Speaking on Fox News’ Outkick, the former NXT Women’s Champion made a surprising reveal that AAA originally offered to train her and be on the shows. However, Perez was 13 when she got the offer, and The Prodigy’s parents weren’t ready to take a huge step when she had just started training.

“A little backstory: I have been training to become a WWE Superstar since I was 13 years old, and when I was 16, I actually had an invitation to come to AAA, train here, and be on the shows, and that was really something that I wanted to do. Obviously, I wanted to wrestle all around the world and make a big name for myself, but I was 16 years old. So, my parents weren’t fully in on that. So, I didn’t get to take that opportunity. Now, AAA is a part of WWE, and I’m taking my opportunity, and I’m not asking for permission from anybody. So, I’m so excited to be here and also to just represent my culture,” Perez said.

Luckily, it all worked out for Perez as the Stamford-based promotion bought AAA in 2025, and she got to compete under the brand.

What’s next for Roxanne Perez in WWE?

Last year, Roxanne Perez moved to the main roster under Triple H’s creative leadership and joined Monday Night RAW. In the coming months, Perez joined The Judgment Day and helped Raquel Rodriguez remain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion until SummerSlam 2025, when they lost the titles to Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

This year, The Prodigy hasn’t held championship gold, but it could soon change. At Triplemanía 34, Roxanne Perez defeated Faby Apache, La Hiedra, and Nattie in a Fatal 4-Way match, becoming the new number one contender for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.

Moreover, she will participate in the upcoming qualifier match for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez on the weekly product.
