NXT's Roxanne Perez Makes Main Roster WWE Debut On SmackDown

NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez officially has a main-roster WWE match under her belt! The result didn't go her way, but she showed the WWE Universe why she's one of the most exciting rising stars in the world o professional wrestling.Perez's main-roster debut went down at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana during the October 14 edition of SmackDown on FOX, but was announced during this week's edition of NXT on USA Network. The 20-year-old Texan is currently feuding with her former tag partner Cora Jade, and the two women are set to go one-on-one in a Weapons Wild Match at NXT Halloween Havoc on October 22.
Before they do battle at Halloween Havoc, Perez and Jade have been given the opportunity to pick each other's opponent for next week's edition of NXT. Jade will appear on Monday's Raw to select Perez's opponent, while Perez chose Jade's opponent during a backstage segment on her first-ever main-roster appearance.
In the locker room, Perez was chatting to former NXT star Shotzi when former NXT Women's Champion Raquel Rodriguez walked in. Perez asked Rodriguez to be Cora Jade's opponent ... but the segment didn't end there. The number of former NXT Superstars in the segment increased by three when Damage Control (Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai, and Bayley) entered. Bayley took issue with Perez's choice and Perez called attention to Bayley's losing streak. By the end of the segment, a six-women tag match between Damage Control and the team of Perez, Rodriguez, and Shotzi had been scheduled.
Bayley ended up pinning Perez for the win in the match, but the former Ring of Honor Women's Champion fought valiantly and cemented her status as one of WWE's future megastars.
At just 20 years old, Roxanne Perez (real name, Carla Gonzalez) is one of the most highly-rated female wrestlers in the world right now. She began training at the age of 13 and was taken under the tutelage of WWE Hall of Famer Booker T when she turned 16. Her potential is off the charts, so it's no surprise that WWE wanted to acquire her services.
