Roxanne Perez, NXT Women's Champion, will defend her title in a Ladder Match at the WWE developmental brand's biggest annual PPV Stand and Deliver, next Saturday.
Perez, who suffered an injury during NXT's special episode Roadblock, was out of action which forced the brand's chief Shawn Michaels to set a ladder match to crown a new champion.
In the NXT Stand and Deliver go-home show, Perez asked Michaels to join the ladder match and defend her title as she is cleared.

Michaels approved the decision, and the champion was added to the match.
In the past three weeks, a number of qualifying matches for the ladder contest took place.
The match was supposed to be a 5-way match between Zoey Stark, Gigi Dolin, Tiffany Stratton, Lyra Valkyria, and Indi Hartwell, before the addition of Perez.
The field is set.
The champ is back.
This one might steal the show.
Who will climb the ladder and walk out of #StandAndDeliver as #WWENXT Women's Champion?
