Roxanne Perez continued to prove everybody who doubted her wrong, as she retained her NXT Women’s title against TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace. When The Prodigy was still angry at the fact that she still had to prove to the WWE Universe her worth, CM Punk met her and gave her some advice. However, she rejected his advice and called him a hypocrite. 

On the NXT Battleground PLE, Roxanne Perez met TNA’s Jordynne Grace in one of the most anticipated matches of the night. The match included some outside interference, as Tatum Paxley came out and showed her obsession with Grace’s TNA Knockouts title. However, the crowd was in for a surprise, as Ash By Elegance, formerly known as Dana Brooke, came out and tried to snatch the title off the hands of Paxley.

After The Big Mama Pump thwarted them both with her belt, it was all the time Perez needed. She retained the title by hitting Grace with the Pop Rox. However, she was angry at the WWE Universe for taking her win as a surprise. When The Prodigy called CM Punk a hypocrite, he was bamboozled and asked the interviewer if she was always like this.

The interaction between both was quite interesting, as they are so much closer in real life. Perez, along with Cora Jade, consider The Second City Saint their wrestling ‘dad’. Not only that, but the 22-year-old star has also shown love for her wrestling ‘mom’, AJ Lee. She considers her one of the inspirations for her to start wrestling.
