The November 19 edition of NXT promises to be a newsworthy edition of the show as the company prepares for their next premium live event, NXT Deadline, on December 7. That being said, the champion is taking some much-deserved time off this week.
Roxanne Perez made it very clear that she won’t be around for NXT this week. The NXT Women’s Champion is on vacation, and she doesn’t seem mad about missing time from work at all. In fact, she used it to generate even more heat for herself online. In the video, Roxanne taunted everyone who is trying to get in the Iron Survivor Challenge while hanging out at the beach, and then Sol Ruca showed up to catch some waves and remind her that she will see her at Deadline.
Perez logged onto X, and she posted a video of herself on vacation. Her caption also made it clear that she is only thinking about herself with this move, which was a great heel way to take some time off from television.
“Champ’s on vacation, but of course there’s fans everywhere. Anyway, happy #TuesdayNightRox to me and only me.”
Although Roxanne Perez is great at getting heat, she also thrived as a babyface champion. It will be interesting to see how long she keeps up her heel antics, but CM Punk has nothing but great things to say about what she does in the ring.
CM Punk has become a mentor to Roxanne Perez. At this point, we’re starting to see how that knowledge is paying off, because this video drop from Perez worked like a charm to make her presence known on NXT without even showing up. It also wouldn’t be a surprise to see Shawn Michaels air this video during the show this week.
Roxanne Perez’s next challenger for her NXT Women’s Title is yet to be determined at this point. They are having a Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match at Deadline, and Sol Ruca is the only person who has qualified for that yet. Only time will tell if Perez will defend her title at the December 7 premium live event.
