In an interview with Fox News, Roxanne Perez revealed that she had no prior knowledge of Ricky Starks’ appearance on WWE NXT. She discovered it while watching the segment alongside everyone else.
She stated: “It was awesome. I have known Ricky Starks since I was literally 15 years old. He came up in Texas just like I did, so we definitely ran into each other a lot. I didn’t even know he was going to be there. I didn’t even see him walk out into the crowd. I saw it on the TV screen with everybody else, and that made me so happy because he’s awesome. He’s such a great person, and I think he deserves everything.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
