Cora Jade has high praise for Roxanne Perez.
Jade made her long awaited return to NXT on the October 1 edition of NXT TV, assisting Roxanne Perez in her match against Giulia. Now, it appears that Jade and Perez's friendship is stronger than ever heading into NXT Halloween Havoc, where they will team to face Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer in tag team action.
While speaking to David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide of The Masked Man Show for a new interview, Jade talked about similarities between herself and Perez before noting that she's the best wrestler in the world at the moment.
“It sucks being out for that long and watching, it seems like everyone is kind of just passing you by and you kind of just have to sit there and have no choice in the matter. If it was going to anybody, I’m so glad it was her. I think she’s the most deserving person in the world. We have a very similar story coming up both wrestling fans, both AJ Lee crazy fans, we both did the indies and wanted to come to WWE. We both started super young. We have such a similar story and I think we just gravitated towards each other. She’s incredible, she can wrestle incredibly, she can speak incredibly, she looks great. She’s a star through and through. I mean, she’s passionate too, so if anyone deserves it, it’s her and I’m glad to be by her side for this. She’s the best wrestler in the world right now.”
