Roxanne Perez had words for the women in WWE after qualifying for the Elimination Chamber.
On the February 17th episode of WWE RAW, Roxanne Perez faced Raquel Rodriguez in a high-stakes qualifying match. The former NXT Women’s Champions went back and forth, with Perez using her agility to counter Rodriguez’s sheer power. While Rodriguez dominated at times, “The Prodigy” showed resilience and refused to stay down.
Meanwhile, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Naomi and Bianca Belair confronted Liv Morgan at ringside and launched an attack. The distraction proved costly for Rodriguez, allowing Roxanne Perez to capitalize and hit Pop Rox for the victory. This earned her a spot in the women’s Elimination Chamber match at the PLE of the same name.
The former NXT Women’s Champion spoke on Twitter after the show, bragging about her victory on Raw. Roxanne Perez claimed that nobody was on her level and vowed to become the next Women’s World Champion in the WWE.
“The Prodigy is going to the Elimination Chamber!” Roxanne Perez proclaimed backstage on Raw.
“Why? Why? Because nobody is on my level. Not anybody from NXT and not anybody from Raw or Smackdown. And especially not Raquel Rodriguez. How embarrassing, right? How embarrassing that Raquel Rodriguez lost to Roxanne Perex – your future Women’s World Champion. See ya at WrestleMania.”
The winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber match will earn a shot at the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Roxanne Perez Reflects On Her Time In Ring Of Honor
WWE NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez was a recent guest on the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. When asked about her time in Ring of Honor, Perez said she learned a lot in that promotion and believes her time there helped prepare her for WWE.
“I learned so so much,” Roxanne Perez said. “I’m very thankful for the time that I had there because I’m not too sure I would’ve been as ready as I was stepping into the WWE if it wasn’t for my time in Ring Of Honor.
“Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise, they were the two people that were in charge of the women’s division and they were just awesome, especially Maria Kanellis, she’s another person that as soon as she saw me, as soon as she saw my work in the ring, she was like, that’s the girl, that’s the one.
“I definitely know that WWE noticed me because of me becoming the inaugural women’s champion. So yeah, I owe a lot of that to Maria and Bobby and that’s a really good time in my career.” [H/T: Fightful]
