Mini bio
How it started.
Raquel grew up with wrestling through her father, Ricky “Desperado” Gonzalez. Before WWE, she played college basketball at Texas A&M-Kingsville. She credits the sport with teaching her discipline and teamwork. WWE announced her arrival at its Performance Center in October 2016, listing her training at the Gulf Coast Wrestling Alliance in Corpus Christi.
Finding her place.
She appeared in the inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017. As Raquel Gonzalez, she built a successful partnership with Dakota Kai: they won the first Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in February 2021 and became the inaugural NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions that March. In April, Raquel defeated Io Shirai in the main event of Stand & Deliver’s first night to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
The Judgment Day years.
Her return at Bad Blood in 2024 brought her into Liv Morgan’s corner and The Judgment Day. She and Morgan regained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title on the Raw after WrestleMania in April 2025. In July 2026 she added a singles milestone, defeating Sol Ruca for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
