Roxanne Perez Aims for Historic Win in NXT Women’s Championship Match at Vengeance Day

Roxanne Perez is set to participate in a groundbreaking match this Saturday night as she competes in a fatal four-way for the NXT Women’s Championship during Vengeance Day. This pivotal event promises to be a thrilling showcase of talent in the world of professional wrestling.

Perez recently made headlines at the Royal Rumble, where she made history by being the longest-lasting competitor in the match. Now, she faces formidable opponents, including defending champion Giulia, Bayley, and Cora Jade, all vying for the prestigious title. If victorious, Perez would become the first three-time NXT women’s champion, following in the footsteps of two-time champions Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler, who were promoted to the main roster.

A High-Stakes Showdown Following an Intense Build-Up

The stakes rose significantly after NXT general manager Ava Raine announced the fatal four-way format for the title match. This followed Jade’s impressive victory over Bayley on the last NXT episode leading up to Vengeance Day. In a recent conversation with Fox News Digital, Perez expressed her disappointment at the altered match format yet remained relentlessly focused on achieving her goal of championship glory.

Perez’s rivalry with Bayley has intensified recently, culminating in a dramatic showdown. The youthful dynamo even donned one of Bayley’s classic gimmicks, aiming to rattle her opponent. “It’s so much fun,” Perez reflected on her antics. “Did you see the look on her face when I came out as her little old ‘Hugger’ Bayley? I think I got to her. She may have got me after, but I think I definitely got to her. It’s been very enjoyable.”

A Lifelong Dream Realized

At just 23 years of age, Perez views her match against Bayley as a career milestone. Reflecting on her aspirations, she stated, “I feel like I kind of manifested this since I was a kid. In the past few years, I’ve been saying I want to step in the ring with Bayley. She’s one of my dream opponents, dream matches. But now I need to prove to her that ‘The Prodigy’ is just a little better, way, way better.”

Perez secured her first NXT Women’s Championship on December 13, 2022, holding the title for an impressive 108 days before losing in a six-way ladder match at NXT Stand & Deliver in 2023. She reclaimed the championship at Stand & Deliver 2024 against Lyra Valkyria, demonstrating her resilience and determination.

The Impact of Giulia

Giulia, a prominent competitor and former Stardom star, defeated Perez at New Year’s Evil in 2025, marking a significant point in Perez’s journey. This match was a reminder of the intense competition that exists within NXT and the caliber of athletes on the roster.

In her conversation with Fox News Digital, Perez articulated the significance of holding the NXT Women’s Championship. She stated, “Winning it the first time means everything to me. I solidified myself as one of the best wrestlers that WWE has. I also proved I am ‘The Prodigy.’ That title was my first singles title in WWE. Every hurdle I overcame to get here was worth it.”

Passion and Determination Drive Perez

Perez’s enthusiasm for the NXT Women’s Championship is palpable. She asserted, “I don’t think that there’s one girl on that roster that loves that title more than I do or wants it more than I do. That’s exactly why I’m going to become a three-time NXT women’s champion. I plan to take the women’s championship straight to RAW and SmackDown. However, if I decide to vacate it, someone else may get a chance. But in my perspective, it belongs to me. Giulia’s just holding it for now.”

The Anticipation for Vengeance Day

As Vengeance Day approaches, excitement builds around the event taking place in Washington, D.C., starting at 6 p.m. ET. Fans are gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying evening of wrestling, with Perez’s title match at the forefront of many discussions.
