The latest episode of NXT saw Roxanne Perez claim that she was the only one who had properly cared about NXT since her first day. Rather than representing future greatness, she was great in the present. Thus, she found it extremely disrespectful about the way she had to find out about her next challenger. This led to NXT General Ava Raine making her entrance and introducing TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace as the #1 contender.

Ava Raine then took to X and asked the NXT Women’s Champion if she liked her surprise. Perez replied to her, saying that while the NXT General Manager was trying for her downfall, it simply wasn’t going to happen. The Rock‘s daughter replied back, accusing her of dodging the question.
