'She could be my cousin' - Former WWE star is open to managing Raquel Rodriguez (Exclusive)
Former WWE Superstar Ricardo Rodriguez is open to the idea of returning to the company and managing SmackDown star Raquel Rodriguez. The idea stems from both parties sharing the very same last name.
Ricardo Rodriguez is best known during his time with WWE as the personal ring announcer and manager for Alberto Del Rio. Since his departure from the company, the Mexican-American star has been a mainstay on the independent circuit. He has told Sportskeeda in the past that he's tried to step away from professional wrestling far too many times but keeps coming back.
During a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Rodriguez expressed his desire to manage Raquel Rodriguez. When asked who he'd like to align with from the current crop of talent, the former star wanted to stick with his 'Latino brothers and sisters':
"And on SmackDown, or RAW, or WWE, I'd say either Raquel Rodriguez. For obvious reasons. She could be my cousin. I don't know. My sister. I don't know. Or Los Lotharios. Angel Garza and Humberto Carillo. Those would be my picks right now. I mean I would love to work with Rey [Mysterio] again. I would love to work with Rey. But he doesn't need me. Rey is Rey. Rey is one of a kind," Rodriguez said. [8:06 - 8:33]
