In a shocking turn of events, WWE has broken one of its own rules just three days after its implementation, leaving fans and wrestlers alike wondering about the implications.
The rule in question, set by Triple H, stated that rosters would be locked when it comes to stars competing on other brands, effective the day after Backlash France.
However, this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW saw Chelsea Green being drafted to SmackDown, only to be sent to NXT to challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship.
The sudden change has sparked controversy, with many questioning whether General Manager Ava is abusing her power to punish Roxanne Perez for accusing her of corruption.
The drama unfolded backstage on RAW, where Roxanne was seen arguing with Ava, claiming that she was being targeted unfairly. The tension escalated when Roxanne was told she would have to defend her title against Chelsea Green, despite the supposed roster lock.
The move has raised eyebrows, as it seems to create a loophole in the system. Are stars allowed to head to NXT if they want, or is this a one-time exception? The motivation behind Ava’s decision remains unclear, but it’s undeniable that Roxanne’s accusations have stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Roxanne’s initial frustration stemmed from being left out of the 2024 WWE Draft. She had hoped to be drafted to RAW or SmackDown, but as the champion, she was deemed ineligible.
Other NXT stars like Kiana James, Carmelo Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, Lyra Valkyria, Baron Corbin, and Blair Davenport were all called up, leaving Roxanne feeling overlooked.
As the situation unfolds, fans are left wondering what this means for the future of WWE’s rosters and championships. Will we see more exceptions to the rule, or is this a one-time punishment for Roxanne’s outspokenness?
One thing is certain – the road ahead will be filled with twists and turns as WWE navigates this unexpected detour.
