Roxanne Perez is currently a part of The Judgment Day on Raw. The former NXT Women’s Champion has been working as a henchwoman for her group, and it appears that the company has faltered in its support for “The Prodigy” since her move to the main roster. Here’s our take on why Roxanne Perez could do wonders if given the opportunity to compete against some excellent talent on Monday nights.

Roxanne Perez Needs a Singles Push

Roxanne Perez was the NXT Women’s Champion twice, with title reigns of 109 and 276 days, proving she can deliver a spectacle when given the opportunity. On the main roster, Perez has been working with The Judgment Day, but it doesn’t seem like the company has plans for a singles run.

The former Women’s Tag Team Champion has worked alongside Raquel Rodriguez and has still managed to stand out. This demonstrates that with the right storyline, she could be a great performer. Perez joined The Judgment Day in June this year, and it would be a compelling arc to end her time with the group after Liv Morgan returns and takes her out. This could set the stage for the singles push she deserves.

Roxanne Perez’s Wrestling Prowess Is Being Underutilized

Roxanne Perez is undeniably talented and charismatic. It’s no surprise that she became Dominik Mysterio’s on-screen love interest after joining The Judgment Day earlier this year. While this romantic storyline keeps her on television, Perez is far more capable than just being someone’s on-screen partner.

She has the potential to be an excellent heel and could face off against many women on the current roster without needing a championship. Maxxine Dupri, Natalya, or even her role model, AJ Lee, would be excellent opponents for her. All Perez needs is a push and belief in her talent. Fans are eager to see when that will happen on Raw.

Roxanne Perez Can Be a Great Women’s World Champion

Roxanne Perez is currently juggling multiple roles: a member of The Judgment Day, Dominik Mysterio’s on-screen love interest, and Raquel Rodriguez’s partner. However, these roles do not fully showcase her talent. The Raw roster features exceptional champions, with Stephanie Vaquer holding the Women’s World Championship and Becky Lynch as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

Perez knows the value of championship gold and has proven multiple times that she can be an outstanding singles champion. She could challenge Lynch or earn an opportunity against Vaquer for her title. This would be a breath of fresh air for the titles and for Perez, who seems to be relegated to obscurity.
