Hold onto your seats, folks, because the wrestling world is about to witness history in the making! The NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez has been taking on all challengers since reclaiming her title, but now she’s gearing up for a groundbreaking clash. TNA’s powerhouse, Jordynne Grace, has thrown down the gauntlet, and the two will face off in WWE NXT’s first-ever cross-promotional title match at Battleground. But if you think Perez is intimidated, think again.
In a backstage interview posted on X, Perez didn’t mince words about her upcoming opponent. “Look, I’m not going to take anything away from Jordynne Grace. She’s a freak athlete, she was really impressive tonight, she’s the TNA Knockouts World Champion, but I am a two-time NXT Women’s Champion,” Perez said. While showing some respect for Grace’s abilities, Perez quickly turned up the heat with a stern warning.
“She thinks she’s gonna walk into my world, my brand, my ring and take my championship? Jordynne Grace is just like everybody else: she’s not on my level,” Perez declared. The NXT champ didn’t stop there. She reminded Grace and the fans that she’s no stranger to making history, having already headlined TNA at just 20 years old. “She wants to question who’s built the better solid foundation? I think she forgot that at 20 years old I main-evented TNA as a champion, so I think I got a pretty solid foundation.”
Perez left no doubt about her confidence going into Battleground. “This Sunday? At Battleground? Jordynne Grace is gonna get Roxxed. And all of you are gonna hear ‘And Still,’” she proclaimed. While Grace has yet to respond directly to Perez’s bold statements, she did share some words of support for Stevie Turner, whom she defeated last night, adding an interesting twist to the build-up.
So, wrestling fans, get ready for an epic showdown. Will Perez continue her reign, or will Grace make history by dethroning the NXT Women’s Champion? Tune in to Battleground to find out!
