Roxanne Perez is grateful for her time in Ring Of Honor.
Before arriving to WWE in 2022, Roxanne Perez, the former Rok-C, had a nice run in Ring Of Honor as a part of the promotion's revived women's division.
At the Death Before Dishonor event in 2021, Perez made history and won the ROH Women's World Championship, making her the youngest women's champion in promotion history. The reign came to an end in early 2022, with Deonna Purrazzo beating her for the belt.
While speaking to the No Contest Wrestling Podcast for a new interview, Perez reflected on her time with the promotion.
“I learned so so much. I’m very thankful for the time that I had there because I’m not too sure I would’ve been as ready as I was stepping into the WWE if it wasn’t for my time in Ring Of Honor. Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise, they were the two people that were in charge of the women’s division and they were just awesome, especially Maria Kanellis, she’s another person that as soon as she saw me, as soon as she saw my work in the ring, she was like, that’s the girl, that’s the one. I definitely know that WWE noticed me because of me becoming the inaugural women’s champion. So yeah, I owe a lot of that to Maria and Bobby and that’s a really good time in my career.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Perez reflected on sharing a Royal Rumble spot with Nikki Bella earlier this year. Check out her full comments here.
