The former NXT Champion discusses returning to her home state, ahead of Stand & Deliver.
Raquel Gonzalez is set to compete on NXT’s premium live event, Stand & Deliver, teaming with Dakota Kai against NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Toxic Attraction for the titles, but she talked about her excitement to wrestle in her home state.
Speaking with Quetzalli Bulnes on El Brunch, the former NXT Women’s Champion that she has been waiting to wrestle in Texas, discussed how she’s looking forward NXT’s first live show outside of the Capitol Wrestling Center.
“I am a little nervous because Stand & Deliver is a big deal, especially being in WrestleMania week. It’s not just that, but we are also in Texas, which is my state. My family will be there, my friends will be there, and many people that I know will be supporting me and watching my match. It’s a lot of pressure, but I have been waiting two years for this moment. Two years of my NXT career have been me waiting to wrestle in Texas in front of a crowd, and I know we will have the biggest crowd we (NXT) have had in years, so it’s a great event for NXT. You (Bulnes) know well, everything I have been eating is clean, like some chicken and rice; however, I want my Whataburger, I want my bread, and I want my grandmother to make some tortillas once I get to Texas.” Gonzalez stated.
Gonzalez and Dakota Kai could become NXT’s first-ever two-time NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions on Stand & Deliver, after being crowned the inaugural champions on March 10, 2021. You can hear Raquel’s comments here.
