Roxanne Perez has been presenting a heel side of hers throughout all these weeks of NXT programming as we head into Stand and Deliver 2024 premium live event. With her career resurgence, she is also looking forward to picking up the NXT Women’s Championship for the second time in her career as she gears up to challenge Lyra Valkyria at the PLE set for this weekend.
Besides, there are also speculations regarding a change of roster for her once the PLE gets over. According to insights from Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan, Roxanna Perez’s trajectory within WWE is creating significant buzz behind the scenes. Brennan reported that the bright star has left a lasting impression on WWE officials with each previous main roster appearance, leading to speculation that her transition to the main roster is inevitable.

This is not the first time that rumors started around Roxanne Perez moving into the main roster. She previously made several appearances on the main roster, including show-ups in back-to-back Royal Rumble matches in 2023 and 2024. Back then, many thought that WWE was testing the waters with the former talent that once gained attention around the independent scene.

Roxanne Perez could be kept on NXT for character portrayal
It was further added that sources within NXT reveal a desire for her to remain on the brand for the time being. This comes from a position that Roxanne Perez is currently in as she continues to develop her new heel persona, and it will take time to become full-fledged.
There are also calls for Roxanne Perez to even capture for NXT Women’s Championship during the NXT Stand And Deliver event, this weekend, and if this remains the outcome then there will be further delays in the move.
It was further indicated that the absence of her former tag team partner and rival Cora Jade has instigated the heel turn of Roxanne Perez. Jade has been sidelined with a torn ACL and NXT insiders clarify that while the plans for Perez’s character evolution became a reality before Jade’s injury, it was kept solid after Jade’s injury. The two were also supposed to reunite as heels but those have now been scrapped.
