Roxanne Perez’s move from NXT to the main roster has been anything but quiet. After wrapping up her second reign as NXT Women’s Champion and helping usher in names like Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia, Perez has quickly established herself as a key player on Monday Night Raw. Now aligned with The Judgment Day, Perez is not only adapting but thriving — and that hard work may soon translate into championship gold.
From NXT Standout to Raw Mainstay
Perez made her mark in NXT through consistency, resilience, and championship success. Her second reign as NXT Women’s Champion helped usher in a new era for the brand while creating space for major international stars like Vaquer and Giulia to make their debuts.
Now on Raw, Perez often teams up with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, forming a powerhouse trio under the ever-growing Judgment Day banner. With Judgment Day holding a strong presence across WWE programming, it’s no surprise that Perez is regularly featured on Raw, SmackDown dark matches, and international tours.
Backstage Praise for Her Dedication
According to PWInsider, WWE officials have been very impressed with how Perez is handling her new workload. Despite the nonstop schedule and physical demands, Perez continues to show up — not just for matches but for backstage segments, media, and tours.
“There’s been significant praise focused on her dedication and overall work ethic,” the report noted, with many backstage in awe of her ability to keep up at such a high level while also dealing with the usual wear and tear that comes from life on the road.
Championship Opportunity at Saturday Night’s Main Event
That level of commitment is about to pay off in a big way. On January 24th, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal, Canada, Perez and Liv Morgan will challenge Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
The pair earned this opportunity after a huge win in a triple threat tag team match against:
- Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
- Asuka & Kairi Sane
With Ripley and Sky holding both power and prestige in the division, this is no easy challenge — but The Judgment Day’s numbers advantage and Perez’s momentum could be the key to an upset.
Perez Also Set for Royal Rumble Appearance
If the championship opportunity wasn’t enough, Perez is also confirmed to appear in the Women’s Royal Rumble on January 31st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, alongside Morgan and Rodriguez.
With Raquel Rodriguez currently involved in a feud with Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, and The Judgment Day loaded with strong personalities, this Rumble match could be a launching pad to WrestleMania 42 for one of them.
There’s already speculation that The Judgment Day could use their numbers to control key portions of the match — and possibly send one of their own straight into a title match on the grandest stage of them all.
The Future Looks Bright for Roxanne Perez
At just 22 years old, Roxanne Perez has already done more than most wrestlers dream of — and she’s just getting started. Her commitment, skill, and ability to shine both in-ring and in storylines are earning her more spotlight each week. Whether it’s championship gold or a breakout Rumble performance, 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for the “Prodigy.”
