Roxanne Perez Gets Emotional Over WWE Star’s Release

There have been quite a few releases from WWE in the past month.

Roxanne Perez has made headwaves since her move from NXT. However, a fellow NXT star was unfortunately released from her contract in May. In an interview recently, Perez got emotional about her friend, Cora Jade’s release.

Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade have been together through thick and thin. They have had a storied rivalry and have been on the same team on different occasions. While she was in conversation with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Perez looked back at her time with Jade and held back tears while talking about the former WWE Superstar’s impact on her career.

“I absolutely love Cora so much. And, yeah, we definitely talked about making it to the WWE together before we even made it, and being able to share all of those moments that we were able to share together from her last (NXT) match, being to tag with me was really cool. And I feel like, when I look back at my NXT career — oh, that kind of made me cry — I feel like, when I look back at my NXT career, I just see Cora and how much she helped me, how much she helped me with my character work, and to be comfortable with who I am. My heel turn was close to us teaming up again together. So being able to do all of these promos with her and these backstages really brought out a different side of me and a more comfortable side, and a side that I had never really shown to the world or the crowd before. So yeah, I absolutely love Cora, and it’s hard to do it without her now, but I know she’s gonna absolutely kill it in whatever she decides to do. I think everybody should definitely keep an eye on Elayna Black because she’s gonna do some really cool things.”

Roxanne Perez Will Be In Action At Money In The Bank

Roxanne Perez has made headwaves since her main roster signing. On the night of her official WWE RAW debut, the former NXT Champion beat Becky Lynch and Natalya in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match. She will face off against top names such as Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Giulia, Naomi, and Stephanie Vaquer.

Not only has she made a splash by qualifying for the coveted Ladder match, but Roxanne Perez was instantly introduced into the Judgment Day as the group’s new member by Finn Balor. She immediately struck a chord with Dominik Mysterio by gifting him a box of chicken nuggets. The introduction didn’t sit well with Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan, who have voiced their concerns on the show.
