Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on Roxanne potentially moving to the main roster.

"I’m not gonna say it’s time for the main roster. I’m not gonna say it’s not time. The time is gonna be when she goes there. That’s the way I look at it, just because I don’t want to put any pressure on Roxanne Perez. I tell all of them, when they go from NXT to the main roster, it’s a difference. You’re gonna be working. It’s a total difference in what you did on NXT and and then doing it on the main roster, from going around the world on a regular basis, you gotta be ready for that. So for Roxanne, I just want her to be ready for it. Do I think she’s ready for it right now? Yeah, I think she’s ready for it. But I wouldn’t necessarily say, ‘Man, let’s pull the trigger on it right now. But there again, I would not not do it if I got something for it.

"I think when she does get to the main roster, she’s gonna shock and amaze. She’s gonna shock and amaze because she works so much bigger than she actually is. She works up to the level to the opponent that she’s working. I just can’t wait to actually see it when it actually happens."

Perez has made appearances on the main roster in the past, notably competing in the 2023 and 2024 women's Royal Rumble matches.
