In an Instagram Live session on Thursday morning, Charlotte Flair, the WWE superstar, gave fans a glimpse of her intense personal training regimen. The 14-time Women’s Champion, recognized for her exceptional in-ring skills and commitment to fitness, engaged with viewers during grueling workouts. A fan question that sparked an exciting conversation about the future of WWE’s women’s division arose during the sweat and effort.
A fan asked Flair, who she believes is the ‘next big thing’ in the WWE women’s division. NXT standout Roxanne Perez received a strong endorsement from The Queen, without hesitation.
“I was extremely, extremely impressed by Roxanne [Perez] in the Royal Rumble. I think she killed it. So, my vote is Roxanne, [she] has a really bright future,” Flair said.
During her Royal Rumble appearance, Perez, an ex-NXT Women’s Champion, made an impression by showcasing her speed, agility, and technical skills against some of WWE’s top stars. At just 22 years old, she has already established herself as one of the most promising young talents in professional wrestling. Flair has been the king of WWE’s women’s division for almost a decade, giving Perez such high praise speaks volumes. The belief that Perez could be destined for greatness on WWE’s main roster is strengthened by Flair’s endorsement, which is known for setting the bar for women’s wrestling.
Perez, created by WWE’s developmental system and winner of the ROH Women’s Champion title, is frequently compared to some of the company’s most accomplished performers. Her work ethic and technical proficiency have drawn admiration from fans and veterans. Perez’s transition into a significant role on Raw or SmackDown is now subject to Flair’s approval.
If her performance at the Royal Rumble is any indication, the future looks incredibly bright for the rising star. Charlotte Flair continues to set the standard for excellence in WWE, and her acknowledgment of Roxanne Perez indicates that the next generation is ready to make an impression. Fans will be closely watching to see how Perez continues to develop and whether she can live up to the high expectations of one of WWE’s all-time greats.
