The double NXT Women’s Champion, which has a shot on a historic third title line on NXT Vengeance Day on Saturday, was one of the shocked.
Perez told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that she knew Starks since she was younger and was enthusiastic to see him at the brand. Moreover, she didn’t even know he would be there.
“It was great. I know Ricky Starks since I was literally 15 years old. He came to Texas like I did, so we certainly came across a lot,” she said. “I didn’t even know he would be there. I didn’t even see him walking in the crowd. I saw it with everyone on the TV screen and that made me so happy because he is great. He is a great person and I think that he earns everything. “

Starks had not made any other performances since last March and was seen in a few cases in game changer struggling, House of Glory and Defy.
Fans cheered in the stands when he popped up.
“It is clear that you know who I am,” he said. “If NXT is the future of professional wrestling, you think, what? You need an absolute superstar of the future. If this is the hottest brand, you now need the hottest free agent, darling.”
Perez added that she hoped that Starks stood up at NXT will lead to a kind of work together.
“To see him here and hopefully to go to work with him, that’s great.”
