Raini Rodriguez Was Finn Balor’s Guest At WWE RAW, Could ‘Talk For Hours’ About Banks vs. Belair Match

Raini Rodriguez is a member of the Balor Club.

Raini Rodriguez shared the following photos on Twitter, revealing she was a guest of Finn Balor at WWE RAW in Houston this week. Rodriguez, her nephew, and her brother, fellow actor Rico Rodriguez (Modern Family) were on hand for the show on Monday:

Raini Rodriguez also recently spoke with Tyler Treese of ComingSoon.net about her new Netflix series A Tale Dark & Grimm. Rodriguez, who presented at the 2020 Slammys with Rico, also shared how her wrestling fandom first started.

“I’ve been a fan since the 90s since I was born really. Growing up, watching The Rock and “Stone Cold,” Steve Austin, and all those great fighters. Watching all these amazing matches on TV and pay-per-views with my family and whatnot. So that was always really cool to kind of get in that sort of zone. Like I said, I have a younger brother and so then as we got older, obviously our older brothers and me, we would still watch it and then Rico, my youngest, he just kind of walked right in and was like. “Wrestling [and] WWE, I’m into it.” Then he started watching it and then it kind of throws us all back into it. And then I have 10 nieces and nephews, so then they got into it as well. It was a whole thing.

“Getting to do the Slammy’s was really cool. Then we got to go to SmackDown Live when it was at the Staples Center in LA, and that was really cool. We got to meet Rey Mysterio, Triple H, Shane McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. Getting to meet all these cool people that I love because coming from the entertainment world, it’s pure fun to me. The athleticism that these athletes portray is just phenomenal to get to do that. So to be kind of in that atmosphere was really cool. I totally became a fangirl immediately. That’s the thing. I’m an actor, I’ve been an actor for 16 years. I’ve been around the block and it’s amazing. But then there are times when I’ll get involved in a situation where I’m just like [ahh], I know that was definitely one of them for sure.”

Raini also said that she was a big fan of the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania between Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks, and said it served as great inspiration for girls watching at home.

“Well, Bianca is my girl straight up. Sasha Banks is amazing. I could talk for hours about this, the female roster right now that WWE has is phenomenal. Bianca Belair and Sasha’s match, just what a groundbreaking history-making match right there. I think that’s so great for young girls at home to watch that and go, ‘I can do that too,’ and ‘I can set records and I can do whatever I want do in my in my world.’ I love that so much.”
