A top NXT star has explained their reaction to winning gold.
On the December 13 edition of WWE NXT, Roxanne Perez defeated Mandy Rose to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
This became the cherry on top of a banner year for the 21 year old who debuted for WWE in the spring.
Perez is the first Women’s Breakout Tournament winner, former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion and the first Iron Survivor winner.
Appearing on the latest After The Bell with Corey Graves, Roxanne Perez was asked about her reaction to defeating Rose for the NXT Women’s Championship. She answered:
“I’m sure as everybody saw, as soon as that bell rang, I just burst into tears and they were real tears.”
“I think all the trials and tribulations and everything that I went through since I was 13 years old to get to this moment started replaying in my head and I just thought that all of those moments, even the super bad moments, they were so worth it.”
As previously reported, Perez also gave her thoughts on former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose.
Rose was released from WWE following her loss of the title after private content website material that the company deemed went against her contract.
