What is Raquel Rodriguez’s finisher?

According to the SmackDown Hotel, Raquel Rodriguez’s finisher is the Texana Bomb. While competing on the NXT brand, the move was originally called the Chingona Bomb. However, the name was later changed to the Tejana Bomb after Rodriguez was drafted to the main roster due to concerns about its connotation. In this maneuver, Rodriguez hoists her opponent using one arm and drives them into the mat. Because of its technique, the move bears a strong resemblance to a powerbomb, which is why it is also known as a one-arm powerbomb or a scoop lift powerbomb.
