Some great news for the prodigy and NXT/WWE fans, NXT’s Roxanne Perez is on the cusp of a full-time move to the WWE main roster.
As per Fightful Select, Perez is expecting to head to Raw or SmackDown “sooner rather than later”, with the outlet told in early January that an imminent call-up was in the future for the former NXT Women’s Champion.
While there’s no set timeline for the Roxanne call-up, the 23-year-old’s performance in the women’s Royal Rumble this past weekend is said to all but confirm her impending NXT exit. There, the Texas native entered at #3 and put it in a record-setting one-hour-and-seven-minute performance that saw her make it through to the Rumble’s final two – with Charlotte Flair eliminating the Prodigy as the Queen became the first woman in history to win two Royal Rumbles.
A move to the main roster has long been on the cards for Roxanne Perez, with the one-time Rok-C having done pretty much all there is to do in NXT. A former ROH Women’s Champion, Perez signed with WWE in early 2022 and was one-half of the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions – with Cora Jade – by July of that year. She would then win the first of her two NXT Women’s Championships that December, defeating Mandy Rose for that prize.
As for being ready to move to Raw or SmackDown, one source that Fightful spoke to noted how Perez has long been ready to make that jump.
