WWE NXT star Roxanne Perez spoke with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp during a virtual media event on several topics, including her sink and swim moment in NXT.
Perez said, “My very first match in WWE, I wrestled Jacy Jayne, and we got time cut in that match. It was my debut for NXT and I remember Shawn Michaels telling me, ‘We’re throwing you in the deep end, you can either sink or swim.’ I think I swam and swam pretty well. Ever since then, I think that I realized that I feel comfortable and I can’t wait to do this for the rest of my life.”
