Absent WWE star spotted ahead of RAW 168 days since last match
A popular WWE Superstar has been spotted near the location of tonight's episode of RAW. This week's edition of the red brand will air live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
Raquel Rodriguez has not wrestled a match since the February 26 episode of RAW. The veteran defeated Chelsea Green in a singles match before disappearing from WWE television. She has been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and has not appeared on television in 168 days.
However, the 33-year-old has reportedly been spotted working out a few miles away from tonight's show. Rodriguez is billed from Texas, so it may not be related to a potential return to action.
Raquel Rodriguez is a three-time Women's Tag Team Champion. She has held the title twice with current Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and once with former WWE Superstar Aliyah. She captured the NXT Women's Championship once during her time in the company's developmental brand.
Rhea Ripley wants to team up with Raquel Rodriguez on WWE television
RAW star Rhea Ripley shared that she would like to team up with Raquel Rodriguez on the main roster someday.
The Eradicator is scheduled to open tonight's episode of WWE RAW with a promo. The former Judgment Day member was betrayed by Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam and came up short in her quest to capture the Women's World Championship.
Speaking on the My Love Letter To Wrestling podcast last year, the 27-year-old stated that she wanted to have a major rivalry with Bianca Belair. She added that she would also like to team up with Raquel Rodriguez on TV.
"I wanna have a massive story and build with Bianca Belair. There’s something so special there that could be done so I want something to happen with Bianca and I and then also, I wanna tag with Raquel Rodriguez on TV," she said.
Raquel Rodriguez competed in the Women's Elimination Chamber match earlier this year but Becky Lynch emerged victorious. She was reportedly removed from the active roster in March and only time will tell when she returns to the ring down the line.
