Roxanne Perez Officially Joins WWE Raw Roster

ST. LOUIS, MO — Roxanne Perez has officially joined WWE Raw, as announced by General Manager Adam Pearce ahead of the May 19 episode. The two-time NXT Women’s Champion signed a Raw-exclusive contract after months of speculation regarding her call-up.
Perez has been a strong contender on the main roster, finishing as the runner-up in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in February and qualifying for the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match shortly after. Her appearances escalated after she attacked IYO SKY and Stephanie Vaquer on the Raw following WrestleMania.
During her time on Raw, Perez formed a temporary alliance with fellow wrestler Giulia. However, their partnership fizzled after a loss to IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. Giulia has since moved to SmackDown, where she will compete in a Triple Threat Money in the Bank Qualifying Match against Charlotte Flair and Women’s United States Champion Zelina Vega this week.
Tonight, Perez will also take part in a qualifying match, facing Natalya and Becky Lynch for a chance to enter the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Fans are eagerly awaiting the outcomes of both matches, marking a new chapter for Perez on Raw.
This call-up has been in the works for months, as Perez has distinguished herself as a top star since joining WWE in 2022. She previously held the NXT Women’s Championship twice and teamed up with Cora Jade to win the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles.
