WWE's Roxanne Perez Retains NXT Women's Title, Giulia Debuts at No Mercy

As a long-time WWE fan who’s seen my fair share of matches, I must say that tonight’s Roxanne Perez vs. Jaida Parker bout at NXT No Mercy was nothing short of electrifying! The tension between these two powerhouses was palpable from the get-go, and every move they made felt like it could be the game-changer.


Roxanne Perez’s time has arrived in the NXT scene, and during the NXT No Mercy event, she aimed to further strengthen her NXT Women’s Championship title. To achieve this goal, she had to face off against one of NXT’s rising stars, Jaida Parker, who left a lasting mark with a powerful slap that echoed worldwide. In the ring, Parker showed resilience and more, enduring an onslaught from the Champion as Perez focused her attacks on Parker’s injured ribs throughout the bout. With three Pop Rocks, Perez finally managed to subdue Parker, but her victory was short-lived, as Giulia made her highly anticipated debut in WWE.

Up To The Challenge

In this exchange, Parker and Perez engaged in a series of defensive maneuvers and retaliatory attacks. Perez displayed some flair before landing a knee strike to Parker’s abdomen. Parker responded to Perez’s provocation with a slap, followed by pushing Perez down thrice consecutively as retribution. Later, Parker managed to grab Perez and position her close to the turnbuckle, delivering a powerful chop. However, Perez skillfully avoided the remaining part of the move.

As Perez steered clear, she found herself subjected to a shoulder tackle followed by a duplex, yet Perez deliberately targeted Parker’s injured ribs. Undeterred by the agony, Parker managed to seize Perez after a leap and guide her up the stairs. However, Perez slipped away and subsequently tripped Parker’s leg, causing her to tumble onto the steel steps.

In the heat of the match, Perez caught me squarely on my ribs before shoving me forcefully against the stairs yet again. She followed up by digging her foot into my back, pinning me against the stairs and then delivering a brutal kick that sent me crashing painfully into the stairs themselves. I managed to make it back to the ring just in time for the count, but I was hurting – and Perez didn’t hesitate to exploit my vulnerability by stomping mercilessly on my ribs twice in swift succession.

In a turn of events, Perez executed a double stomp on Parker’s ribs, followed by an attempt at the over, but Parker managed to kick out. After a brief show of mockery, Perez struck Parker’s wounded ribs once more, yet Parker retaliated with some powerful blows and a cover, resulting in Perez again kicking out. Subsequently, Perez landed a dropkick and forcefully slammed Parker into the ring post, worsening the injury to her ribs. Despite this, Perez attempted another cover, but once more, Parker managed to kick out.

Perez used a grip that expanded his opponent’s ribcage and repeatedly struck it to inflict more pain. In response, Parker retaliated with a powerful blow, but Perez countered with an uppercut followed by another strike to the ribs. Then, Perez executed his own move, throwing Parker down onto the mat, and added a final humiliating step on top of her.

Perez received a kick, was hoisted for a power bomb, but managed to kick out. Later, Parker gained momentum and delivered several shoulder tackles to the Champion, followed by an attempt to slam Perez down, again resulting in a kick-out. Parker subsequently caught Perez and hurled her into the turnbuckle. Then came five consecutive chops from Parker, culminating in a high move – the epic teardrop.

In the wrestling match, Parker attempted to lift Perez, yet it appeared as though Perez’s ribs collapsed, allowing her to capitalize. However, Parker retaliated with a counter move into a reverse throw. Then, Parker made another attempt but was met by Perez’s counter, leading to Parker being slammed down into a crossfire position. Next, Perez pressed her elbows against Parker’s ribs and secured a submission hold, but Parker managed to rise and executed a fallaway slam.

A Long Awaited Debut

In a swift exchange, Parker attempted a maneuver but ended up landing on the mat. Meanwhile, Perez aimed for a move called Pop Rocks, but Parker skillfully avoided it. Subsequently, Parker collided with the ropes and knocked Perez off balance to the floor. As the action intensified, Parker charged towards Perez, who deftly dodged, causing Parker to crash through a barricade instead. In response, Perez executed Pop Rocks on the barricade. Both competitors struggled to reach the ring before the countdown ended. With one final Pop Rocks, Perez clinched victory and retained her Championship.

During her celebration, a new tune played and fog rolled in at the entrance. Out stepped none other than the renowned Stardom star and current NXT superstar, Giulia, causing the crowd to go wild. Giulia made her way to the ring where she confronted Perez, hinting at an imminent spectacular encounter.
