Last week during NXT Roadblock Roxanne Perez successfully defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Meiko Satomura and after the match Perez collapsed then she was taken away in an ambulance. Following the collapse Shawn Michaels announced that Roxanne Perez’s health is still in question and a new champion will possibly have to be crowned. A ladder match was then announced for NXT Stand & Deliver with the NXT Women’s Championship on the line.
Starting tonight there will be a series of qualifying matches with the winners advancing to Stand and Deliver to compete to become the NXT Women’s Champion in a Ladder Match. https://t.co/HLwehrqJVf

Dave Meltzer recently shared an update on Wrestling Observer Radio where he noted that the angle with Perez collapsing was a storyline, but there is something going on with Roxanne Perez.
“The reason it’s so vague is because the actual situation really is so vague, they actually don’t know what exactly is going on. So until they do, they kind of have to go in there with, ‘Well, we don’t know if she’s stripped (of the title)’. Just a whole bunch of things going on. What I was told was it’s a vague situation in the sense that, hopefully there’s nothing wrong, but there might be.
“She didn’t faint after the match, that was a cover story for the fact that something may or may not be going on, and they don’t know exactly, so therefore they did the Shawn Michaels angle. I don’t know what it is, I was just told that it’s a cover story for something, and they don’t know exactly what it is so therefore it’s a vague story, because the actual situation is vague.”
