Roxanne Perez is currently in her second reign as NXT Women's Champion. The 22-year-old captured the gold from Lyra Valkyria at NXT Stand & Deliver on April 6 during WrestleMania XL Weekend. The 16-minute match ended with Perez forcing Valkyria to tap out. She has continued her rise as a top heel for the developmental brand as the year rolls on.

The Prodigy just hit the 101-day mark of her second NXT Women's Championship reign. Perez took to Instagram to celebrate and tout the milestone, declaring that she will hold the gold forever. The next challenger is expected to be revealed on tonight's live episode.
