Roxanne Perez Reacts to Winning the NXT Women’s Championship
After winning the NXT Women’s Championship from Mandy Rose in the main event, the 22-year-old was interviewed backstage. Roxanne said that she started wrestling when she was 14-years-old and everything she has gone through to get to WWE was worth it.
2016 is the year I started wrestling, I was 14-years-old and that was the day I said I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that I get to WWE.
No matter what it takes, I am going to get there. My whole life revolved around wrestling, up until now.
Everything I did, literally every single thing I did was to be here and for this championship.
I’m sure you saw that I just broke down into tears out there but everything was worth it. All the trials and tribulations, the ups and the downs, every single thing was so worth it.
And this is proof to every little girl out there that no matter what you tell yourself, no matter what doubts there are in your mind. It can happen.
