Top star warns Roxanne Perez after WWE NXT Deadline
The second WWE NXT Women's Championship reign of Roxanne Perez recently passed the eight-month mark. The heel superstar has been a fighting champion and has retained over several top talents in recent months. Now a major name is looking to get revenge on Perez following Saturday's Deadline Premium Live Event.
The Prodigy did not compete at the third annual NXT Deadline on Saturday, but her next challenger was confirmed. The PLE was headlined by the 25-minute Women's Iron Survivor Challenge. Giulia won the match with two points, defeating Stephanie Vaquer, Sol Ruca, Zaria, and Wren Sinclair, who all had one point each. The 30-year-old was then named the new number-one contender for the Women's Championship.
The Gladiator Of Glorias received a major reaction from the WWE Universe on her way out of Deadline last night. Cameras then caught up with Giulia as she returned backstage at The Minneapolis Armory. The 30-year-old grappler issued an eight-word warning to Perez and ended her message with a wink.
"You are not done with me yet, Roxanne," Giulia said.
You can check out her message in the video below:
