Roxanne Perez: Winning The NXT Women’s Championship Within A Few Months Was A Lot Of Pressure

Roxanne Perez comments on what’s different for her this year compared to who she was at last year’s Stand And Deliver.

Roxanne Perez feels she has so much more confidence heading into Stand And Deliver.

On Saturday morning, Perez will be challenging for the WWE NXT Women’s Championship at the Premium Live Event as she takes on Lyra Valkyria. Roxanne is looking to take back the title she claims she never lost and become a two time champion.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo during WrestleMania media day, Roxanne Perez was asked about what emotions she is feeling heading into NXT Stand And Deliver.

“My gosh, so many, but most of all, I feel like I have so much more confidence than I did last year. I’ve been talking about this. I came into WWE as a fan. I grew up loving it. So coming in, getting the championship within a few months of being here was a lot of pressure, especially having that moniker, the prodigy on my back. Looking around, being surrounded by all these people that I looked up to, I think it was definitely a lot of pressure. I think I kind of listened to the bad thoughts a little more than I should have and I think now I’m like, I’m throwing all of that away. I know I’m the best I know that I’m one of the best in this locker room in the WWE so yeah, I think everybody’s going to see the prodigy is two-time NXT Women’s Champion tomorrow.”
