Medical Procedure and Recovery
Roxanne Perez, a prominent member of WWE's Judgment Day faction, recently shared an update regarding her health following a noticeable absence from WWE programming. In a TikTok video, Perez revealed that she underwent surgery to remove a benign mass from her back, which had been causing her significant discomfort for several months. “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,” she stated. Despite her desire to remain active, Perez emphasized the importance of prioritizing her health, saying, “I didn’t want to have time off.”
The mass was located deep within her muscle tissue, complicating her recovery process. Perez described the initial days post-surgery as physically demanding, requiring assistance with basic movements. However, she expressed optimism about her recovery, noting, “My recovery is going well. I don’t have too much pain anymore. It kind of comes and goes. I’m going to be back in the ring in no time.”
Impact on WWE Programming
Since her last official match during the Women's Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, Perez has been absent from WWE television, while her Judgment Day teammates—Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Finn Balor, and Dominik Mysterio—have continued to feature prominently on "Raw." Her absence has raised concerns among fans, particularly as the faction navigates its own challenges, including injuries to other members.
As Perez recovers, the Judgment Day will need to maintain its momentum without one of its key members. Liv Morgan is preparing for a main event at WrestleMania, further highlighting the urgency for Perez's return.
Future Plans and Engagement with Fans
To stay connected with her fanbase during her recovery, Perez plans to increase her activity on TikTok, sharing insights into her daily life and recovery process. She expressed her longing to return to the ring, stating, “It’s been a dream of mine to become a WWE Superstar since I was 10 years old.”
While there is speculation about her potential return timeline, it appears she may be sidelined until after the upcoming Elimination Chamber event. However, if her recovery progresses as expected, she could play a role in the WrestleMania storyline.
Official Statements & Responses
In her updates, Perez has consistently reassured fans about her health and recovery. She has emphasized the importance of health over competition, stating, “But our health is very important, so we need to put that first.”
