Roxanne Perez had a full circle moment.
The former Rok-C signed with WWE back in April of 2022 and debuted on NXT that same month. She’s fast become one of the most popular women in the NXT division and has already been a former NXT tag team champion. But, another big thing Roxanne did was make her debut on SmackDown on October 14th in a tag team bout, where she teamed with Shotzi and Raquel Rodriquez to take on Damage CTRL. Roxanne Perez spoke on El Brunch de WWE, where she described how her experience on SmackDown was surreal and added that her debut match was a full-circle moment, as SmackDown was the first live WWE show she ever attended. Perez also explained that she knew Shotzi and Rodriguez from her time on the independent scene, and Bayley happened to be one of her childhood idols.
That was very surreal. SmackDown was actually the first live WWE show that my dad took me to, so I was maybe like 11, and he surprised me. He’s like come on, we’re going somewhere. I was like, where are we going? We get to the arena, and I walk in, and they have all the WWE merch, and I was like, we’re at a WWE show, and it was SmackDown. So to have my debut on SmackDown and then be able to be in the ring with such amazing women, I actually know Raquel and Shotzi from the independent scene. Shotzi, I had a match with her once on the independent scene, and then Raquel, we never wrestled, but she was on the same show that I was in my debut, when I was 14. So I’ve known her for a very long time, so that was really cool to be paired up with them. Then being able to wrestle one of my childhood idols, Bayley, everything was just so perfect. It was a really full-circle moment, and my mom was there as well. She was in the crowd, and she was so happy, so yeah, that was surreal,
