WWE has announced that Raw, its flagship weekly television program, will be returning to Laredo, Texas on April 27, 2026, just over a week after WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. This presents a potential homecoming opportunity for Laredo-born wrestler Roxanne Perez, who is one of the rising stars in WWE and was named Women's Wrestler of the Year in 2024. However, Perez is currently recovering from an injury and her appearance has not been officially confirmed.
Why it matters
Roxanne Perez's potential appearance on the Laredo Raw show would mark the first time the 24-year-old rising star performs in front of her hometown fans during a nationally-televised WWE broadcast. This could be a significant moment for the local community and help drive interest and ticket sales for the event.
The details
WWE announced a slate of new live event dates across the U.S., including the Raw show in Laredo on April 27, 2026. Perez, who is part of the popular Judgment Day stable, has not been featured on WWE television since February 3 when she underwent surgery to remove a benign mass from her back. She has said she will "be back in the ring in no time," but an official return date has not been set. Perez has fought once before in Laredo under the WWE banner, making a surprise appearance at a non-televised house show in 2023.
