On a recent edition of the “Masked Man Show” podcast, Roxanne Perez discussed the moment she realized that WWE had confidence in her and saw her as a standout for the NXT brand.
Perez said, “I think it started from when they put the ‘NXT’ Women’s Championship on me the first time around. I think that was, I feel like, to me, that solidified, like, every single thing that I had done getting to this point, because being in WWE was always my main goal. Every single step that I took along the way, every single step was for this — to be in WWE. So it’s really, really cool to have that trust from Shawn Michaels, and just the entire WWE, in general.”
Perez retained the NXT Women’s Championship against Jaida Parker last night at NXT: No Mercy 2024. She is currently in her second reign as NXT Women’s Champion, having held the title for 149 days.
