Roxanne Perez Demands Title Shot Amid NXT Championship Chaos

Orlando, FL — Roxanne Perez made headlines on Saturday as she confronted NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer after Vaquer successfully defended her title at Stand & Deliver. Following a high-stakes Fatal 4-Way match, Perez interrupted Vaquer’s photo session, declaring her desire for a championship match.

“Look at you, basking in the glory of the division that I made famous,” Perez said, demanding to pose with the title instead of Vaquer. NXT General Manager Ava, however, dismissed Perez’s claims, stating, “No one wants to hear this.”

The confrontation escalated backstage, where Perez insisted that Vaquer either hand over the title or grant her a title shot. Tensions boiled over as vulgarities were exchanged, leading to a brief physical altercation before they were separated. Perez, a former two-time NXT Women’s Champion, has been on a mission to reclaim her glory but faced disappointment with her recent performance, where she walked out on her partner during a tag team match.

At Stand & Deliver, while Vaquer retained her championship against fierce competitors Giulia, Jordynne Grace, and Jaida Parker, Perez found herself competing in an elimination match that saw her abandon Cora Jade, leading to their exit from the contest. This has set the stage for a potential clash between NXT’s past and present, raising fans’ anticipation for when they might meet in the ring.

The stakes were high at the T-Mobile Arena during WrestleMania 41 week, as Perez’s assertiveness could lead to a drastic change in the women’s title landscape. As the event unfolded, the Fatal 4-Way for the Women’s Tag Team Titles showcased fierce competition, with Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley emerging as the new number one contenders.

“This is a turning point for us,” Paxley said post-match about their win against Meta-Four’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, along with Fatal Influence’s Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne. “We’re ready to seize our moment.”

Meanwhile, the bustling atmosphere continued as NXT showcased its dynamic roster, highlighting future matches that will undoubtedly pivot the title landscape. The growing animosity between Perez and Vaquer adds a personal layer to the ongoing storylines developing in NXT.

As fans await the next chapter between Perez and Vaquer, all eyes are on the NXT Championship, which has turned into a battlefield where past victories and current reigns collide.
