WWE Superstar Raquel Rodriguez has responded publicly to recent criticism from WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who said she was “working small” in her matches. In a new interview with CBSSports.com, Raquel took the high road — showing respect and appreciation for the feedback while embracing the opportunity to grow. Raquel addressed the remarks directly:
“If that’s coming from Kevin Nash, I fully take that to heart. If he thinks I’m working too small, then, Mr. Nash — sir, with all due respect — I’ll start working bigger. I hope you’ll tune in more and watch Raquel Rodriguez grow and get bigger every single time. If anyone knows how to be a cool, big, strong wrestler, it’s Kevin Nash. He set the bar for us.”
Rather than brushing off the comment, Raquel expressed gratitude for being noticed by a wrestling icon and explained how she sees the critique as a compliment:
“It’s important to be respectful and recognize that someone is watching your craft, taking time out of their day to criticize you. That’s a compliment. Kevin Nash has better things to do than watch a Raquel Rodriguez match and tell her she’s working too small. For him to go out of his way to do that, I fully respect that and take that criticism to heart.”
“It’s something I’m working on at the moment. I’ve stepped out of my shell a little bit more. It’s definitely on the rise. This attitude is new and fresh, but she’s feeling very confident these days.”
Raquel Rodriguez continues to evolve as a featured player in WWE’s women’s division. Her humility, professionalism, and willingness to improve—especially in response to a legend’s feedback—show just how focused she is on her growth.
