Roxanne Perez

Perez made her WWE debut during the April 15, 2022 episode of *NXT Level Up*, where she defeated Sloane Jacobs. She made her first *NXT* appearance on the April 19 episode, defeating Jacy Jayne. On the May 10 episode of *NXT*, Perez teamed with Wendy Choo and challenged NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) for the titles in a losing effort. The following week, Perez participated in the *NXT* Women's Breakout Tournament and defeated Kiana James in the first round. She then defeated Lash Legend in the semi-finals on the next episode of *NXT*. In the finals, Perez defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the tournament and a contract for a championship opportunity for a title of her choosing. At The Great American Bash, Perez and Cora Jade defeated Dolin and Jayne to become NXT Women's Tag Team Champions. The next week, Perez cashed in her guaranteed title shot on Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship in a title match, but Jade turned on her and cost Perez's championship opportunity. The following week, Jade threw her championship belt in the garbage; as a result, WWE recognized Perez as holding the titles by herself in a second separate reign. The following week, Perez relinquished the titles to Alundra Blayze to determine the new NXT Women's Tag Team Champions in the future. This led to a match between Jade and Perez on August 16 at Heatwave, where Jade was victorious after distracting Perez during the match. On the October 4 episode of *NXT*, a Weapons Wild match was set between Jade and Perez at Halloween Havoc. The two also agreed on "Pick Your Poison" matches, where both could choose any opponent in WWE for each other. Perez made her first main roster appearance on the October 14 episode of *SmackDown*, where she picked Raquel Rodriguez as Jade's opponent. The two would later team with Shotzi in a losing effort against Damage Control (Bayley, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky). On the October 18 episode of *NXT*, Perez lost to Rhea Ripley, who Jade chose to face against Perez in the "Pick Your Poison" match. Four days later, at Halloween Havoc, Perez defeated Jade in a Weapons Wild match. At Deadline, Perez won the inaugural Iron Survivor Challenge to become the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship. On the December 13 episode of *NXT*, Perez defeated Mandy Rose in a title match to win the NXT Women's Championship.

Perez entered her first Royal Rumble match at the titular event on January 28, 2023. She entered as the eighth entrant and lasted for more than four minutes before being eliminated by Damage Control (Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky). At NXT Vengeance Day, Perez retained the title against Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. At NXT Roadblock on March 7, Perez retained the title against Meiko Satomura. After the match, Perez suddenly collapsed and was stretchered out of the arena. She returned on the March 28 episode of *NXT* and stated she would defend her title at Stand & Deliver on April 1, in which she lost the title to Indi Hartwell in a match also involving Gigi Dolin, Zoey Stark, Tiffany Stratton and Lyra Valkyria, ending her reign at 110 days. On the April 18 episode of *NXT*, after Perez won a match against Stark, Hartwell challenged Perez to a title match, but Stratton interrupted, leading to a triple threat match for the title at Spring Breakin', where Perez failed to win the title. After the title was vacated, Perez was announced as one of eight women participating in the NXT Women's Championship tournament to determine a new champion at Battleground. She made her *WWE Main Event* debut on the May 11 episode, in a losing effort against Emma. Perez defeated Jacy Jayne in the first round of tournament, but lost to Tiffany Stratton in the semifinals on the following episode. After the match, she was attacked by a masked woman. The following episode, Blair Davenport revealed herself as the mystery attacker. This led to a Weapons Wild match at The Great American Bash, where Perez defeated Davenport. On night one of NXT Halloween Havoc on October 24, Perez defeated Kiana James in a Devil's Playground match. At Deadline on December 9, Perez was defeated James in a steel cage match due to an interference by Izzi Dame.

On the January 16, 2024 episode of *NXT*, Perez won a women's number one contender battle royal to face NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria for the title at Vengeance Day.
