"When you watch her, just think about Booker T" - 25-year old AEW star compared to WWE Hall of Famer (Exclusive)
One of the latest new signings in AEW, AQA received major praise from WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. The praise came in the form of the six-time world champion stating that the 25-year old is the heir apparent to Booker T.

"Wow man, it's crazy. You know I'm still looking for the Booker T of today. Really, you know, I honestly. One of my little girls just debuted on AEW Dynamite and it's AQA and I don't know you guys. When you watch her, just think about Booker T for a second. Watch her right leg. Everything she does, right legs. I always, you know, fly up in there you know, their heads always, you know, so maybe AQA may be the heir apparent to Booker T one day. She's 25 years old. She's a very, very talented young lady that came into my gym and I thought she was like, you know, so little she was gonna be, you know, broken in two one day at the gym but looking forward to seeing how far she's gonna go."
