Booker T believes that Roxanne Perez is already a Hall Of Famer.
On the October 1 edition of WWE NXT, Roxanne Perez will defend the NXT Women’s Championship against Giulia. This match was made just days after Giulia debuted for the company at NXT No Mercy.
On the latest edition of the Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about the match and said that we’ll get to see just how good Giulia really is.
“It’s all about being tested. We’re gonna see exactly how good Giulia really is on the 1st. 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 a 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 went on to praise Perez and even stated that she would go into the Hall Of Fame if she retired today.
"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.”
