Raquel told Kayla Braxton that SmackDown has never seen anybody like her before. She was then interrupted by Los Lotharios, who tried to welcome her with a kiss before she sent them packing.

Raquel last competed on the April 5 episode of NXT 2.0, dropping the NXT Tag Team Titles to Toxic Attraction just three days after winning them with Dakota Kai at NXT Stand & Deliver.
