Top WWE Star cleared to return after recent absence - Reports
It has been reported that top WWE Superstar and current NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez has been cleared to step back into the ring.
After recently defending her title 2 weeks ago at NXT Roadblock against Meiko Satamura, the 21-year-old collapsed in the middle of the ring, leading to her being carried out of the ring via a stretcher.
Although her collapse was part of a WWE storyline, company officials were still legitimately worried about her physical well-being. However, Dave Meltzer recently reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Roxanne Perez has now been cleared to return to action:
"So she is okay, cleared, and will be worked back into storylines as soon as I mean probably starting on (tonight’s) show. Somehow they’re gonna get her back in the mix. Whatever the issue was, they got a good thing, a good report. It’s not an injury, but it’s just a situation that could have kept her out and that’s why they did the thing as kind of like a backup thing, and everything’s cool. From what I was told today, they’re gonna start working her back in." H/T (Wrestling News)
Debuting for the company in March last year, Roxanne Perez established herself as one of the brightest young stars in WWE.
