Roxanne Perez claimed her first-ever main roster victory on WWE RAW, securing a crucial win in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. The rising star, described by commentator Michael Cole as having a "fairytale run," overcame The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez, though a timely ringside distraction played a decisive role.
During the match, Rodriguez’s strength proved to be a significant challenge for Perez, who was overpowered at several points. However, Perez displayed resilience, managing to counter her opponent’s offense with well-timed reversals. The momentum shifted when WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Bianca Belair and Naomi, arrived at ringside, confronting Liv Morgan over an attack on Jade Cargill. The distraction allowed Perez to capitalize at the perfect moment.
Seizing the opportunity, Perez executed her signature move, Pop Rox, on Rodriguez before pinning her for the three-count. This victory was crucial for Perez, who had suffered a loss in the Fatal Four-Way match at Vengeance Day 2025 over the weekend. Now, she has officially secured her spot in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match, where six women will compete inside a steel-structured chamber for a chance to earn a WrestleMania 41 title shot.
The match also added another layer to the ongoing feud between Belair, Naomi, Morgan, and Rodriguez. WWE officials, including Nick Aldis, had previously reviewed footage of the attack on SmackDown, which seemingly implicated Morgan and Rodriguez in the assault on Cargill. This confrontation could signal future conflicts within the women's division.
Perez’s win solidifies her growing presence on the main roster, setting her up for one of the biggest challenges of her career. With a shot at WrestleMania 41 on the line, she now faces an intense battle inside the unforgiving Elimination Chamber.
