Raquel Rodriguez was one of the highlights of NXT television, where she even became the NXT Women’s Champion. She was eventually called up to the main roster on Friday Night SmackDown.

On the May 13 episode of WWE SmackDown, Ronda Rousey issued an open challenge for her Smackdown Women’s Title. Rodriguez ended up answering the challenge and the two had a solid match.

Fans and peers alike were impressed by Raquel Rodriguez’s performance in the match. While speaking on her YouTube channel, Ronda Rousey revealed that she always wanted to work with Rodriguez.

“I’ve always really wanted to work with Raquel [Rodriguez]. So I’m really glad that I got to make this happen,” said Rousey. “I always wanted to work with Raquel because she’s really f***ing strong. She’s a great wrestler but I love working with girls that can support my weight. Because it enables me to do so much more.”
