Recently, Roxanne Perez went through a storyline where she doubted herself and her anxiety got the best of her, only for her to return with a new fire.
Speaking with Alistair McGeorge of Metro in the UK, Perez discussed the recent storyline where she was portrayed to have issues with self confidence.
“It’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to bring mental health into wrestling somehow and never thought it was possible. It’s really cool to be able to change people’s lives. I feel like that’s the most important thing that I’ve always wanted to do. If I can be that voice that helps someone else know that they’re not alone, then that means the world to me.”
She continued, “Just talking about mental health, at least, that was something when I first got to NXT and told them I would love to do something with this. They were like, ‘Alright, we’ll see.’”
