As we reported earlier here on eWn, Roxanne Perez defeated Mandy Rose to capture the NXT Women’s Championship on this week’s episode of WWE NXT.
Following the show, WWE posted a “Digital Exclusive” that featured an emotional Perez commenting on her journey to get where she is today. She took it back to 2016, which is the year she began wrestling at the age of 14. She said,
“About let’s see, 2016 — I have it right here on my wrist — is the year I started wrestling. And I was 14 years old, and that was the day that I just said, ‘I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure that I get to the WWE. No matter what it takes, I’m gonna get there.’ And my whole life revolved around wrestling up until now. Everything I did — literally every single thing I did — was to be here and was for this championship.”
She continued, “Now I’m sure you saw, I just broke down into tears out there, but everything was worth it. All the trials, the tribulations, the ups and the downs. Every thing, every single thing was so worth it. And this is proof to every little girl out there that no matter what you tell yourself, no matter what doubts there are in your mind, it can happen. You can become the NXT Women’s Champion.”
