Last night’s episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network continued the tradition of delivering electrifying and unpredictable entertainment. From surprising interruptions to unexpected alliances, the developmental brand showcased a series of compelling moments that left fans buzzing.
The Meta-Four’s disruptive intervention during Trick Williams’ segment culminated in a surprising kiss between Williams and Lash Legend, adding an unexpected twist to the evening’s proceedings.
Meanwhile, viewers witnessed what could arguably be deemed the first-ever low-blow finish in women’s wrestling history, alongside Thea Hail’s decision to part ways with Jacy Jayne and reclaim her former persona.
However, amid the chaos, one of the most captivating and provocative moments unfolded through a heel promo delivered by Roxanne Perez.
Venting her frustrations, Perez admonished the audience for what she perceived as a lack of respect, taking aim at several fellow performers, including notable main roster stars.
Here, we delve into three main rosters WWE stars who found themselves in Perez’s crosshairs and explore the potential ramifications that could lead to future main roster feuds.
#3. Tiffany Stratton: A Target of Envy

Having transitioned from NXT to Friday Night SmackDown, Stratton’s success on the main roster seemingly triggered feelings of jealousy in Perez.
The animosity between the two is evident, with Perez’s comments hinting at lingering resentment towards Stratton’s spotlight-stealing prowess.
As Stratton continues to ascend on the main roster, Perez’s grievances may escalate into a full-fledged rivalry, adding an intriguing dynamic to future storylines.

While their paths briefly crossed on NXT last year, the interaction between Lynch and Perez left a lasting impression.
Perez’s recent jibe at Lynch’s NXT Women’s Title reign and subsequent rejection by the NXT Universe suggests unresolved tension.
As speculation mounts regarding Perez’s impending call-up to the main roster, a showdown between “The Man” and “The Prodigy” on Monday Night RAW could be on the horizon, presenting an enticing prospect for fans eagerly anticipating their clash.
#1. Roxanne Perez vs. Charlotte Flair: A Clash of Titans?
Charlotte Flair, hailed as WWE’s most decorated female athlete, boasts an illustrious resume that includes multiple world championship reigns and headline-grabbing performances.
Perez’s indirect claim to the title of NXT’s most decorated women’s star poses a direct challenge to Flair’s legacy, igniting speculation of a potential feud between the two powerhouse competitors.
