Roxanne Perez Turns Heel, Attacks Lyra Valkyria – At NXT Roadblock 2024, Roxanne Perez took a decisive turn towards villainy as she unleashed a brutal assault on Lyra Valkyria following the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match.
After Asuka and Kairi Sane retained their titles against Valkyria and Tatum Paxley, Perez ambushed Valkyria from behind, ruthlessly targeting her arm and utilizing the exposed steel of the turnbuckle to inflict further damage.
The attack resulted in Valkyria being stretchered out of the arena, marking a stark departure from Perez’s previous demeanor. This heel turn comes after weeks of Perez expressing frustration over her inability to secure a one-on-one opportunity to reclaim the NXT Women’s Championship.
Perez had previously forfeited the title after collapsing from exhaustion during her defense against Meiko Satomura at NXT Roadblock 2023. Notably, she has yet to suffer a clean pinfall defeat in her quest to regain the championship, adding an extra layer of intensity to her newfound aggression.
