In an interview with WWE Digital, newly-crowned WWE NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez commented on defeating Mandy Rose during Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT to become the new Champion.

“About 2016, I have it right here on my wrist, is the year that I started wrestling, I was 14 years old, and that was the day that I just said I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that I get to the WWE, no matter what it takes, I’m going to get there.

My whole life revolved around wrestling up until now, every single thing I did was to be here and was for this Championship. I’m sure you saw, I just broke down into tears out there, everything was worth it, all the trials, the tribulations, the ups and the downs, every single thing was so worth it, this is proof to every little girl out there that no matter what you tell yourself, no matter what doubts there are in your mind, it can happen, you can become the WWE NXT Women’s Champion.”
