Report: Roxanne Perez Targeted in Disturbing Threat Ahead of WWE MITB Appearance

While much of the recent attention in the wrestling world has focused on the ongoing situation surrounding Liv Morgan and her stalker, troubling news has surfaced regarding Roxanne Perez, who has reportedly been the target of an even more disturbing incident in the days leading up to Money in the Bank 2025.

According to multiple reports, the former NXT Women’s Champion was doxxed on social media, with a user on X (formerly Twitter) leaking her private address and posting a chilling countdown seemingly alluding to a violent act planned for Friday, June 6, 2025.

WWE officials were clearly aware of the situation behind the scenes, and RAW General Manager Adam Pearce made a cryptic post on social media the day before the supposed threat, writing:

“It has been reported. If you know what I’m talking about, then you know what I’m talking about. Thank you to everyone that made me aware.”

Fortunately, no incident occurred on June 6. Perez, showing immense professionalism and resilience, went on to compete in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match on Saturday, June 7, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

Further underscoring the seriousness of the situation, extra security was reportedly present at a WWE meet-and-greet event on Sunday, where Perez made a public appearance. Fightful Select notes that WWE is continuing to monitor the situation closely, and the added security presence suggests the company is taking these threats with the utmost seriousness.

This incident marks another reminder of the growing concern over talent safety, especially in light of multiple high-profile cases involving fan harassment and stalking. While Perez has remained publicly silent on the matter, her actions speak volumes: she’s not backing down, and she’s continuing to perform at the highest level amid deeply personal threats.

Backstage Details Emerge on R-Truth’s Shocking WWE Return at Money in the Bank 2025

R-Truth’s unexpected return to WWE at Money in the Bank 2025 sent shockwaves through the wrestling world—not just because of his surprise appearance, but because of the swirling confusion about whether his recent WWE release was ever real to begin with. Now, new backstage details are shedding light on the truth behind Truth’s return.

According to Fightful Select, Ron “R-Truth” Killings was legitimately released by WWE prior to MITB, despite speculation that the whole situation was a storyline. The company reportedly faced significant backlash from fans and internal talent alike over the decision to cut the beloved veteran. That wave of support may have played a role in WWE reaching back out to Truth to gauge his interest in returning.

Initially, Killings was not responsive to WWE’s offers. But things changed when WWE President Nick Khan personally reached out, leading to a quick turnaround. In fact, sources say the deal to bring Truth back together came together within a week of the pay-per-view. Although Paul “Triple H” Levesque dropped some cryptic comments at the post-show press conference that hinted at the situation being a work, Fightful reports that’s not the case at all.

Backstage, the reaction to R-Truth’s return was overwhelmingly positive. Several sources described the locker room as “ecstatic” to see him back, viewing the move as a morale boost amid what had been a turbulent few weeks. The sentiment among both talent and fans was clear: Truth is not just a comedic staple—he’s a locker room favorite and respected veteran.

As for what’s next, those close to Killings say he’s planning one final serious run before he officially hangs up his boots. Given how long he’s entertained audiences with both comedy and underrated in-ring work, fans can expect a memorable sendoff—possibly even with gold in sight.

With WWE’s recent track record of blending reality and fiction, the Truth saga initially felt like another clever storyline. But according to multiple insiders, this was a rare case of a real-world misstep being corrected in real time, with the added bonus of creating a jaw-dropping return moment in the process.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Results: Naomi and Rollins Climb the Ladder to Destiny, R-Truth Shocks the World

Naomi Soars, Becomes Ms. Money in the Bank

Naomi def. Giulia, Roxanne Perez, Stephanie Vaquer, Alexa Bliss & Rhea Ripley
— Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

The women’s ladder match delivered from the opening bell, blending athletic chaos with creative destruction. Naomi, returning to her high-flying roots, was a standout — but she had to survive brutal offense from Ripley, technical sequences from Vaquer, and twin Canadian Destroyers from Bliss and Vaquer atop two different ladders.

