Roxanne Perez will have a chance at history on Saturday night when she takes part in a fatal four-way match for the NXT Womenโs Championship at Vengeance Day.
Fresh off a Royal Rumble where she rewrote the record books by being the longest-lasting competitor, Perez will compete against defending champion Giulia, Bayley and Cora Jade to become the first three-time NXT womenโs champion in the brandโs history. The only other two-time champions were Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler before they were called up to the main roster.

NXT general manager Ava Raine made the title match a fatal four-way after Jadeโs win over Bayley on the final show before Vengeance Day. Perez told Fox News Digital in a recent interview she was "upset" that Raine cut her chances of possibly making history but was "focused" on the ultimate goal.
Perez and Bayley have feuded in recent weeks, and it came to a head when the young womenโs superstar dressed up as one of Bayleyโs older gimmicks just to be a thorn in her side.
"Itโs so much fun," Perez said. "Did you see the look on her face when I came out as her little old โHuggerโ Bayley? I think I got to her. She may have got me after, but I think I definitely got to her. But itโs been very fun."
The 23-year-old said going up against Bayley was a dream that she had thought about since she was younger.
"I feel like I kind of manifested this since I was a kid. In the past few years, Iโve been saying I want to step in the ring with Bayley. Sheโs one of my dream opponents, dream matches," she said. "But now Iโm finally realizing I got to prove to her that โThe Prodigyโ is just a little better, itโs way, way better."

Perez won the NXT Womenโs Championship for the first time on Dec. 13, 2022, and held it for 108 days before she lost a six-way ladder match at NXT Stand & Deliver 2023. She regained the title at Stand & Deliver 2024 against Lyra Valkyria.
Giulia defeated Perez at New Yearโs Evil back in 2025 as the former Stardom and Marigold star made her impact felt on NXT.
Perez explained to Fox News Digital what having the NXT Womenโs Championship meant to her.
"Means everything to me," she said. "I think winning it the first time, I definitely solidified myself as one of the best wrestlers that WWE has. I solidified myself as โThe Prodigy.โ And it was the first title I won in WWE, my first singles title. Every single thing, every hurdle, every hard thing that I went through to get here, that proved to me that every single thing was worth it.
"I donโt think that thereโs one girl on that roster that loves that title more than me, that wants the title more than me. So, thatโs exactly why Iโm going to become a three-time NXT womenโs champion, and Iโm going to take the womenโs championship straight to RAW, straight to SmackDown, and maybe, if I decide to vacate it, somebody else will have a chance. But I donโt know. I think it belongs to me. Giuliaโs just holding it for now."
Here's how the rest of the card will shape up to be:
Vengeance Day will take place in Washington, D.C., starting at 6 p.m. ET.
