Roxanne Perez has risen rapidly through the ranks of WWE NXT. This shouldn’t come as any surprise – she’s a talented in-ring performer. She was the inaugural ROH Women’s Champion, then performing as Rok-C. She signed with WWE in February when ROH went on hiatus at the end of 2021.
Since then, Perez has won the Women’s Breakout Tournament, and enjoyed a run with the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Cora Jade. She spoke recently with El Brunch de WWE to talk about her WWE tryout and being signed.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
What the tryout process was like: “I did one in December. That was the normal one that they do where it’s like 50 people and it’s two days and you’re there at the PC [WWE’s Performance Center]. And they called me back and they said, ‘Okay, we’re not hiring you yet. We want to bring you back for an extended tryout in February, and that will be three weeks.’ So I was there at the PC for three weeks. Every single day, it was like, 8 a.m. till like 8 p.m. It was intense, and sometimes, during those three weeks, I would get down on myself.”
When she found out she’d be getting signed: “The last week, they brought us separately into a room. That’s when they told us like, ‘Okay, you’re going to be a WWE Superstar,’ and I started crying. I couldn’t believe it. It was mind-blowing to me.”
