Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez have maintained a strong hold on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship since their successful defense at Evolution earlier this month. However, their reign could be threatened at SummerSlam, where they are slated to defend the titles against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, while Liv Morgan is rumored to be making a significant return after injury.
Current Dynamics Within The Judgment Day and Title Defense Plans
After Liv Morgan’s injury sidelined her, Raquel Rodriguez initially hesitated to team up with Roxanne Perez, who had stepped in as her partner. Despite this, the duo has gelled well enough to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles in a brutal fatal-four-way match. As SummerSlam approaches, Perez and Rodriguez prepare to face the formidable team of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
Speculation surrounds Morgan’s potential return at SummerSlam, with fans expecting her to intervene in the title match. Morgan’s history of uncertainty regarding Perez’s involvement with The Judgment Day could set the stage for a dramatic shift if she turns against her former partners. This comeback might also mark a face turn for Morgan, disrupting the group’s current dominance.
The Judgment Day faction continues its impressive run in WWE, holding not only the Women’s Tag Team Championship but also the Intercontinental and World Tag Team Championships, signaling their widespread influence and control across divisions despite Morgan’s absence.
Roxanne Perez’s Aspirations and Connection to WWE History
As one of the younger talents on the WWE roster, Roxanne Perez has been shaped and inspired by legendary figures in women’s wrestling. Among those is former Divas Champion AJ Lee, who, although retired from in-ring competition for over ten years, remains a significant influence on Perez’s career.
In a candid interview with Ring The Belle, Perez revealed the deep personal significance a match against AJ Lee would hold for her. She recalled meeting Lee as a young fan and how that moment fueled her ambitions to become a professional wrestler herself.
“I can’t retire until I have a match against AJ Lee, so… I can’t be 80 years old wrestling either. She’s great. I met her when I was 12 years old and I was crying. I was a fan and I was telling her, I’m going to be a wrestler one day. She was so supportive and so great. Then I met her a couple of years later when I was with Ring of Honor. She remembered me from that time and I remember she told me, she said, I hope you blow me out of the water and everyone forgets about me.” —Roxanne Perez, WWE Superstar
This connection illustrates how Perez carries the legacy of past icons while forging a new path on the main roster, reflecting the ongoing influence AJ Lee’s career has on current WWE storytelling and talent development.
Potential Shifts and Impact on the Women’s Tag Team Division
With SummerSlam approaching, the Women’s Tag Team Championship scene is poised for possible upheaval. If Liv Morgan returns and chooses to oppose Perez and Rodriguez, it could reshape alliances and rivalry dynamics within The Judgment Day and beyond. A face turn by Morgan could energize the division and draw significant attention to the title match.
The outcome of this storyline will likely influence the future direction of the women’s tag team division, with implications for character development and WWE’s broader narrative arcs. Fans will watch closely as these developments unfold, particularly given the emerging star power represented by Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
