Raquel Rodriguez Embraced Natural Look at WWE Elimination Chamber Despite MCAS Challenges

Raquel Rodriguez was sidelined for a few months due to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. However, she made a return on RAW this week and competed at Elimination Chamber. Despite her MCAS flaring up, Rodriguez chose to embrace her natural look.

Rodriguez previously revealed that she had been diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. At the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, Raquel Rodriguez competed in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match.

Raquel showcased her strength inside the Elimination Chamber, using it to punish those within the structure. Rodriguez took to Instagram and shared her experience of her MCAS flaring up during the flight to Australia. Rodriguez stated that she hit the ring “Alicia Keys style.” This references Alicia Keys, who in 2016 mentioned that she stopped wearing makeup.

”If you had told me that on the long flight to Perth Australia for the first time it was gonna blow my face up and turn me the same color as my pink satin pillow case (might have been the makeup on Monday too) I would have still jumped on that flight! Maybe my trip didn’t go as planned but I’m still learning this new body of mine. A big part of being a female Wrestler for WWE is getting to sit in that makeup chair with our amazing makeup team who I love so much and getting to get dolled up. It’s part of being a girl. It’s part of feeling fully the part. At the end of the night, I’m proud I went out there Alicia Keys style.”

”Even if this trip didn’t go as planned I am still grateful that I was blessed to be in Elimination Chamber in Perth Australia with 5 other talented women! And I got to hug a koala bear so it was a win for me 😍 thank you so much to the lovely Vanessa of @lymphaticmassageperth for seeing me last minute 3 times to help me feel my best for the chamber. Your grace, kindness and knowledge was a Godsend 🙏🏼
Thank you to @westozwildlife for the hugs and animal love! A big thank you to the entire WWE medical team! And so much love to my family & friends for the late and early phone calls, prayers and constantly checking on me 🫶🏼 los amo! On to a long flight home ✈️ 🤞🏼
