Raquel Rodriguez, a prominent WWE star like Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, recently received some critique from Nash, who mentioned that she was performing “too small” during a match, including a street fight against Ripley at WWE Night of Champions. In a Shaku Wrestling interview, Rodriguez expressed that she values Nash’s feedback highly and is willing to work on expanding her in-ring presence. She said, “If it comes from Kevin Nash, I’ll take it completely to heart. If he thinks I’m too small, I’ll respectfully start working bigger and hope he sees me grow with each match.”
Unlike some wrestlers who might reject criticism from industry legends, Rodriguez embraces such advice positively. She explained that being critiqued means someone recognizes her skills and cares enough to guide her improvement, calling it a compliment. Rodriguez appreciates Nash taking the time to watch her matches and offer constructive input. Recently, she and Roxanne Perez successfully retained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on Raw, overcoming challengers Bailey and Laila Valkyria after Becky Lynch neutralized Valkyria, allowing Rodriguez to secure the win with a Tejana bomb.
Fan Take: This interaction underscores the importance of mentorship and growth within WWE, showing how even established wrestlers can evolve by learning from legends like Kevin Nash. For fans, it highlights Rodriguez’s dedication to improving her craft, which could lead to even more compelling matches and storylines in the future.
