Raquel Rodriguez Responds To Kevin Nash’s Critiques Of Her: “If He Thinks I’m Working Too Small… I’m Gonna Start Working Bigger”

Rodriguez is going to listen to Nash’s advice.

On an episode of Kevin Nash’s ‘Kliq This’ podcast, he offered his thoughts about WWE’s Raquel Rodriguez and pieces of her in-ring work. Nash expressed that he gets upset at Rodriguez for working small. He said she’ll make herself small instead of selling big.

While speaking to SHAK Wrestling, Rodriguez responded to Nash’s comments and said if it’s coming from him, she’s taking it to heart and listening to what is being suggested.

“If that’s coming from Kevin Nash, I fully take that to heart. If he thinks I’m working too small, Mr. Nash, sir, with all due respect, I’m gonna start working bigger, and I hope you are able to tune in some more and watch Raquel Rodriguez grow and get a little bit bigger every single time because if anybody knows how to be a cool guy, if anybody knows how to be (a) strong, big guy, it’s Kevin Nash. He set the bar for us.”

Following up on that, Rodriguez spoke about her being receptive to criticism and critiques.

“I think that’s what’s kind of kept me going for so long is seeing the glass half full because no matter what, everybody’s gonna have their opinions, everyone’s gonna have their criticisms. I think it’s great to take criticisms with a grain of salt. Take ‘em for what they are. Be respectful to know that, hey, someone else is watching your craft and they’re taking time of their day to criticize you on what you’re doing. That’s kind of a compliment. Kevin Nash has better things to than watch a Raquel Rodriguez match and tell her that she’s working too small but, for him to do that and to go out of his time, I fully respect that and I will fully take that criticism to heart and it’s definitely something that I know I am personally working on at that moment. There’s some things that have happened that I feel have helped me step out of my shell a little bit more. But it’s definitely on the rise for sure. This attitude, I feel like, yeah, she’s new, she’s fresh but she’s just feeling very confident these days and so, I’m just very excited to share all of my opinions and to get more feedback like that. If everyone, from Kevin Nash to Ric Flair to any of our other history-making WWE Hall of Famers wanna give me critiques, I will happily take it, please, thank you.”

Rodriguez was in action at WWE Evolution. She and Roxanne Perez defended the Women’s Tag Team Championships in a Fatal 4-Way tag bout.
