Raquel Gonzalez hopes another battle royal could showcase some of the old and new NXT talent.
In an interview with ComicBook, Raquel Gonzalez spoke about the NXT 2.0 branding and how she feels like it’s “very welcoming” for fans and talent.
“I love the new colors and the new atmosphere that we have going on right now. I feel like it’s very bright, it’s very welcoming, it’s very open,” Gonzalez said. “And what we really want right now is to get more interaction from the fans, from our people especially, people who are watching every week. And I think a lot of people as well don’t know that they can come to the shows every week if they are in Orlando, if they’re vacationing, if they live here. You can actually come watch us live every week for free here at the CWC and kind of experience it yourself.”
In addition, she said one thing she would like to see in NXT 2.0 moving forward is a match concept that would actually be a returning battle royal, noting that she felt like Sunday’s WarGames match would have a similar vibe.
“I would love to see, I feel like we haven’t had one in a while, but a Battle Royal, especially with the females and especially with the new NXT 2.0 and all the new faces and the new talent and the new blood that’s coming in and out every week, I feel like a good Battle Royal would really just showcase, not just the old school, but the new school and like a mix of the both, which I actually feel we’re going to see this weekend too with the men’s WarGames match because it’s NXT 2.0 versus NXT Black and Gold. So it’s going to be a good clash between the old school and the new school. I’m really excited,” Gonzalez said.
NXT has been represented in the Women’s Royal Rumble match the past two years, but the brand hasn’t hosted a battle royal event on a regular basis. The last exclusive one for the NXT brand took place on September 23, 2020.