At one point, Ripley was buried under a mountain of ladders on the outside as Perez and Giulia teamed up. Vaquer seemed close to victory after delivering the Devil’s Kiss to Ripley and nearly unhooking the briefcase, but Perez cut her off. The final stretch saw Naomi shove Bliss and Ripley off the central ladder before ascending to claim the briefcase — becoming the new Ms. Money in the Bank in a major momentum boost for the former champion.

Dominik Retains in a Lucha Showdown

Dominik Mysterio (c) def. Octagón Jr.
— Intercontinental Championship

Fresh off his Worlds Collide appearance, Octagón Jr. got the full WWE PPV spotlight — and nearly made the most of it. The masked AAA standout dazzled with his aerial arsenal, including multiple Tornillos and an Asai moonsault.

But Dirty Dom dug deep into the Guerrero playbook, hitting the Three Amigos and a well-placed 619. A picture-perfect Frog Splash sealed the deal as Mysterio retained in one of his strongest solo performances to date — despite Liv Morgan looking less than impressed at ringside.

Big Time Becks Makes History

Becky Lynch def. Lyra Valkyria (c)
— Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Lynch and Valkyria delivered a rugged, emotional brawl in their long-brewing rematch. Becky used every trick in her veteran playbook, but Valkyria had plenty of counters, including a superplex and a leg drop off the announce desk.

Late-match near-falls and a Dis-Arm-Her scare had the crowd on edge. Ultimately, Lynch capitalized on a mistake, countering Valkyria’s top rope offense into a Manhandle Slam and securing the three count to win her first Women’s IC title.

Post-match, Lynch demanded respect — literally — by forcing Valkyria to raise her hand. Valkyria obliged… then dropped her with a suplex and Night Wing to remind her that the rivalry is far from over.

Rollins Climbs the Ladder, But the Bloodline Saga Steals the Spotlight

Seth Rollins def. Penta, El Grande Americano, Andrade, LA Knight & Solo Sikoa
— Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

The men’s MITB match was pure mayhem. Ladders flew, alliances crumbled, and chaos reigned. Penta and Andrade nearly stole the show with a Canadian Destroyer through a ladder bridge, while El Grande Americano unleashed German suplexes and even an Ankle Lock from atop a ladder.

Interference added more drama, as Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed stormed in, only to be confronted by Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo. Fatu turned the tide, laying out Sikoa with a moonsault and a chokeslam through a ladder.

With the path finally clear, Rollins climbed the final rungs, survived a last-minute challenge from Knight and Andrade, and unhooked the briefcase to become Mr. Money in the Bank once again — now aligned with Paul Heyman and looking more dangerous than ever.

Truth Bomb: Cody & Jey Defeat Cena & Paul Amid Wild Finish

Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso def. John Cena & Logan Paul

In the night’s main event, egos and alliances collided. Cena and Paul showed tension from the jump, tagging themselves in and out and one-upping each other. Rhodes and Uso took full advantage, with Jey battling valiantly until Rhodes got the hot tag and cleared house.

Paul and Cena unraveled further after a miscue, and just as Cena looked to steal the win by using the Undisputed WWE Championship as a weapon, a masked figure stormed the ring.

It was R-Truth, returning in shocking fashion to lay out Cena with the very title he tried to use, leading to Cody hitting Cross-Rhodes for the pin. After the bell, Rhodes and Jey embraced, standing tall together — united, for now.

Quick Hits:

  • Naomi and Rollins are now your 2025 MITB winners — and both look poised to strike gold at any time.
  • Becky Lynch made history, and Lyra Valkyria isn’t taking the loss lightly.
  • Dominik Mysterio survived a lucha masterclass, but will his luck run out soon?
  • R-Truth’s return might have derailed Cena’s golden ambitions for good — or just sparked something even bigger.

