Most of the Perez fans are busy praying for the young talent to have a quick recovery as they truly believe that her injury is genuine.
So was this real or not? I’m scared if it’s true.

Get Well Soon @roxanne_wwe 🙏 we love you Champ 🏆 ❤️ 💙

Some fans seemed relieved, believing it was nothing but kayfabe. They, however, have good reasons to believe this. The referee didn’t show the dreaded X sign, which is the norm whenever any star gets injured in the ring for real.
Another possible reason behind their belief might be the lack of reports regarding it.
Nxt you’re sick ???? Wow can’t believe you did this angle

This thread proves its still real to some of y'all lol.

I know a lot of people are gonna say this is fake but just the way everyone reacted and the urgency just seemed so real
