Roxanne Perez, one of the fastest rising stars in NXT 2.0, has reflected on her WWE run so far.
She is the former Rok-C, who had a breakout 2021 by working for MLW and Impact Wrestling and being crowned the ROH Women’s World Champion.
While speaking to Denise Salcedo during the WrestleMania 39 Launch Party, the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion reflected on her journey:
“I feel like it’s so surreal, honestly. I still have moments almost every day, I’m like driving to the PC and I’m like, ‘Wait, I’m a WWE Superstar. This is crazy.’ But yeah, I still feel like a little kid every single day that I go to work. I feel like everything has been happening so fast, but I feel like everything happens the way it’s meant to happen. It’s so cool getting to work with Shawn Michaels. Literally the first time that I met him, I was like a little kid. I was like, ‘Oh my god, don’t cry, don’t cry.’ But yeah, it’s so cool. He’s awesome, he’s helped me so much, and Matt Bloom, he’s like our head coach there, and he’s been so awesome. Just like the environment there and all the girls that I get to work with. I get to work some of the girls that I knew from the indies like Indi Hartwell, Cora Jade, so yeah, it’s really cool.”
While with WWE, Perez has won the first Women’s Breakout Tournament and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles with Cora Jade in just four months.
Perez continued, “It’s crazy, it’s surreal because I’m only 20, so I have done a lot in my wrestling career, but it’s so surreal to me because I would have never thought that, when I was younger, I always knew like okay, I’m gonna be a WWE Superstar. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it. I was like I don’t how I’m gonna do it, but I’m gonna do it. But I never thought that I would be friggin’ NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion within like four months. Honestly, I don’t know, it just feels like my love for WWE and this business, it just makes the little 10-year-old me so so happy and proud because I just never would have thought that all of this would be happening so, so fast, but I’m thankful.”
