While speaking to Denise Salcedo during WrestleMania media day, Roxanne Perez was asked about what emotions she is feeling heading into NXT Stand And Deliver.

"My gosh, so many, but most of all, I feel like I have so much more confidence than I did last year. I've been talking about this. I came into WWE as a fan. I grew up loving it. So coming in, getting the championship within a few months of being here was a lot of pressure, especially having that moniker, the prodigy on my back. Looking around, being surrounded by all these people that I looked up to, I think it was definitely a lot of pressure. I think I kind of listened to the bad thoughts a little more than I should have and I think now I'm like, I'm throwing all of that away. I know I'm the best I know that I'm one of the best in this locker room in the WWE so yeah, I think everybody's going to see the prodigy is two-time NXT Women's Champion tomorrow."
