The main event for tonight’s WWE NXT Roadblock was the anticpated one on one showdown between NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and the challenger Meiko Satomura. Satomura previously helped Perez but asked for a Title shot in return, and Perez obliged with tonight’s match. It was a hard-hitting match, and every move Satomura hits in general looks extremely painful. The match was extremely close and there were several near falls, but Perez ultimately came out on top. Unfortunately, she also fell to the mat afterwards and had to be put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance, so hopefully, everything is okay.

Satomura went to pay her respect and hand her the Title, but then Perez lost her balance and fell to the mat, looking as if she might have fainted. Referees came out and then called for the medical staff, and then Booker T got off commentary and went into the ring. Shawn Michaels also came out as Perez was put on a stretcher and wheeled into an ambulance outside.
The following camera indicates this is all a work, but on the off chance it is an actual issue, we wish Perez all the best.
