**WWE Evolution 2: Raquel Rodriguez Prepares for Tag Team Championship Defense**
Raquel Rodriguez, who was training at the WWE Performance Center during the inaugural WWE Evolution in 2018, is set to defend her tag team championship alongside Roxanne Perez this Sunday. The duo will face formidable opponents in a fatal four-way tag match, competing against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Sol Ruca and Zaria, and Kairi Sane and Asuka.
Reflecting on the significance of the first Evolution event, Rodriguez shared her excitement with fans. “This is a very exciting time for all the women in WWE and those invested in wrestling worldwide,” she stated. “I remember watching the first Evolution while training, wishing to be part of it. It was a beautiful representation of women in wrestling and sports from around the globe.”
Rodriguez expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to participate in Evolution 2, emphasizing the importance of representation. “I can’t wait to see all the women, little girls, and the abuelitas and tias cheering us on. I am just very grateful and excited to be walking in as a WWE Women’s Tag Team champion and walking out as a champion.”
Wrestling runs in Rodriguez’s blood; her father, Rick, was an independent wrestler in Texas during the 1980s and 1990s. While she admired female wrestlers like Chyna and Beth Phoenix, her father’s influence was paramount. “I looked up to many women, but my dad has guided me in many decisions. I wouldn’t be here without him and the sacrifices he made.”
As she prepares for the upcoming match, Rodriguez is ready to showcase her skills and honor the legacy of women in wrestling.
