WWE provides important health update on Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez is the NXT Women's Champion

WWE NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez's health has caused major concern among fans after she collapsed following a match at the Roadblock event. Fortunately, the current state of the champion is no longer a cause for worry.

A recent update from WWE's Twitter account stated that Roxanne Perez was already discharged from the hospital. She is currently resting at home following her collapse last week.

"Update: Roxanne Perez has been discharged from the hospital and is now at home resting."

During the developmental brand's March 7, 2023 Roadblock event, the 21-year-old superstar defended her NXT Women's Championship against Meiko Satomura. After a hard-fought and exciting bout between the two, the champion retained the title. However, Perez's celebration was cut short after she collapsed inside the ring.

Satomura, WWE officials, medical personnel, Shawn Michaels, and even Booker T entered the ring to check on Perez. She was then stretchered out of the location and taken to a medical facility.

The Stamford-based promotion later provided an update stating Perez spent overnight in the hospital for further testing. Fortunately, it looks like Roxanne Perez's health isn't a cause for concern.

According to reports, the NXT Women's Champion didn't really suffer from an injury, and it was possibly a nod from a similar angle from HBK in the '90s. Both superstars received several blows to the head, perhaps leading to an "injury."


Multiple WWE Superstars reacted to Roxanne Perez's potential health scare

While it looks like the NXT star is now recovering, numerous superstars praised Perez after her title match performance and wished her well.

RAW Superstar Bayley replied to a tweet from NXT's account asking if she should fight Meiko after what the latter did to Perez. Meanwhile, the Japanese star also tweeted that her opponent had the heart of a champion and wished for her to get better.

WWE Hall of Famer and NXT creative head Shawn Michaels also had nothing but praise for Roxanne. He praised the champion and wished for her health to improve soon.

"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."

It remains to be seen when fans will watch the NXT Women's Champion in action following her match with Satomura.
