Jade was particularly complimentary of Perez’s skill set, citing her charisma, in-ring talent, and passion as qualities that make her stand out
“She’s incredible, she can wrestle incredibly, she can speak incredibly, she looks great. She’s a star through and through… She’s the best wrestler in the world right now.”
Their friendship, born from similar struggles and aspirations, seems to have only grown stronger. Heading into Halloween Havoc, Jade appears excited to stand beside Perez as they aim to topple Giulia and Vaquer in what promises to be an intense contest.
