WWE increases security for Roxanne Perez after stalking threats were made against her, following several recent incidents leading up to her appearance at the Money in the Bank event in Los Angeles. The wrestling organization responded after Perez, a RAW Superstar, endured doxxing and online threats from a stalker earlier this month.
Company Responds to Threats With Heightened Protection
Officials at WWE have closely monitored the ongoing situation concerning Roxanne Perez over the last several weeks. This weekend, after taking part in her very first Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Perez encountered further public attention just hours later during scheduled appearances in Los Angeles for associated Money in the Bank gatherings and related events. Security was a particular concern for Perez during her scheduled signing, given the seriousness of the online threats and doxxing she has faced.
Money in the Bank Superstore Appearance and Measures Taken
WWE had opened a temporary Superstore for Money in the Bank fans last Thursday at The Gallery Tower in Santa Monica, California, wrapping up the event earlier today. Over the course of several days, twelve wrestling superstars, including Dragon Lee, Zelina Vega, Aleister Black, Cruz Del Toro, Alexa Bliss, Stephanie Vaquer, and Perez, made appearances to meet fans and take part in photo opportunities. Stephanie Vaquer drew special attention for being the only sell-out at the pop-up, while Perez’s appearance drew additional security due to the ongoing threats against her.
At approximately 12:30pm ET today, Roxanne Perez participated in her only Superstore signing for the Money in the Bank event, giving attendees a chance for a digital photo at a cost of $69.44. According to Fightful Select, WWE officials deployed increased security at this public event in response to concerns over the 23-year-old’s safety, in light of the recent stalking.
Discussion Grows Over Safety of Superstars
The situation has generated debate behind the scenes and among fans about the general well-being of professional wrestlers, especially as more performers reveal the darker side of online interactions. Reports indicate that WWE leaders have prioritized Perez’s security and are demonstrating a strong, no-nonsense approach in confronting online abuse and threats made toward their superstars.

Perez’s Recent Matches and What’s Next
Roxanne Perez recently made her Money in the Bank Ladder Match debut during the event in California, contending for the briefcase in a bout ultimately won by Naomi. On the Friday before the pay-per-view, she competed on the go-home episode of SmackDown, teaming with Naomi and Giulia against Stephanie Vaquer, Rhea Ripley, and Alexa Bliss, with their team coming up short. As the situation unfolds, focus remains on how WWE will continue to protect Perez and other superstars from similar threats in the future, highlighting broader concerns about performers’ safety and privacy within the wrestling industry.
