In a stunning upset, Roxanne Perez captured the NXT Women’s Championship by defeating Mandy Rose. Ever since that glorious moment, Perez has been an unstoppable force, accepting any challenger that dares to step up to her. Even when the odds were stacked against her, Perez proved that she is a true fighting champion.
However, in recent weeks, concerns over Perez’s health have put her championship status in jeopardy. Following a grueling match with Meiko Satomura at NXT Roadblock, Perez collapsed, leaving fans and officials worried. Although it was later revealed to be part of the storyline, there was a legitimate issue being evaluated.
To make matters worse, a ladder match for the NXT Women’s Championship was announced for NXT Stand & Deliver, and Perez was not among the qualifiers. Tiffany Stratton, Zoey Stark, Gigi Dolin, Lyra Valkyria, and the winner of a last-chance three-way match would compete for the title. However, PW Insider has reported that Perez is set to appear at NXT Stand & Deliver, possibly as a last-minute addition to the match.
Fans of Perez can breathe a sigh of relief as her title will not be stripped due to her injury concerns. The question remains, though, can Perez successfully defend her title against the talented field of competitors? Only time will tell.
