Booker T has a lot of praise for the Prodigy.
On an episode of the Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T. spoke about the upcoming championship match between Roxanne Perez and Giulia on the CW Network debut of WWE NXT. Booker said that if Roxanne Perez were to retire today, the current two-time NXT Women’s Champion has a strong case of being put in the WWE Hall of Fame.
“We know about Roxanne Perez. No one expected Roxanne Perez through the ashes and be the one. 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.”
The NXT Women’s Championship match was made just days after Giulia made her official WWE NXT debut by confronting Perez in the ring.
