Raquel González won the NXT Women’s Championship last week from Io Shirai, creating a moment in her first TakeOver main event at Stand & Deliver.

González, who is 30-year-old Victoria González, is in the midst of an incredible rise in NXT. She got her start in both editions of the Mae Young Classic, losing each time in the opening round. But she then made her debut as Raquel González in February 2020, serving as the muscle for Dakota Kai, igniting this current run of success.

Partnering with Kai has led to some incredible chemistry, and the two even became the first Women’s Tag Team Champions in NXT after winning this year’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
