Cardi B Revealed Why She Doesn’t Hang Out With Megan Thee Stallion

American pro wrestler Raquel Rodriguez is known for her height and incredible power. She’s a member of The Judgment Day and is a WE Women’s Tag Team Champion.

In February 2026, Rodriguez spoke on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast about her dream tag-team. She noted how she’d love to go up against rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion with Liv Morgan by her side.

“Definitely Karol G,” Rodriguez said, adding how she “loves” the Colombian singer/songwriter. “Her music, everything that she’s about. “She’s just such a positive influence.”

“But, you know, Liv and I have always talked about tagging against Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion,” Rodriguez continued. “I would love to tag against Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion. I’m going to keep putting it out there because I think Liv and I versus them would just be so iconic for our careers, for their careers, just because we’re the greatest tag team of all time, and they’re just great at what they do as well. So, that’s definitely one for sure.”

Rodriguez and Morgan often team up together. However, their partnership took a dramatic turn at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble in Riyadh. Rodriguez had been one of the final competitors in the women’s Royal Rumble match and was positioned as a strong contender when Morgan eliminated her from the bout, effectively betraying Rodriguez before going on to win the match and secure her WrestleMania title opportunity. Both women had worked together earlier in the match against other opponents, making Morgan’s decision to toss Rodriguez over the top rope feel like a strategic betrayal.

Cardi B has mentioned having an interest in professional wrestling

So, would Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion ever take on a pro wrestler? In 2023, Cardi mentioned having an interest in the sport.

“I just told you that my body got f***ed up after the second [child],” she said while on Ebro In The Morning on HOT 97, according to PWMania. “I told you the second one f***ed me up. I mean, I would love to attend. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I have to perform or slap a b****, but I want to go. I have to fulfill some type of dream. I used to love wrestling. I used to be crazy for it.”

She then mentioned a few of her favorites, like Dave Bautista, Eddie Guerrero, and The Undertaker.

Raquel Rodriguez mentioned other big names, including a famous Olympian

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion aside, the WWE star would love to go against another “big girl,” she stated on Inside the Ring.

“I would love to work with another big girl,” Rodriguez said, “a big girl who hasn’t had an opportunity to step into a ring.” She then mentioned Gina Carano, an actress also known as the “face of women’s MMA.”

“Or even someone who’s up and coming, like Ilona Maher,” the wrestler continued. “She was on Dancing With the Stars, and she plays rugby in the Olympics. She’s so great; she’s so funny. I think she has so much charisma.” Rodriguez added that she loves how Maher remains body positive. “Because there’s not that many of us, you know?” she said. “When we got an opportunity to shine, we gotta let that light shine.”
