Roxanne Perez challenged Women’s Champion Chelsea Green for the title on WWE SmackDown. This was the first time The Prodigy got a World Championship match on the main roster. Though many were rooting for the Judgment Day member to win, it didn’t happen.

Despite Raquel Rodriguez’s help, Roxy couldn’t defeat The Hot Mess. The match ultimately concluded when Chelsea pinned the Judgment Day member and retained the gold.

In this article, we will discuss four possible reasons why Roxanne failed to dethrone Green for the Women’s Championship.

#4. WWE not ready to run Liv Morgan vs. Roxanne Perez

If Roxanne Perez had dethroned Chelsea Green on SmackDown, then the Stamford-based promotion would have been forced to book Liv Morgan vs. Roxy in a Crown Jewel title match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This means that the creative regime would have had to execute The Judgment Day breakup and set the stage for a proper feud between Perez and Morgan. A major reason why Roxanne failed to win the title could be that WWE isn’t ready for a feud between The Miracle Kid and The Prodigy.

WWE may be waiting for the perfect moment to strike while continuing to build the story around Morgan and Perez.

#3. Nikki Bella is already next in line for a title shot

WWE has already confirmed that Nikki Bella will get a title shot against Chelsea Green after months of teasing her pursuit of the Women’s Championship.

Recent reports suggest The Fearless One may get a major push soon on the blue brand, especially given her massive social media following. As the Hall of Famer is already set for a title match against Chelsea, the company had no choice but to keep the title on The Hot Mess.

The creative team also prefers the babyface vs. heel dynamic for a title feud, and Green is a babyface while Nikki is a heel.

#2. To solidify Chelsea Green’s reign heading into WWE Crown Jewel

When Chelsea Green first won the Women’s Championship, the sports entertainment juggernaut portrayed her as a weak champion. She got pinned by Roxanne Perez on Monday Night RAW, and before this, she had been pinned multiple times.

Retaining the title against Roxanne Perez could be a strategic attempt to solidify The Hot Mess’s title reign heading into Crown Jewel. This would give her momentum and amplify her status as a strong opponent for Liv Morgan.

#1. Roxanne Perez is not an active member of the SmackDown roster

The Women’s Championship belongs to SmackDown, but Roxanne Perez is a RAW star. The Prodigy is part of The Judgment Day, and not being an active member of the blue brand could be another reason for her failure.

WWE could have moved her to SmackDown if she had no faction alliance. However, The Judgment Day vortex keeps her on RAW unless they break up.
