Bully Ray says he doesn’t want to see Roxanne Perez get called up to the main roster too soon. Perez has been dominating the NXT women’s division for a while now, and there has been some speculation regarding her coming to Raw or Smackdown in the near future. Bully weighed in on the notion on Busted Open Radio and you can see some highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On not wanting Perez up on the main roster quite yet: “As far as Roxanne Perez moving on [to the main roster], I don’t know… Unless there is a definitive plan, it can be disastrous. Sometimes you only get that one shot to make that first impression on the main roster.”
On a little more time in NXT benefiting Perez: Do I think she’s ready? I don’t think it’s going to hurt her to hang out in NXT for a little bit longer. I would rather see her sit there, continue to get comfortable in the ring, to improve in her psychology, her promos, her character. And then, when somebody in creative goes, ‘We have something real and definitive for Roxanne, where we want to bring her up. And on night one, we want to debut her with such a memorable moment, and here’s her story for the next three months,’ that would make me more confident about bringing her up.”
