She is the epitome of a bland female wrestler. She's tall and that's about it. Nothing else stands out about her. She's an instant channel changer for me. Is it going to take a heel turn for her to develop some charisma/personality? Do you think she will just fade out like so many other flash in the pan female wrestlers have?

I like her and so does my wife... but she's gotta learn to do something besides smile and flex. Putting her in tag teams is definitely the right call until she can expand her talents.

I mean... if she could ever figure it out, you have a gold feud between her and Rhea. Two hosses slapping meat.... ok, maybe that's a little creepy when talking about the female talent. LOL |

As always a heel turn would be just what she needs but with so many female heels around (shayna,Ronda,Damage control currently, Chelsea and Sonya, a recently turned Tegan, Trish and Zoey Stark, Rhea etc) another powerhouse female heel would make things just so bad for the babyface side of things.

Raquel is to me a redundent talent.
There is nothing..Bianca , Rhea or hell even Charlotte don't already do that she does and do it better that are suppose to be Raquels most unique qualities.
You can go up and down and the roster and practically see something in just about all of the other women that make them unique that stands out from everyone else....Raquel has none of it.

Never understood why Trips liked her so much in NXT and I certainly don't understand what he sees in her on the main roster.

The stare down/interaction with Rhea was pretty cool. They just need to find something to give her some personality/edge and she’ll be fine.

I think she’s doing good, but she can use a little more of an edge, whether through a heel turn or just adding a little more to her face character.

It’s a combination of things.
She was never the most charismatic even in NXT. But she did better there because she had more to work with.
WWE hasn’t given her a defined character at all on the MR. She’s just “big woman who smiles and flexes her back.”

It still annoys me that they had the perfect pairing of her and Dakota down in NXT which let Raquel have a prominent position while still learning, and gave Dakota that little something that she was missing from her presentation. That should have been a long term partnership that led Dakota to the NXT title before they split and feuded for the title, or even went together to the main roster.
Instead Raquel got the title waaayyy before she was ready, their feud and reconciliation just kinda…happened, and Dakota got fired and Raquel spun her wheels for years both in NXT and now on Smackdown.
I just don’t know what I’d do with her now. I think she comes off like a natural heel, but that might just be because her current character (if you can call it that) comes off so phoney, smiley, “I’m so happy to be here”. She works as a tag partner but they either don’t commit to a team (Aliyah, Shotzi) or have ended up injured (Liv).
I still think she’d work best as a heel bodyguard before an eventual feud with her boss.

Her entire character is just "I have back muscles."

If Raquel could just tone it down on the smiling and show more intensity like last night against Trish on Raw, that might help. |

I really like Raquel. Her tallness is awesome. People are underestimating that. You see how she towered over Lil Trish. You see that bear hug (props to Trish for selling that hard too!) That was an impressive visual. I think Raquel pulls off the powerhouse vibe better than anyone else right now. That house show match where she does the height gesture to Rhea and turns to the crowd and says, "Doesn't she look bigger on TV?" That was pure gold! A poster above says there is nothing she does that Rhea, Bianca, or Charlotte can't. I'll disagree. Given Raquel's stature, she's the only person on the roster you could put against any of those three and she could believably bully them around. I also like her bilingualism. As someone who grew up with a Latina mom, that switch from English to Spanish is terrifying because that means I'm about to get my butt beat! Raquel is one of my favorite WWE superstars right now.
..and she has back muscles!

I see the talent but it’s like watching an alien try to imitate a human out there.

They might be trying to do something with her with Becky costing her the qualifier match.
