In its aftermath, Rodriguez was ecstatic and spoke to WWE in an exclusive interview.

"Words can't even describe it. All I can say is for the past years that I've started in NXT, and been with WWE I have literally dreamed of this moment, I've dreamed of this match. I've dreamed of walking through that curtain hearing my music and looking around in a giant coliseum a thousands of people and seeing them just smile and cheer for me. I looked in the mirror before walking out and I was like, 'You did this, you got here, Raquel. You are here because of you, and because you never quit, never say never.' It's so freaking awesome."
