WWE Thrilled With Current Champion After Heel Turn

All the talk in NXT might be about Giulia at the moment but it seems those at the top of WWE are thrilled with the performances of someone else on the brand.

No Mercy saw Roxanne Perez defend the NXT Women’s Championship for the 7th time in her second reign as champion against Jaida Parker. Perez proved to be the best the NXT women’s division had to offer as she picked up the win but the real headlines were made after the match.

The lights went out in the arena and as unfamiliar music played, it soon became clear that Giulia had finally arrived in WWE. Giulia confronted the champion in a staredown as Perez defiantly raised her title in her newest rival’s face.

On the 3rd of September edition of NXT, Roxanne Perez came to the ring to revel in her big win over Parker. However, she was quickly interrupted by Chelsea Green who indicated she wanted a shot at the title but it looks like that will have to wait.

Giulia then made her way to the ring and took out Green before making a challenge of her own. The Italian-Japanese star simply stated “Me, you, CW” as she challenged Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship on the premiere edition of NXT on the CW Network which will take place on October 1st.

WWE Delighted With Roxanne Perez

Despite the buzz around the company’s new signing, Fightful Select has reported that officials in WWE are “incredibly thrilled” with Roxanne Perez’s performances as a heel during her reign as NXT Women’s Champion.

WWE wanted to keep Perez on NXT during the WWE Draft to allow her to develop her heel character before she eventually graduates to the company’s main roster.
