Roxanne Perez hasn’t wrestled since the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and now on TikTok, she has revealed that her absence stems from needing surgery to remove a benign mass in her back, which had caused significant pain for months. The former NXT Women’s Champion explained she didn’t want time off but prioritized her health. No return timeline was specified, though she said she’ll be wrestling again “in no time.“
24-year-old Perez, born Carla Gonzalez in 2001, made her debut in 2018 as Rok-C, becoming the youngest ROH Women’s World Champion. Subsequently, she signed with WWE in 2022 and won NXT’s inaugural Women’s Breakout Tournament, the Iron Survivor Challenge, the NXT Women’s Championship, and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship, indicating WWE sees big things in her. And while she has yet to have the same success on the main roster, being part of The Judgment Day stable has seen her featured prominently on television.
