After suffering a scary fall in the ring after her recent title defense, WWE management now has legitimate concerns over the NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez's health.

After defeating Meiko Satomura on NXT Roadblock to retain her title, the 21-year-old collapsed to the floor, leading to medical personnel and company higher-ups rushing to her aid.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that despite Perez's fall being a work, there are legitimate concerns for the young superstar.

"The reason it’s so vague is because the actual situation really is so vague, they actually don’t know what exactly is going on. What I was told was it’s a vague situation in the sense that, hopefully, there’s nothing wrong, but there might be." Meltzer added, "She didn’t faint after the match. That was a cover story for the fact that something may or may not be going on, and they don’t know exactly, so therefore they did the Shawn Michaels angle." H/T (WrestleTalk)

Having made her WWE debut in March last year, Roxanne Perez has already established herself as one of the stars of the future, winning both the NXT Women's Tag and singles championships.

What are WWE's plans for the NXT Women's title?

Whilst Perez has not been stripped of the belt, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has chosen to move forward without Roxanne if she cannot fulfill her obligations as champion.

Earlier this week, HBK took to social media, where he announced that a ladder match for the NXT Women's Championship will take place on April 1st at the Stand And Deliver Premium Live Event.

So far, just two women have qualified for the high-stakes ladder match, with the athletic Zoey Stark earning her spot as well as the fan-favorite star, Gigi Dolin.
