On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” Raquel Rodriguez offered her thoughts on Jade Cargill’s recent signing with WWE, her upcoming confrontation with Nia Jax on RAW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the benefits of Cargill joining WWE: “I think it’s great. Like we were talking about, our women’s division is growing. We are main eventing different shows on all of the platforms. So to get another talent from an outside company come in and she’s got such a massive following, and she’s just adding to the list of big girls that someone’s got to squash, probably me. I think it’s great, it’s great to have this competition in the women’s division and have this star power.”
On her growth since their last meeting: “Two years is a long time, and I feel like since then I’ve had some crazy battles. I’ve wrestled people with crazy experience, from Trish Stratus to Ronda Rousey to now being in a feud with Rhea Ripley. So knowing that I’ve been continuing to grow and continuing to harness my skill and my in-ring ability, I think that’s where I have the leg up on Nia. She had two years off and I only took two weeks, so I think it’s going to be fair game Monday.”
On her tactical preparations for their impending fight: “I feel like when you have a bull that’s just seeing red, you got to just keep waving that flag in front of them until they hit something hard and then they’re out. So that’s my strategy going in.”
