On the latest episode of “WWE NXT,” Roxanne Perez highlighted her rapid rise in the wrestling industry at the young age of 22, drawing comparisons to past NXT stars like Bayley, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, and Charlotte Flair. However, while discussing Flair’s achievements, Perez inadvertently made an error in listing her accolades.
Perez’s acknowledgment of her accomplishments at such a young age underscores her confidence and ambition in WWE. Her comparison to iconic NXT alumni reflects her aspirations to leave a lasting legacy in the company. As Perez continues to carve her path in NXT, fans eagerly anticipate her future rivalries and championship pursuits, eager to witness how her career unfolds on the grand stage of professional wrestling.
Perez’s Mistake
Perez claimed:
“As of July 17, it will be 13 years since Flair had her first ever match in ‘NXT,’ and 13 years later she’s become a 14-time World Champion.”
Unfortunately for Perez, it has actually been 11 years since Flair debuted on the gold brand. This prompted “The Queen” to correct her on social media.
Flair’s Response
Flair tweeted:
“You almost had it right. It’s been 11. But thank you! I really do have the best fans. Keep doing your thing. We will meet in the ring one day — I’m sure of it. 💪🏻 #WWENXT 👑”

Flair’s Injury Update
Charlotte Flair has been out of action since December due to a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus suffered in a match against Asuka on “WWE Smackdown.” Initially expected to be sidelined for nine months, Flair revealed in February that she is “ahead of schedule” in her recovery process.
Perez’s Upcoming Match
Roxanne Perez’s next challenger for her NXT Women’s Championship was decided in a thrilling matchup last night. Thea Hail secured a future title opportunity at the upcoming Great American Bash television special, scheduled for July 30 and August 6. Hail earned her shot by defeating Izzi Dame in a hard-fought one-on-one contest that showcased her resilience and determination.
The victory propels Thea Hail into the spotlight, positioning her as a formidable contender for Perez’s coveted NXT Women’s Championship. Fans can expect an intense buildup as Hail prepares to face off against Perez, who has held the championship with dominance and skill. The Great American Bash promises to be a pivotal event in NXT’s calendar, as Hail looks to capitalize on her momentum and make a lasting impact in the women’s division.
The anticipation for Flair’s return to the ring continues to build, especially with the potential of a future match against Perez. For now, the focus remains on Perez’s upcoming title defense against Hail.
