Reina Gonzalez is a professional wrestler currently competing as a villainess in WWE.
Reina was signed by WWE in 2017, and made her televised NXT debut on the May 3 episode, participating in a #1 Contender's Battle Royal. Reina (who competed as Victoria Gonzalez; her real name) ended up eliminated by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. She was announced as one of the 32 combatants in the inaugural Mae Young Classic on July 13, and at the tournament, Reina competed as a heel in her first round match against Nicole Savoy on August 28, doing so in a losing effort. Reina's heel persona included donning a patch over her right eye to appear intimidating and menacing, and in a backstage interview following her defeat, the evil Reina vowed that she would be back in an NXT spotlight.
Reina returned to NXT TV as a villainess on October 25, competing in a battle royal for the final spot in an NXT Women's Championship Fatal Four Way match at Takeover: War Games, but was unsuccessful as Nikki Cross ended up winning. She has continued to work NXT live events as a heel, including main eventing one show on March 8, where she teamed with Shayna Baszler and Vanessa Borne in a losing effort against Jessie, Candice LeRae, and Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane. On March 17, 2018, Reina competed in a losing effort against fellow Mae Young Classic competitor Xia Li, and attacked Xia after the match before she was saved by Candice LeRae. Reina picked up a victory over the debuting Kacy Catanzaro at a live event on April 19.
Reina was one of several Mae Young Classic participants who were announced as returning combatants for the second annual tournament. On the tournament's second episode on September 12, 2018, however, Reina was defeated by Kacy Catanzaro, suffering her second first round exit from the tournament. On December 12, 2018, Reina made her NXT TV singles debut in a loss to Mia Yim.
