In a truly remarkable moment at NXT Roadblock, Roxanne Perez cemented her status as the new leading lady of the Women’s division by dethroning the formidable Mandy Rose, who held the title for an impressive 413 days. As a protégé of the iconic wrestler Booker T, Perez has been capturing the hearts of fans with her awe-inspiring performances and undeniable prowess inside the ring.
However, during her most recent title defense against Meiko Satomura, Perez caused great concern among fans and fellow wrestlers alike when she suddenly fainted inside the ring. A flurry of activity ensued as Booker T, Shawn Michaels, WWE officials, medical workers, and Satomura all rushed to her side and had her stretchered out of the location and transported to a medical facility.
With the highly anticipated Stand & Deliver event fast approaching, there is uncertainty as to whether Perez will be able to defend her title. While initial reports suggested that she was recuperating at home, Wrestling Observer Live’s Dave Meltzer revealed that Perez was back to training the next day.
Some wrestling legends have criticized the new generation of wrestlers for not breaking kayfabe and revealing their personal lives and injuries, but Perez’s authenticity and dedication to her craft may set her apart from the rest. As her future at WWE remains bright, only time will tell how this whole angle plays out in the ring.
