LAS VEGAS – Roxanne Perez vowed to take the opportunity that was afforded her, walk into Triplemania 34 in Las Vegas on Friday night and earn the No. 1 contender spot for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.
She did just that.
Perez outlasted WWE star Nattie and AAA stars La Hiedra and Faby Apache to win the match and get a chance at the Reina de Reinas Championship at Worlds Collide either against reigning champion Flammer or La Catalina – who square off for the title on Night 2 in Mexico City.

It was a hard-hitting contest and Perez had to watch her back throughout. In the opening moments of the match, her three opponents ganged up on her and tossed her out of the ring. She even saw Flammer get involved as she tried to help La Hiedra win the match.
However, Perez pushed La Hiedra into Flammer and nailed Pop Rox. She pinned La Hiedra and won the match. La Hiedra and Flammer seemed to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. The two had an animated conversation in the ring once the match was finished.
Nonetheless, Perez is headed to Worlds Collide at the end of the month in pursuit of the Reina de Reinas Championship.

Perez told OutKick Dropkick hours before the match began that she understood the tall task at hand but was determined to climb the mountain to get what she desired.
“It definitely is a big task. I have a big opportunity right in front of me that I know I’m gonna take. I know that I’m gonna go straight to Worlds Collide and become Reina de Reinas champion, but also I am not underestimating every woman that is in this match because like you said, legends in all different aspects,” she said. “La Hiedra knows AAA inside and out. Natalya (Nattie), she’s a legend in WWE in the Divas era. She’s a trailblazer for us women. She didn’t get these opportunities before and she worked to make sure that all of us got these opportunities. So, I respect her so much for that. Faby Apache, a legend in the Lucha Libre world.
“So yeah, I have a lot on my plate right now, but it’s nothing that ‘The Prodigy’ can’t overcome. ‘The Prodigy’ has gone through so much the past 10 years of me wrestling, and if anybody thinks that I’m just gonna let this opportunity slip away, I’ve been waiting for one opportunity and I finally have it and I’m not gonna let it slip through my fingers.”
