WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Roxanne Perez recently spoke on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, reflecting on her recent title victory and a significant personal milestone at WWE’s Evolution 2 event. Speaking from her journey as a rising star in the industry, Perez shared her goals for reaching new heights, including chasing the prestigious WWE Grand Slam and headlining WrestleMania.
Stepping Up Amidst Challenges
Perez earned the Women’s Tag Team Titles by stepping in for an injured Liv Morgan, partnering with Raquel Rodriguez to keep the championship in Judgment Day’s hands. She described how she felt about replacing Morgan under such circumstances:
Obviously I was sad for Liv. You know, injuries are always the worst,
Perez shared.
But I knew that I could be the perfect person to step in for her and step in for the Judgment Day and make sure that they keep all the gold in the clubhouse.

I remember watching the first Evolution with [my mom] and sitting there and telling her, ‘one day I’m going to be a part of that,’
Perez recalled.
Fly forward a few years later, I’m backstage with my mom, and we’re watching the main event together with all the women surrounding us. It was just a really cool moment.
