Roxanne Perez ‘Collapses’ After Retaining NXT Women’s Championship At NXT Roadblock

Roxanne Perez said she would leave it all in the ring at NXT Roadblock, and she did.

The WWE NXT Women’s Champion was in one of her most challenging fights to date against Meiko Satomura. Toward the end of the match, Meiko would hit a scorpion kick on the floor and roll the champion in, with the only thing saving Roxanne from getting pinned being the bottom rope. 

Roxanne would eventually muster up enough strength to roll up the former NXT UK Women’s Champion. Still, in celebration after the match, Roxanne Perez collapsed and had to be stretchered out of the arena to close WWE NXT.

As the show went off the air, Shawn Michaels could be seen asking medical personnel if she was responsive and helping the stretcher carrying Roxanne make its way to the ambulance.

In an update, WWE announced that Perez would kept in the hospital overnight for observation and more testing.
