Last night's edition of Monday Night Raw was a big one for Roxanne Perez.

The former NXT Champion officially signed her contract in a segment with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce to at long last confirm her status as a red brand Superstar, having featured prominently on the show since WrestleMania and on and off on the main roster for the bulk of 2025.

Elsewhere, weeks of backstage conversations with Finn Bálor were brought to the foreground as the Judgment Day man attempted in vain to welcome her into the group. Perez presented 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio with a tray of chicken nuggets (as a suitable replacement for his beloved "tendies", there were worse gestures) and Carlito with a bag of apples, and though neither gift went down well with Liv Morgan's closest ally Racquel Rodriguez. The storyline has continued Bálor's obvious jealousy of Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship victory, and mirrors how he brought Liv Morgan into the group in 2024 to edge out former World Champions Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest.

Perez' busy night didn't end there either. She was successful in qualifying for Money In The Bank, following a victory over Becky Lynch and Natalya. The June 7th event will be her first time in the high risk/high reward multi-woman match, having also made her Elimination Chamber debut this year and set the Iron Woman record in February's Royal Rumble. Perez was also one of the most decorated stars in NXT before earning her official call-up, scoring two Women's Championship wins, a Tag Team Championship alongside Cora Jade and victories in the Women's Breakout Tournament and Women's Iron Survivor Challenge. Currently just 23, her 'Prodigy' nickname remains as relevant now as it was during her developmental stint.
