WWE and NXT are both undergoing significant changes and storyline developments as WrestleMania approaches. NXT, under the guidance of Shawn Michaels, has been no exception to this trend.
The recent conclusion of the Roadblock episode has stirred up considerable discussion, particularly surrounding one NXT star: Roxanne Perez.
At WWE NXT Roadblock 2024, one of the standout matches was between The Kabuki Warriors and Tatum Paxley and Lyra Valkyria for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Despite Paxley and Valkyria’s efforts, they failed to capture the gold. However, the aftermath of the match took a dramatic turn when Roxanne Perez launched a brutal attack on Lyra Valkyria, leaving her needing medical attention.
While NXT General Manager Ava and Shawn Michaels appeared visibly concerned, the repercussions for Perez’s actions remain uncertain.
Perez had already found herself in trouble with Ava a few weeks prior to this incident. While consequences for her actions are conceivable, they might not materialize until after WrestleMania weekend, potentially at NXT’s Stand & Deliver event.
With Valkyria possibly sidelined due to the attack, Perez may demand a match at Stand & Deliver, though a response from NXT management may be delayed.
Nevertheless, once Valkyria makes her return, she could seek retribution and challenge Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver on April 6, 2024.

Despite the controversy surrounding Perez’s actions, she received an unexpected show of support from CM Punk. Punk shared Perez’s tweet endorsing aggression, indicating a possible alliance despite the fallout from Roadblock.
Their backstage camaraderie, along with that of Cora Jade, could explain Punk’s endorsement despite the controversy surrounding Perez’s actions.
In a recent tweet, Perez seemed to acknowledge her actions but showed no signs of remorse, suggesting that further confrontations with Valkyria could be on the horizon.
As tensions between Perez and Valkyria escalate, fans are eagerly anticipating how their rivalry will unfold, with a potential showdown at NXT Stand & Deliver looming large on the horizon.
