ICW Champion Angel Rose, real name Priscilla Zuniga, made a surprise appearance at the WWE NXT tapings this past Wednesday night. Rose’s life long dream has been to wrestle on the WWE stage, she got her chance. Rose competed against NXT Women’s Champion Asuka. This is was an amazing opportunity for our champion. The internet was a buzz when finding out about her appearance on NXT.
ICW President Jorge Portuondo wrote on his facebook, “Today is THE proudest moment in wrestling for me and the ICW family! Today the ICW Champion Angel Rose has finally stepped into a WWE ring. I’ve said it for years, I will continue to say it, this has been way overdue. This is a stepping stone. Congratulation to ‘Angel Rose’. We love you! You deserve the very best. The sky is the limit!!!”
ICW United States Tag Team Champion and brother of Angel Rose, Maxx Stardom wrote: “There is one person specifically that is making me extremely proud right now, and that is ‘Angel Rose’. for everyone that doesn’t know, her and I started this business together. We would go every weekend to the wrestling school. I would have to knock on all her doors, call her mom, her sister just to get her to wake up so I can drag her out of the house. Blood sweat and lack of sleep just to be able to call ourselves professional wrestlers. That was 10 years ago. This year she did the same for me. I took a break from wrestling and she got me back on my feet and told me to get up and get out there and be the best and this is the best I’ve ever been. The love I have for her and the passion I get watching her work is like no other. Exactly where she is right now is where she should be.”
