Shawn Michaels Says That Roxanne Perez Stepped Into Her Own As The Champion During Feud With Chase U
Shawn Michaels talks Roxanne Perez’s potential main roster call-up.
Throughout 2024, many fans have speculated about the possibility of Roxanne Perez being called up to the main roster. Notably, Perez has been in NXT since April 2022 and throughout that time, she’s held the NXT Women’s Championship for nearly 300 days.
On the latest edition of Busted Open Radio, Shawn Michaels was asked about a possible call-up for Perez/
“I think that’s a tough call. I think she can. I will say this, I agree with you guys, it was probably two or three months ago, at a point in your career, one of those times, you have a match, and sort of that lightbulb goes on, and everything begins to make a little bit more sense. That enables you to then begin to carry yourself with a confidence and a comfortability that she didn’t have before. Roxanne had that match, I think for me, that turning point was with Chase U, and I think she had that opportunity out there, and she stepped into her own as the champion. Now look, I think any time you go to the main roster, much like you’re talking about Giulia, it’s an entirely different world, it’s a big move. Now how you deal with that move I think determines how well you do. Whether she steps into that with the confidence and the aggression and the comfortability that she has right now, and she does that on the main roster, you bet I think she can be successful. A lot of it is how you yourself carry yourself when you’re in those environments.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Michaels gave his thoughts on Trick Williams vs. Ethan Page. Learn more about those comments here.
