With the NXT Stand & Deliver premium live event quickly approaching, Booker T was asked to name three stars that he's currently high on in a new interview with the Under The Ring podcast.

“Three guys that I’m really high on, that’s JD McDonagh, Ilja Dragunov, & Axiom. Axiom could be the next great masked superstar. I know we got Dragon Lee here and people have given Dragon Lee a lot of high praise, but this kid Axiom is definitely unbelievable. JD McDonagh, not too many come better than this dude, he’s a next level talent, as well as Dragunov. These guys go out there and they really make you feel a certain way when you watch them. Pay attention to Stand & Deliver because Dragunov and JD McDonagh could steal the show.”
