Women’s Tag Team title match part of next WWE Raw lineup

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A Women’s Tag Team title match is part of the next WWE Raw lineup.

Greensborough, North Carolina next week will see a Women’s Tag Team title match where champions Paige and Brie Bella will take on Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez of the Judgement Day. Meanwhile, the Oba Femi Open Challenge will continue as long as there is someone, anyone, is willing to take on the man that defeated Brock Lesnar in quick fashion at WrestleMania 42.

Paige & Bella were confronted on Monday by their future challengers. Perez said she loved watching Paige and Bella back when they were young and relevant, and asked Bella if she remembered meeting her when she was a kid. Perez said that Bella told her that she could carry on the Bella legacy, but accused Bella of setting the bar too low.

After asking the duo to hand over the titles before another one of Paige’s scandals breaks, the champions attacked their challengers but Liv Morgan arrived to stack the odds against them.

Oba Femi came out on Raw for his open challenge, only for Adam Pearce to arrive and announce the challenge had been cancelled because no one wanted to face Femi. The irate ruler then headed backstage to find competition himself, running into Berto and Angel who earlier in the night were looking for an opportunity from Pearce. Femi dragged both to the ring and easily destroyed the two, picking up the win in an impromtu 2-on-1 handicap match.

Air conditioning issues at WWE Raw caused comfort issues for fans

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Many fans in attendance at this past Monday’s WWE Raw at the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, complained about the excessive heat in the arena due to issues with air conditioning.

KGNS News reported that District 5 council member Ruben Gutierrez, a representative from the area, revealed that the arena lost power around 2 pm local time prior to the event. It was restored a few hours later but with preparations during the course of the day, cool air leaked out, leaving fans stuck in a stuffy arena.

The inability for the air conditioning to catch up, in addition to the pyrotechnics in the arena, made it an uncomfortable experience for the nearly 8,000 fans in attendance. 

“By 4 p.m., of course, WWE is setting up stuff there, fire going on inside there, fireworks going on to make sure stuff is working, heating up the place. Once the doors opened up at 5:30, the doors are open again, letting over 8,000 people in there. The AC is just going out, going out, going out, and the AC just could not recoup fast enough with 8,000 people in there, pyrotechnics going on inside the arena,” stated Gutierrez. 

The Laredo Fire Department confirmed they received no calls from the arena and reported no illnesses or injuries related to the heat.

Roxanne Perez provides update after WWE Raw injury

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Roxanne Perez has shared an update on her condition after the incident on WWE Raw. 

She took to Instagram Stories and posted a photo of herself with an ice pack on her head, captioned ‘alive & well yall’.

The injury occurred during Stephanie Vaquer’s ambush on Liv Morgan on Raw. The two Judgment Day members were discussing the group’s dissociation with Finn Balor and Perez’s WWE return the previous week when it happened. Vaquer suddenly shoved Morgan from the back causing her collide head-to-head with Perez. Her ambush concluded by smashing Morgan’s head into a TV. 

Following Raw, Morgan shared the head bump on social media which resulted from the attack. Vaquer responded with an image of a doll’s head being crushed. Morgan instantly retaliated with ‘Hahahha u wish. Ur gonna have to kill me’ before adding an updated image of her head injury showing the swelling had gone done but leaving behind a bruise. 

Perez has been out of in-ring action since the Royal Rumble after undergoing surgery to remove a benign growth from her back. She returned to Raw last week and assisted Morgan in her physical altercation on Vaquer. 

Perez was added to The Judgment Day in May 2025 by Finn Balor. She was introduced as an ally before eventually proving her worth to the group. And even stepping in as Morgan’s replacement during her shoulder injury while she and Raquel Rodriguez were the Women’s Tag Team Champions. 

Morgan will face Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship on Night One at WrestleMania 42. 

Liv Morgan shows off nasty head bump following WWE Raw attack

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Liv Morgan showed off the nasty bump on her head in the aftermath of Stephanie Vaquer’s attack on WWE Raw.

Morgan shared images of her head injury on Instagram alongside her Judgment Day teammates – Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh and Raquel Rodriguez.

During Raw, Morgan was backstage with Roxanne Perez discussing Finn Balor’s exit and relationship with The Judgment Day. She noted how he was responsible for bringing her into the group, and appreciated her helping hand in attacking Vaquer last week. Before Perez could respond, Vaquer launched into Morgan from behind that sent her crashing into Perez as they bumped heads. She continued the attack and sent Morgan flying head-first into the TV nearby. 

Following the events on Raw, Morgan and Perez were reportedly in concussion protocol. 

