Raquel Rodriguez Reflects On Nearly 10 Years In WWE, ‘My Priorities Have Definitely Changed A Lot’
Raquel Rodriguez reflects on 10 years in WWE.
Since signing with the company in October 2016, Rodriguez has been a consistent force across multiple brands like Raw and NXT. Her career has been defined by five different reigns with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships and two reigns with the now-defunct NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships.
Speaking with Soundsphere Magazine for a new interview, Rodriguez was asked to talk about what she’s learned about herself during her decade long stint with WWE.
“I think I’ve learned that I’m much stronger than I believe. I can handle a lot more than I think I can. When you’re out there in this crazy business, you’re on your own, young, growing up through this business for 10 years. It’s the longest job I’ve ever held, by the way. You really grow as a human, as a person and you learn what’s important in life. For me at least my priorities have definitely changed a lot. I’ve focused more on my health this year, I’ve focused more on my family and my connections and my relationships that matter to me the most. That’s what really gets me through the long travel days and the long nights on the road when I miss my animals and I miss my family. But I’ve learned that I can do it and that I can stay strong. As long as I have my beliefs and my faith, there’s really nothing that can get under my skin these days.”
The duo of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez are set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on the May 18 episode of Raw. Check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
