- Speaking with Denise Salcedo, Raquel Gonzalez opened up about the challenges she faced on her path to becoming the NXT Women's Champion:

“When I started in the Performance Center in October of 2016, I was an entirely different person. I had just moved away from my family, the farthest I’d ever been away from them and I am super close with my family so it was a very tough decision but they supported me no matter what and so that within itself was difficult. Then starting a life in Orlando, Florida on my own was also difficult. And not just a normal life but I am starting a life as a WWE superstar and I have these goals I am trying to reach, these things that I want to do, which is to become the face of NXT and to be constantly told ‘no you’re not ready, no it’s not gonna happen,’… It makes me look back on my entire journey and it’s something that just keeps that fire lit in me, the fuel that keeps on fueling me because it was such a long journey and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I wouldn’t change not one thing, it’s my journey and I’ve accepted it and I love it for everything that it has taught me but it’s kept that fire burning inside of me and that’s what makes it even better. I know where I come from and I know what I’ve done to get here and I would not change a damn thing. Nothing is gonna stop that fire from burning inside of me. To know that I am the face of the NXT Women’s Division and that I am the champion it’s sweet, it's so so sweet but it’s also something that makes me want more. I want more. I am hungry.”