On the March 30 edition of Raw, Perez made her return after a couple of months away due to a surgery to remove a benign mass from her back. That night Morgan made personal remarks targeting Vaquer’s mother, prompting the champion to rush out and attack her. Perez then joined Morgan in the beatdown. 

Ever since Morgan decided to pursue the Women’s World Championship, an intense back-and-forth erupted. The rivalry has seen repeated ambushes and personal attacks on almost every edition of Raw that followed. Morgan continues to question Vaquer’s credibility as a wrestler claiming she has yet to match her accomplishments in WWE.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Both Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez could be hurt following Raw.

During Raw, Morgan’s WrestleMania opponent Stephanie Vaquer walked in and attacked her, pushing Morgan into Perez. The two clonked heads as they fell to the floor, with Morgan being grabbed and thrown into a nearby TV set. Bryan Alvarez is now reporting that both are being evaluated for a possible concussion.

“Both Liv and Roxanne in concussion protocol after they clonked skulls HARD when Stephanie jumped Liv from behind. Hopefully we didn’t just witness a disaster affecting WrestleMania,” Alvarez wrote.

Morgan and Perez were talking about Perez’s return last week from injury. Morgan brought up that it was now former stablemate Finn Balor that brought her in. Before anything else could be said, Vaquer came in for the attack.

Perez had been out of action recently after having a benign growth removed and only returned on last week’s show, helping Morgan attack Vaquer, leading to Monday’s angle.

A possible injury to Morgan would put her match with Vaquer, the Women’s World Champion, in danger. Morgan won this year’s Royal Rumble and picked Vaquer, attacking her in the process.

Roxanne Perez returns on WWE Monday Night Raw

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

For the first time since the Royal Rumble, Roxanne Perez made her presence known on WWE television. She returned on Monday Night Raw to help Liv Morgan battle Stephanie Vaquer.

Morgan, who won that Rumble match, was in the ring cutting a promo against her WrestleMania opponent Vaquer. She was insulted and threatened the Women’s World Champion, degrading her family in her own native tongue. Vaquer came out to assault Morgan and had the upper hand, but Perez came through the crowd to attack her from behind. Together Morgan and Perez laid Vaquer out, and Morgan finished her with an oblivion onto a steel chair.

Perez revealed in February that she had undergone surgery to remove a benign mass from her back.

“I recently underwent surgery to remove a benign mass that was in my back, that was causing me a lot of pain for a couple of months,” she said at the time.

On Raw, the announcers simply said Perez had been out with injuries, with no further explanation.

Report: WWE wrestler expected back this week

Posted on by Ian Carey

Roxanne Perez is reportedly set to return to WWE this week.

On Sunday, PWInsider reported that Perez is expected to return to WWE storylines on Monday’s edition of WWE Raw, which will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The 24-year-old has not wrestled since the Women’s Royal Rumble match on January 31. She revealed on social media last month that she had undergone surgery to have a benign mass removed from her back, saying:

“I’ve been out for about a week now. I recently underwent a surgery to remove a benign mass that was in my back that was causing me a lot of pain for a couple of months. I didn’t want to have time off. My recovery is going well. I don’t have too much pain anymore. It kind of comes and goes.”

Perez’s last appearance on WWE programming took place on the February 2 edition of Raw, where she was put through a table by Stephanie Vaquer.

Roxanne Perez has finally shared an update on her absence and revealed undergoing surgery.

Missing from the televised program and last wrestled at the 2026 Royal Rumble, concerns had begun growing on the internet for Perez. In a recent video on social media, the former women’s tag team champion appeared and addressed her current health. She revealed recently undergoing surgery to remove a benign mass from her back.

“I’ve been out for about a week now. I recently underwent a surgery to remove a benign mass that was in my back, that was causing me a lot of pain for a couple of months. I didn’t want to have time off. My recovery is going well. I don’t have too much pain anymore. It kind of comes and goes.”

Sharing a more positive update on her potential return timeline, Perez said, “I’m going to be back in the ring in no time.“

Following her participation in the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Perez also appeared on the February 2nd, 2026 episode of Raw, where she went through a table.

Another Judgment Day member, JD McDonagh, also underwent surgery a couple of months ago. Following an absence of nearly two months, McDonagh recently returned on the February 16th episode of Raw.

Report: Roxanne Perez receiving praise within WWE

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Roxanne Perez’s work ethic has reportedly earned her some internal praise within WWE over the past several weeks.

PWInsider reports that those in WWE have praised Perez for how she’s worked around being banged up, competing during the company’s European tour and the weeks preceding it. The report describes Perez as “gutting through” a culmination of things rather than it being any kind of concerning injury.

At Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal this weekend, Perez and her Judgment Day partner Liv Morgan are challenging Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. They earned the title shot by defeating Asuka & Kairi Sane and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria in a triple threat match on the January 12 episode of Raw in Germany.

Perez, who has also been wrestling on house shows during the European tour, took part in an angle on Raw this week where Judgment Day laid out Ripley & SKY ahead of their upcoming tag title match

Judgment Day members Perez, Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez are among the first set of names that have been confirmed for the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match. Eight entrants have been announced so far, with Ripley, SKY, Asuka, Bayley, and Valkyria also included. The PLE is being held in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, January 31 and will determine a WrestleMania 42 challenger for either the Women’s World Championship or WWE Women’s Championship.

Title match announced for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez are getting a Women’s Tag Team title shot at WWE’s next Saturday Night’s Main Event special.

The January 24 edition of SNME will see Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY defend their newly won belts against Judgment Day’s Morgan & Perez. That was made official on Raw today with Morgan & Perez winning a triple threat match to become the new number one contenders.

The Kabuki Warriors and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria were the two other teams in the number one contender’s match. Asuka & Kairi Sane were looking to get another shot at the belts after dropping them to Ripley & SKY last week, but Morgan ended up pinning Sane for the victory. Sane did not notice that Morgan had tagged in — and Morgan capitalized on that by hitting Oblivion while Sane was focused on Perez.

Montreal’s Bell Centre is hosting the January 24 SNME special just one week before the Royal Rumble takes place in Saudi Arabia. Airing live on Peacock, this is the first SNME since John Cena retired on the show in December.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event (January 24) —

  • Fatal four-way number one contender’s match for WWE Championship shot at Royal Rumble (competitors to be determined by qualifying matches)
  • Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY defend against Judgment Day (Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez)

Roxanne Perez recreates picture with childhood idol AJ Lee

Posted on by Joseph Currier

At WWE Raw last night, Roxanne Perez got to share a locker room with her childhood idol.

Following her return on SmackDown, AJ Lee appeared on Raw in Milwaukee, where it was confirmed that she’ll be teaming with her husband CM Punk in a mixed tag match against Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza.

Lee also shared a special moment with Perez backstage at the show, with the two recreating a now-famous photo where a young Perez became emotional while meeting Lee.

The two have become friends over the years, and Lee refers to Perez as one of her “wrestling daughters.” Perez has long expressed hope that a dream match between them could happen at some point. That now looks to be a realistic possibility with Lee stepping back in the ring.

“Oh I’m so good,” Perez tweeted while sharing photos with Lee from last night.

Wrestlepalooza will be Lee’s first time competing since announcing her retirement in 2015. She has officially signed a new WWE contract and was on Raw last night for a confrontation with Lynch. In addition to the mixed tag match, it looks like WWE is building up a future Women’s Intercontinental Championship bout with Lynch defending against Lee.

Perez, a member of Judgment Day, is a heel on the Raw roster.

“Definitely, yeah. I try,” Perez said in 2024 about trying to get Lee to return. “But [Punk] tells me that he’s doing the same thing. He’s trying to get her to, like, come back, pulling her in. But I hope one day she decides to come back and have a match with me.”

Saraya, Bayley, Roxanne Perez and more react to AJ Lee’s WWE return

Posted on by Ian Carey

Several wrestling personalities have reacted to AJ Lee’s return to WWE after more than a decade away.

Lee’s return took place in the final segment of WWE SmackDown on Friday night in Chicago. She came out to confront Becky Lynch, who has been antagonizing Lee’s husband CM Punk over the last week.

Saraya wrote: F–k, my heart is so full watching  @TheAJMendez come back. Love you sister. Go show ‘em why you’re the best in the world

Naomi wrote: “Caffeine perks you up… but me, I’m some natural dynamite baby.” @TheAJMendez welcome back my lil Dynamite give em hell #smackdown

Bayley wrote: LIGHT IT TF UP

Elayna Black (formerly known as Cora Jade) wrote: All is right in the world

Roxanne Perez wrote: MOMMYS HOME

The official MLB account on X wrote: “Let’s light it up, light it up, light it up Light up tonight, let’s light it up AJ Lee and CM Punk throwback at Wrigley Field”

Cathy Kelley wrote: “The reason i started watching wrestling is back in wrestling”

As first reported by Bryan Alvarez, the plan is for Lee to team with Punk against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins in a mixed tag at WWE Wrestlepalooza on September 20, the first PLE to air on ESPN. It will be Lee’s first match in over a decade. Her last WWE match was the Raw after WrestleMania 31 in 2015, when she teamed with Naomi and Paige (Saraya) in a win over Natalya and The Bella Twins.
