WWE brought another episode of NXT for their January 14 episode. This included many reasons for fans to tune into the CW, and Roxanne Perez didnt miss the show.
Roxanne Perez is a former NXT Womens Champion, but she is no longer holding the title. Giulia is now the NXT Womens Champion after pulling down the title during the brands New Years Evil special.
This segment was the final of the night. Just as Roxanne Perez was shown backstage walking to the ring, a mysterious person arrived in the parking lot. The Prodigy took the ring, and she was ready to address the NXT Universe.
She discussed winning the NXT Womens Title for 276 days, with 9 title defenses. The NXT Womens Division continued to rise during that time, and she received some cheers from the crowd for making womens wrestling special. She helped make the NXT Womens Division something that they can be proud of.
As Perez declared that this is the best womens division in pro wrestling today, she admitted that she no longer has her title. She said that the NXT Womens Division will be lost without her, and the fans dont deserve her.
Suddenly, Roxanne Perezs promo was interrupted by Bayley. This was a big surprise that brought a giant pop from fans in the NXT Arena. After some welcome back chants from fans, Bayley admitted that she had to come out to address the crossroads in Roxanne Perezs career.
Bayley told Perez that the NXT Womens Division will be fine without her. Perez told Bayley that shes just like everyone that she used to look up to, and she questioned why Bayley was even there, because Bayley set the records that she broke. Then, Perez said she could be Bayleys role model.
Suddenly, as Bayley announced that she is going to win the WWE Womens Tile on SmackDown against Tiffany Stratton, the show cut off. This is not the first time that NXT has cut off early since landing on The CW, as theyve had a lot of problems with the networks time constraints, since they cut to local news at 10 PM EST every week night.
What a lot of fans didnt see was Roxanne Perez slapping Bayley, which caused the former Hugger to take Perez down to start a brawl. That is how the show cut off for some fans, but a majority of them did not see the ending live.
