Raquel Rodriguez Says WWE "Squandered" Her Popular Romantic Storyline

Raquel Rodriguez says WWE squandered a romantic storyline with Carlito, believing the company didn't want them to overshadow Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan.

Raquel Rodriguez lost her chance at a romantic WWE storyline with a top legend.

He is none other than Carlito. In an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the reigning WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion said that Carlito was courting her every week and that it was heading towards a romantic storyline. Fans were also taking a strong interest in it.

However, Raquel Rodriguez said that WWE did not go ahead with it. According to Rodriguez, they didn’t want the Judgment Day power couple, Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, to be overshadowed by her brewing chemistry with Carlito.

Carlito was courting me every week, he wanted to win my trust. I think the storyline was heading toward something romantic, but they squandered the opportunity. I think they didn’t want us to overshadow Dom and Liv”.

Big Mami Cool also added that she wanted to have a final date or something kind of an ending to the storyline.

“I wished we’d had a moment like a final date or something like that. You know, that would’ve been fun.”

The storyline was abandoned when Carlito’s WWE contract expired in 2025. He joined the group after turning heel in 2024 and became an exciting fixture to watch. Moreover, his storyline with Rodriguez had a lot of potential, but WWE chose to abandon those plans.

As for Raquel Rodriguez, she is still part of The Judgment Day and continues to lay down dominance as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
