A former champion recently wrestled her first match in nine months on a WWE show in Texas. The name in question is former NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez.

Perez returned to her hometown, Texas, to team up with Raquel Rodriguez in a tag team match against Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. She had previously wrestled in her hometown during the NXT Great American Bash on July 30, 2023.

However, this marked Roxanne's first main roster match in Texas in over nine months since her participation in the Women's Royal Rumble match on January 28, 2023, which was her first-ever main roster bout in her hometown. This was also Raquel's first match in her hometown since May 1, 2023.

Both stars put on a great show and clinched the win over Dawn and Fyre. WWE took to their social media to post a snippet from the match where Raquel Rodriguez can be seen picking up Roxanne Perez on her shoulders.

I’m grateful so many of you came out to support me and continue to. I’m blessed to be able to do what I do and I thank my God for allowing me to be in this position. I love yall, mi gente, mi raza, MI FAMILIA," Rodriguez wrote.
