Raquel Rodriguez has said that she has no issue with her new name following the change from Raquel Gonzalez.

Called up to SmackDown earlier this month, the former NXT Women’s Champion debuted her new name in an interview segment with Kayla Braxton.

Speaking to Cageside Seats, Rodriguez recalled getting her new name saying:

“They just basically said, ‘Hey, you’re getting a name change and this is it.’ I was like, ‘Cool, that’s fine.’ I really had no big arguments with it at all. It was just a simple little switch. It’s funny, I was just joking with Rhea (Ripley) last Friday because she was actually at SmackDown, and her initials are R-R, Rhea Ripley, and we’ve always joked about being a tag team, and we had our feud NXT. Well, now my initials are R-R, Raquel Rodriguez. So it kind of just feels like it was meant to be, so I’m okay with it. We’re starting to think of new tag names.”

“This is what I’ve been waiting for. It’s what I’ve worked for,” Raquel said. “This is what all the sacrifices are for. But I definitely took that moment (getting called up) and I squashed it right away, because I was like, this doesn’t mean you made it. This doesn’t mean that it’s over. You know what I mean? Like this is where the work begins and this is where you really have to start hustling.”

Rodriguez is expected to feud with Natalya on SmackDown, who is also feuding with Cora Jade in NXT 2.0.
