WWE NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez may have a potential showdown with former WWE Divas Champion Mickie James. Perez is gearing up for her WWE NXT Women’s Championship rematch this weekend at WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2025.
As she prepares for the high-stakes match, she may have gotten the attention of the former Divas Champion. Earlier this year, Perez lost the WWE NXT Women’s Championship to Giulia at WWE NXT New Year’s Evil. Determined to reclaim her title, she also made a major impact at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 last week. Entering the Women’s Royal Rumble at No. 3, Perez lasted until the final two.
She battled Charlotte Flair in the closing moments but ultimately fell short as Flair eliminated her to win. While Perez impressed at the Royal Rumble, her upcoming rematch for the NXT Women’s Championship presents another major challenge.
Perez will face Giulia, Bayley, and Cora Jade in a high-stakes fatal-four-way title match. Ahead of her match, Perez revealed the wrestling legends she dreams of facing at WrestleMania. Speaking on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Perez named Trish Stratus, Lita, Chyna, AJ Lee, and Mickie James as her top five choices.
Roxanne Perez also pointed to Trish Stratus and Mickie James as likely opponents. Following these comments, Mickie James isn’t ruling out the possibility either. She has teased a potential clash with Perez, fueling speculation about a massive showdown.
Mickie James teases huge match after Roxanne Perez’s bold statement
Former WWE Divas Champion Mickie James reacted to Roxanne Perez naming her as a dream opponent for WrestleMania. She took to X, formerly Twitter, to acknowledge Perez’s statement and hinted at the possibility of stepping back into the ring.
The last time Mickie James appeared in WWE was at the 2022 Royal Rumble, where she entered the match while holding the TNA Impact Knockouts World Championship. With her husband, Nick Aldis, currently serving as the SmackDown General Manager. It will be interesting to see if James will return to WWE and turn this dream match into reality.
