Booker T continues to have high praise for his former student, current NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T gave his analysis on the upcoming title match between Roxanne Perez and Giulia when the brand debuts on The CW on October 1.
“It’s all about being tested. We’re gonna see exactly how good Giulia really is on the 1st,” Booker T said. “We know how good Roxanne Perez is, her confidence right now is through the roof. She’s as good as I’ve ever seen her perform right now and that’s what’s scary. That’s scary because I know she’s got so much more learning to do.
“I know her in-ring IQ is only gonna go up from her, her in-ring [ability] is only just gonna get better from this perspective. She works inside those parameters to where she’s one step ahead all the time. I don’t know a whole lot about Giulia. We’re gonna find out a whole a lot about Giulia if she can really go and really hang with The Prodigy.”
Booker T claims he saw the potential in Roxanne Pereze from day one
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer would go on to proclaim if Perez were to retire today that she’s already had a Hall of Fame-worthy career.
“We know about Roxanne Perez. No one expected Roxanne Perez through the ashes and be the one,” Booker T continued. “No one saw that rose rising up through the concrete and blossoming right there in the middle of I-45. That’s Roxanne Perez, no one saw that coming. Did I see that coming? I did. From day one, Roxanne Perez at fantasy camp showed me how bad she wanted it.
“When she became a part of Reality Of Wrestling, I was in awe of her talent and her work ethic. Then for her to make it to the next level so quick and become ROH’s first women’s champion, that right there is a statement in itself. Breakout tournament winner, Iron Survivor, two-time NXT Women’s Champion. She’s got a hall of fame career already. If she retired today, she’d be going into the Hall Of Fame.” [H/T: Fightful]
