Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez comment on WWE running fewer house shows

The now-former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions would like WWE to run more live events.
Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez were guests on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg recently. Rodriguez was asked if she misses working house shows like she did when first called up to the main roster in 2022.
“A big part of me, actually,” she responded. “We just did a big super show in Texas and we had that little loop, which was really cool and fun cause we got to go to our hometowns. We just did a super show in Mexico, in Mexico City and Monterrey. And it was again, the hottest crowds that we’ve been in front of.”
“I do miss them. I feel like there are missed opportunities,” she continued. “Being a part of the fans, bettering ourselves as a tag team, working together and getting those reps that we haven’t had before. And so I think we should do more of them.”
Perez added, “It’s definitely nerve wracking to try things on live TV. So, it’s fun to be able to try things on live events.”
WWE announced last September that they planned to run fewer non-televised events. Not including NXT house shows in Florida, WWE has run 10 non-televised events so far in 2025. Six of those were on the European tour in March, another two were in Texas last month, and then last weekend’s shows in Mexico. The company has five European live events scheduled for this month leading to Clash in Paris and two scheduled for Tokyo, Japan at Sumo Hall in October.
