Raquel Rodriguez has hinted that she might be a future member of the Latino World Order.
Rodriguez is currently a member of the Raw roster and is attempting to dethrone Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. The former NXT Champion nearly defeated Ripley on the September 11th Raw but was cost the victory by a returning Nia Jax. If Rodriguez is in need of backup, she has hinted that it may require a trip to SmackDown.
Speaking with The Dallas Morning News, Rodriguez spoke of her bond with the LWO and how she became friends with Cruz Del Toro and Santos Escobar early on in her WWE career:
“Trust me, there have been many thoughts of Raquel Rodriguez in the LWO. I would love to be a part of the LWO. Everyone who’s in the LWO at the moment are family to me. I started just a little bit before [Cruz] Del Toro signed with NXT. And when he came in, he just immediately felt like a brother to me, and we bonded immediately. He’s always been there for me. It’s really been hard that we’re on separate brands because, again, it’s like family. Same thing for Escobar, you know, Santos, he came into WWE, and immediately it just felt like I had another brother in the business.”
Hinting that a future alliance may be on the cards, Rodriguez stated that she is effectively in the faction, it just has to be announced:
“I’m already part of that family. In a sense, I do feel like I’m part of the LWO, it just hasn’t been made official yet.”
