Roxanne Perez Health: Roxanne Perez health scare: Which WWE legends were present on the night of her collapse?

Roxanne Perez's health has become a talk of concern after WWE NXT's Roadblock event last Tuesday. Both fans and industry veterans have since extended their support to the young superstar.

The 21-year-old had a hard-fought battle against Meiko Satomura at the developmental brand's Roadblock event on March 7, 2023. She retained the NXT Women's Champion and celebrated inside the ring with her opponent, but it was short-lived.

The champion shockingly collapsed in the ring, prompting Meiko, the company's officials, and medical personnel to check on the superstar's health. WWE legends Shawn Michaels and Booker T also came to the aid of Roxanne Perez following her collapse.

Michaels is the creative head of NXT, while Booker T is not only a commentator of the brand but also Roxanne's mentor. This explains why both legends were present for the champion. HBK even shared some words of encouragement for the young superstar after she was sent to a medical facility.

"What happened last night showed that @roxanne_wwe is a fighting champion. She left it all in the ring. I want to wish Roxanne a speedy recovery after a great title defense," Shawn Michaels tweeted.

Fortunately, it looks like Roxanne Perez's health should not be a cause for concern for fans. As previously reported, the injury might not even be real and was just a nod to a similar angle featuring Michaels in the '90s.

Although the injury to the NXT Women's Champion may not be real, the Stamford-based promotion has provided regular updates regarding her condition. It was initially stated that Perez stayed overnight at the hospital for observation. A recent update suggested that she was sent home and is currently resting. From the looks of it, the update may have been meant for Roxanne's fellow stars.

In a tweet, Perez's Roadblock opponent Meiko Satomura praised the champion's determination. The Japanese wrestler later wished nothing but the best for the youngster.

"Her fighting spirit is worthy of a champion. I hope that she'll get well soon. #WWENXT"

RAW Superstar and Damage CTRL member Bayley also had an interesting response to Roxanne Perez's health. The Role Model replied to a tweet from the NXT account asking if she needed to fight Meiko after what the latter did to Perez.

It remains to be seen what is next for Roxanne Perez, especially with the Stand and Deliver event just weeks away.