WWE/AAA Worlds Collide 6/7/2025 (Results)

Opening Ceremony & Rey Mysterio’s Tribute

The event kicked off with a cinematic tribute narrated in Spanish by Rey Mysterio, honoring the heart and history of lucha libre. Rey then arrived in style, joined by Stephanie Vaquer and Lola Vice. English commentary was handled by Konnan and Corey Graves, who noted it’s been three decades since AAA’s original U.S. breakthrough.

Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Blue Demon, and Marisela Peña took center stage for the national anthems, with Lillian Garcia performing the U.S. anthem live. Mysterio, dressed sharply, delivered a bilingual speech reflecting on the 1994 event and vowed WWE would help carry lucha libre’s legacy forward.

Six-Man Lucha Showcase

Octagón Jr., Aero Star & Mr. Iguana def. Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro & Lince Dorado
— Octagón pinned Dorado

Fast-paced action set the tone early. WWE’s trio looked sharp, but AAA’s team stole the spotlight—especially Mr. Iguana, who had the crowd eating out of his hand with his stuffed sidekick, La Yeska. A chaotic sequence of topes and springboards brought the arena to life. The finish came after Octagón Jr. nailed his signature moonsault fallaway slam on Dorado.

After the match, Dominik Mysterio (seen earlier in the crowd with Liv Morgan looking unimpressed) jumped on the mic to trash-talk Octagón and Rey. That led to a ringside brawl and a challenge: Dom wants to defend his Intercontinental Title tonight at Money in the Bank against Octagón Jr.!

Women’s Tag Match

Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice def. Chik Tormenta & Dalys
— Vaquer scored the pin after stereo Devil’s Kisses

Hard-hitting lucha stylings from the AAA veterans clashed with the charisma and precision of WWE’s rising stars. Dalys dominated early, but Vice and Vaquer found their rhythm. The finish came after dual Devil’s Kiss finishers—one to each opponent. Post-match, Vaquer vowed to make history later in the night by winning Money in the Bank.

Faction War

Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel & Berto) def. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano & Psycho Clown
— Escobar pinned Wagner Jr.

This one delivered intensity and emotion. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown led the charge for AAA, while Escobar made it clear that Legado represents the future of lucha under WWE. Brutal spots included a massive barricade crash and a wild series of topes. In the end, Escobar hit the Phantom Driver on Wagner for the win, giving WWE the edge in the night’s inter-promotional rivalry.

NXT North American Title Match

Ethan Page (c) def. Rey Fenix, Je’Von Evans & Laredo Kid
— Page pinned Laredo Kid

Four-way chaos with a perfect mix of speed, innovation, and attitude. Page tried to stay out of the fray early, but the challengers made sure he paid. Fenix dazzled as usual, Evans showed out with his trademark flash, and Laredo brought the fight. In the end, after Evans hit the OG Cutter on Laredo, Page swooped in and nailed Twisted Grin for the successful title retention.

Main Event – AAA Mega Championship

El Hijo del Vikingo (c) def. Chad Gable
— Vikingo retained via pinfall

In a match that blended lucha artistry with mat wrestling mastery, Vikingo and Gable tore the house down. Gable leaned into his heel persona, mocking lucha libre and targeting Vikingo’s limbs. Vikingo rallied back with unreal aerial moves, including a 630 senton to the outside. Gable hit a massive moonsault through a table, but it still wasn’t enough. After a brutal Poisonrana and a final 630 Splash, Vikingo stood tall, retaining the AAA Mega Championship in front of a raucous crowd.

AAA talent poured into the ring to celebrate with the champ, closing out a historic night with national pride and mutual respect.

Report: Liv Morgan Stalker Reportedly Arrested Outside WWE Performance Center

A troubling situation unfolded outside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on Tuesday night, as reports have surfaced about the arrest of an alleged stalker targeting WWE Superstar Liv Morgan.

The initial report came from NaJee of the Wrestling Heroes and Insiders Wrestling Podcast, who stated that the individual was apprehended on-site by local authorities. NaJee also claimed that multiple bags of potential evidence were seized during the arrest. The report was later corroborated by Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, who added that WWE was aware of the situation and had contacted the police themselves.

