Before heading out to the ring, Raquel Rodriguez had a pre-match interview with Kayla. She acknowledged that she was nervous heading into the match, but she was used to being in the limelight.

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."
