At NXT Heatwave, Roxanne Perez triumphed against Lola Vice and kept her NXT Women’s title. However, it seemed that the crowd did not find the match’s conclusion very satisfactory. We watched Perez deliver her finisher Pop Rox to Lola Vice five times at the end of the match so that she could pin her to win. As soon as this happened, fans began to connect this to Jordynne Grace being pinned in just one Pop Rox, and they began to call it out.
As you are all aware, the NXT brand and TNA are partners, and several wrestlers have broken the forbidden door to fight for the other company. Among them was Jordynne Grace, a TNA native who took on Roxanne Perez. Fans had anticipated a positive finish to the match, but it did not materialize, even though everyone knew how this one would go.

Roxanne Perez used her finisher just once in the closing moments, pinning Grace to win the match that is currently being discussed. Supporters have pointed out that Grace appears powerful, and that Perez only needed one Pop Rox to pin her, whereas Lola Vice required five which defied logic. The fans don’t think this is fair at all, believing that WWE is involved in shady business with TNA by devaluing Jordynne Grace.
Was Jordynne Grace’s moment truly ruined by WWE by scheduling her to lose against Roxanne Perez?
WWE will always want its superstars to be better than those of any other brand, but this clean booking was unfair. The fact that fans brought this up indicates that WWE is struggling with the booking of its superstars for NXT. Roxanne Perez always has been involved in controversy and it seems another has risen for her.
