Roxane Perez has been the NXT Womens Champion for a long time and she owes her great success to Shawn Michaels for good reason. Thats why its no surprise that she recreated Shawn Michaels iconic I Kicked Stan segment recently.
While Shawn Spears was in WWEs developmental system, he appeared as an extra in the memorable I just kicked Stan segment at WWE Cyber Sunday 2006, playing a production worker. In the segment, Shawn Michaels asked Spears what his name was before superkicking him and then Michaels told Triple H, I just kicked Stan.
As seen during theNovember 6th edition of NXT, Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, and Zaria squared off against Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Jazmyn Nyx in tag team action. Zaria would ultimately pin Perez to win the match, much to Perezs shock.
WWE took to their official Twitter account and uploaded a video of Roxanne Perez following her loss. Perez was hysterical and suddenly, she spotted Robert Stone. After asking him her name, she ended up superkicking him before telling Cora Jade, I just kicked Stone!, in a wonderful callback to Shawn Michaels moment.
We will have to wait and see how WWE will book Roxanne Perez and Zarias feud in the coming weeks, but fans are always appreciative of the fact that WWE does callbacks like this from time to time and its not hard to see why.
