Giulia has had a strong run in NXT since she debuted, and it will be exciting to see what she brings as champion. But what does this mean for Roxanne Perez?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perez made her NXT debut in 2022, and ever since she won the NXT Breakout Star Tournament that year, she has been one of the fan favorites. Perez has been one of the top women in the locker room, winning the NXT Women\u2019s Championship twice and being in extensive main event matches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans know how to spot a star and found that in Roxanne Perez. She can cut promos, engage the audience as a heel or face, and follow up with impressive matches. Perez shows the qualities needed to become the next star on the WWE main roster. Is that her next stop now that she has lost the title?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roxanne Perez has accomplished a lot at NXT, and this would be a perfect time to finish up her time there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Royal Rumble<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Royal Rumble around the corner, Perez has a few weeks to wrap up her time in NXT and possibly make her appearance at the Royal Rumble. In 2023, Perez was entrant 27 in the women\u2019s Royal Rumble match but was eliminated by Tiffany Stratton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her appearance in the 2023 Royal Rumble match was just for the night as she returned to NXT. If she appears in this year&#8217;s women\u2019s Royal Rumble match, she should remain on the main roster and make her official debut on the following Raw or Smackdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RR6GzLHbMek?si=4yQsSKyaJ3POVrGl\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is debatable whether she will stay on the main roster at that time, but her official call-up and appearance in the Royal Rumble match are likely to come soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly everyone who has stepped foot in NXT has improved, whether they have continued to succeed in the company. There is no doubt that these wrestlers learn a lot, as legends in the business teach them. Perez is one that we think and hope will be very successful in the company&#8217;s future based on this experience in NXT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Possible Opponents for Roxanne Perez<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it has been sad to see Perez\u2019s reign as NXT Women\u2019s Champion come to an end, hopefully, that means she is starting her next chapter on the main roster. Her debut on the main roster would bring many new rivalries and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that they have evolved into their characters and continued to improve, Tiffany Stratton would be a great opponent for Perez. They haven\u2019t faced each other since Stratton joined NXT, and with their evolution, a feud between them would be like seeing it for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hj_PhuWXInU?si=82w5jAcB8Sx4Z86u\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After having some matches on the main roster, Perez would be a perfect contender for the Women\u2019s United States Championship. As of right now, that would mean that her opponent would be Chelsea Green. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter who Green competes against, fans love to see it. A feud between them would be nothing less than entertaining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhea Ripley would be a new opponent, giving Perez one intense fight. They are very different character-wise and in-ring style. Regarding body stature, Perez is 5\u20191&#8243;compared to Ripley\u2019s 5\u20197&#8243; with clashing wrestling styles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their differences will create an interesting feud and potentially a fantastic match, as Perez must work around Ripley&#8217;s brutality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roxanne Perez already has plenty of accomplishments in the company, but she is only getting started. Although she feels she has done everything she can in NXT, it is time for her next chapter on the main roster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h2>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