Ongoing Investigation, Limited Details

As of now, specifics regarding the identity of the suspect or the charges filed have not been publicly disclosed. However, The Takedown via Sports Illustrated noted that the suspect is currently in police custody.

Neither the Orlando Police Department nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has officially confirmed the arrest at the time of this writing. It remains unclear what the suspect’s intentions were or whether Liv Morgan was present at the Performance Center when the incident occurred.

Morgan, a top star on WWE’s main roster, did not appear on this week’s episode of NXT, which was taped Tuesday night at the same facility. There is no confirmation yet on whether her absence was related to the incident or purely coincidental.

History of Security Concerns

This isn’t the first time the WWE Performance Center has dealt with serious security issues. In the past, other WWE talents — including Morgan herself — have had to deal with stalkers or trespassers, prompting WWE to enhance its security measures around the facility.

With WWE’s ongoing presence in Orlando and a heavy roster of talent training at the Performance Center regularly, incidents like this serve as a reminder of the very real dangers wrestlers face outside the ring.

We’ll continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available. Our thoughts are with Liv Morgan, and we hope for her continued safety and well-being during this disturbing situation.

Former AEW Star Mariah May Shocks WWE Universe With Glamorous NXT Debut

The WWE women’s division just got a whole lot more glamorous.

In a jaw-dropping moment on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, former AEW Women’s Champion Mariah May officially made her WWE debut, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. With recent main roster call-ups like Roxanne Perez, Giulia, and Stephanie Vaquer leaving a talent gap in NXT, May’s arrival sets the tone for a fresh wave of women’s division shake-ups.

Surprise Arrival in the Midst of Chaos

As chaos unfolded during a segment involving new NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne and a locker room-wide brawl on the entrance ramp, the lights at the WWE Performance Center flickered — a classic signal that something (or someone) big was about to happen. When they came back on, standing on a platform above the crowd was none other than Mariah May.

With the crowd erupting in disbelief and excitement, May delivered a short but powerful message:
“Ladies, you can call me the next NXT Women’s Champion because the best women’s division in the world just got a lot more glamorous.”

A bold statement from a bold competitor — and one that immediately puts her in the title conversation.

AEW Exit, WWE Entry — Fast and Quiet

May’s transition from AEW to WWE was kept under wraps with impressive secrecy. According to Fightful Select, WWE locked her in on a multi-year deal and made every effort to prevent leaks — to the point where the other women involved in her debut segment were only informed about her presence moments before it went down.

Interestingly, WWE never referred to her by name on air, instead referencing her “glamorous” persona. While fans were quick to spot her identity, the broadcast maintained the mystique. There’s no confirmation yet on whether WWE plans to keep her real name — Mariah May (full name: Mariah May Mead) — or rebrand her with a new ring name, but signs suggest her established identity could remain intact.

No Burned Bridges in AEW

Despite making a high-profile jump to WWE, it seems May left AEW on good terms. Fightful noted that AEW insiders didn’t believe there was any heat or bad blood surrounding her departure. In fact, the promotion reportedly made a strong attempt to re-sign her but knew well in advance that she was likely WWE-bound. Her contract officially expired at the beginning of June, and she wasted no time making her next move.

Fans have long speculated about May’s desire to join WWE, especially with old social media posts highlighting her admiration for the company dating back to before she even entered the wrestling business. And now that admiration has turned into reality.

What’s Next for NXT?

Mariah May enters an NXT women’s division in flux — and primed for new stars. With Jacy Jayne freshly crowned champion and other big names moving up, May is stepping into a golden opportunity to instantly climb the ranks. Her past accolades — including the AEW Women’s Championship and the 2023 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament win — speak for themselves.

Whether WWE chooses to tweak her name or not, one thing is certain: Mariah May has arrived, and she’s ready to make NXT her runway.

Stay tuned to WrestlingNewsBlog.com for all the latest updates on Mariah May’s WWE journey and everything happening inside the NXT women’s division.
