Welcome to another eWrestlingNews Question of the Day!
It was announced on Friday Night SmackDown that Giulia has joined the blue brand in a spontaneous trade (as the WWE Draft for 2025 has yet to be even teased, let alone announced)
What’s strange is that Giulia has been wrestling on Raw for the past several weeks, alongside fellow NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez as a tag team act. One would think if they were going to be called up to the main roster, they’d have done so as a team and put on Monday nights instead. However, WWE ran a breakup angle in a post-Raw social media exclusive, with Giulia saying there’s no “we” between them.
My question for you today is “With Giulia splintering off and going to SmackDown, do you think WWE will announce on Raw that Roxanne Perez has been traded over there, or will Roxanne either join Giulia at a later date or stick around in NXT?”
Remember to answer with your response in the comments below.
As far as my answer…
I can’t imagine WWE filmed a split between them with the intention of putting Roxanne on the same brand, unless they were going to feud. However, they didn’t air this footage, so there wouldn’t be public knowledge of this to spark that feud. If they were going to do that, they’d have had the break up on the show.
That means either Roxanne is on Raw to separate them, or she’s somehow still not getting out of NXT. The latter, I have to believe can’t be true. There’s no way WWE is still wondering if she’s ready for the main roster or not after all they’ve been doing with her.
Raw is a good fit for her. She can continue the story with Bayley if they want to revisit that, including if Bayley ends up winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Let’s say Becky Lynch beats Lyra Valkyria, then Bayley beats Becky, Roxanne could be the next in line for that belt.
It makes me wonder why WWE didn’t even try to put Roxanne with Cora Jade on the main roster. They must really have not seen enough from Jade and didn’t trust her at all. Odd. But I see bright things for Perez on Raw, and I think if she’s not holding the Women’s IC title by WrestleMania season, that’ll be astonishing.
