“Roxanne Perez will be kept overnight in the hospital for observation and continued testing.”
The title match between Perez and Satomura was scheduled at NXT Roadblock 2023 after Perez called Satomura to be her tag team partner and the two defeated the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Katana Chance and Kayden Carter in a tag team match.
After they were successful, Perez awarded Satomura with a future title shot. The title match ended in the champion’s favor but now she’s in a hospital. It’s yet to be revealed whether Perez is dealing with a legit injury or not. She has been the NXT Women’s Champion since defeating former WWE Superstar Mandy Rose on the December 13 edition of NXT.
