Since distancing herself from the wrestling business, Perez has given acting a legitimate go, appearing in films such as “Nation’s Fire,” “Xenophobia,” “Rogue Cell,” “Seized,” and “Mapplethorpe,” the latter a biopic about American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. The switch to a film/TV career has not only allowed Perez to stay in the lime light, and make her a fixture on the red carpet scene, it has seen her change up her look. This became notable in 2022, shortly after her MLW run, when Perez appeared at a screening, showing off a shorter, blonde hair style, in contrast to her well known longer hair.

For those thinking this was just a short-term thing, it was not. Though Perez reverted back to darker colored hair by the end of 2022, she continued to keep her hair shorter than previously, growing it out only slightly compared to the super short cut she sported upon going blonde. By mid-2023, Perez was changing it up again, appearing at the ESPY’s sporting what seemed to be a cross between her classic look and the smaller hair cut she sported a year earlier. At this point, fans likely would’ve been able to recognize Perez more clearly, a trend that has continued in the years since, as she’s reverted back to a longer hair cut more akin to her Maxine//Catrina days. But for a brief period of time in 2022, when she decided to go blonde, Perez would’ve been able to avoid wrestling fans rather easily in a crowd, thanks to that one simple change.
