Booker T Proclaims Roxanne Perez Has Already Earned WWE Hall of Fame Spot

Roxanne Perez has impressed a lot of fans since making her debut in NXT. She also comes from Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion. That being said, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer believes Roxanne Perez has already earned a spot in the Hall of Fame, despite her young career.

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’s debut at NXT No Mercy, where she quickly positioned herself as a top contender in the division.

On the latest episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout and highlighted how it will be a true test for Giulia. Although not much is known about the former STARDOM standout yet, Booker T certainly knows how Roxanne Perez works.

“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 here, 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 didn’t stop there, as he continued to heap praise on Perez, going so far as to say she could retire today and still be a Hall of Famer based on her accomplishments.

“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.”

With Booker T’s strong endorsement and confidence in her future, it’s clear that Roxanne Perez’s career is one to watch closely. As she continues to defend her title and take on new challenges, many are eager to see if she can further cement her legacy, starting with her match against Giulia.

Roxanne Perez is currently riding high as NXT Women’s Champion, and she has come into her own as well. Fans will have to tune in to see if Perez can overcome this latest challenge against the newcomer from STARDOM, but one thing is certain: the future looks bright for The Prodigy.
