and final spot in the women's Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber: Perth.[74] She would, however, fail at the event after being eliminated by Bianca Belair.[75] On March 18, she went on hiatus again after her mast cell activation syndrome flared up at Elimination Chamber: Perth.[76]

[edit]
Main article: The Judgment Day

After a seven-month hiatus, Rodriguez returned at Bad Blood and attacked Rhea Ripley, helping Liv Morgan retain the Women's World Championship while becoming the newest member of The Judgment Day, turning heel for the first time since 2021 and the first time on the main roster.[77] On the November 11 episode of Raw, Rodriguez and Morgan failed to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship from Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 30, Rodriguez, Morgan, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae lost to Ripley, Belair, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Naomi in a WarGames match.[78]

Professional wrestling style

[edit]

During her time in NXT, González performed a one-arm powerbomb as a finishing move called the Chingona Bomb.[6] The move was renamed to the Tejana Bomb when she was drafted to the main roster since it was deemed too vulgar.[79]

Personal life

[edit]

González was in a relationship with fellow professional wrestler Braun Strowman.[80] On January 1, 2024, González revealed that she was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome.[73]
