Roxanne Perez Reveals When She Found Out She’d Be Handed the WWE Tag Team Title

Roxanne Perez didn’t just step up for Liv Morgan—she did it with zero warning.

During her interview on CW39 Spotlight with Brad Gilmore, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion revealed that she was handed her title on the very same day she was told she’d be taking Liv’s spot. No prep. No heads-up. Just here’s the belt—go. Perez opened up about the moment and how quickly it all unfolded.

“It was actually the day that they handed me the tag team championship belt.”

She admitted she felt for Liv Morgan, who went down with an injury, but there was no time to dwell.

“Obviously I was sad for Liv. You know, injuries are always the worst, especially when you’re out for a long period of time. But I knew that I could be the perfect person to step in for her and step in for the Judgment Day and make sure that they keep all the gold in the clubhouse.”

That kind of sudden title change doesn’t happen often, and it shows the level of trust WWE has in Perez to carry the division without hesitation.

Roxanne Perez didn’t just get a promotion—she got thrown into the deep end without even being told she’d be swimming. The fact that WWE handed her championship gold the same day they told her about it speaks volumes about how fast things can shift backstage. But instead of flinching, Perez owned it. That’s not just a title win—that’s pressure, chaos, and confidence all hitting at once.
