Video: Roxanne Perez
You name it, she's done it. 👊@roxanne_wwe is one of the greatest champions NXT has ever seen, and she doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. 😤#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/OZD2SmpNPq
— WWE (@WWE) December 25, 2024
We take a look at the Women’s World Champion Roxanne Perez with a video profile.
She says when she first walked through the doors of NXT, no one thought she would be one of the greatest champions. She was 20 years old and had some buzz from the independent scene. WWE did not know they made one of the best signings. Is that cocky? Maybe. She mentions everything she has accomplished. If you traveled the whole world, it is too small compared to stepping in the ring with her. No one beats the Prodigy.
She says there have been some bumps on the road. She has spent the last three years getting in the conversation as the greatest. She would put this division against the all time greats. At 23, most women don’t know what they want to do, but she is breaking records and making history. If you were someone like Simone Biles or Kaitlyn Clark, you might understand how great she is.
Giulia walks into New Year’s Evil as the underdog against someone younger and smaller who will carry the division into 2025. That doesn’t speak about how good Giulia is, but how great she is.
Backstage: Lexis KingWe take a look at the end of the Heritage Cup match.
Lexis King is with the Trophy and Sarah congratulate him and she wants to ask him about winning.
Lexis says if he was a man of integrity he knew he could win. He says he could have taken short cuts but he didn’t. King says he doesn’t need short cuts to win. King says a huge weight has been taken off his shoulders and he walks away.

Ethan Page says he has seen the outrage over what he did to Je’Von Evans. Je’Von Evans is to blame for Page’s actions. He says he had to listen to Evans carry on about how great his year is and now it ends with you eating through a straw because of him. You talk about my personal life and you want to see the real Ethan Page. Now you have it. You sat there in shock, pain, and fear. No longer the kid with an infectious smile. Page says he took it from him. Page says he thought about it for a week and maybe he should have felt some remorse or regret. Last week was the highlight of his career. Page thanks Evans for letting him find his smile, by taking his.
