"Definitely next-level talent" - 34-year-old current champion deserves a WWE Hall of Fame run, according to Booker T
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently praised RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair.
The EST of WWE has been an active competitor on the main roster since 2020. At WrestleMania 38, Belair defeated Becky Lynch to capture the RAW Women's Championship. She has held the title for over 400 days now. The 34-year-old recently became the longest-reigning women's champion in the company's modern era.
Last Saturday, Belair squared off against IYO SKY at Backlash. Despite being a face, the Puerto Rican audience booed her and cheered the Japanese star. During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T addressed the crowd's reaction to Belair. He also praised the RAW Women's Champion.
"She went out there and handled that moment and didn't let the moment get to her or anything. She still delivered like she always does. Bianca Belair is definitely [a] next-level talent. She's special. She's truly special. I'm so glad to really see Bianca Belair have a hell of a run. She didn't just get the title because it was a prop that she was holding or anything like that. She's gotten the title because she represents her a** off. Big ups to Bianca Belair."
The Hall of Famer added:
"[She's the longest reigning women's champion in the modern era] The thing is, I didn't even know that. But I'm so glad to see her have a run because she deserves it. She deserves to have a literally a Hall of Fame run because she is that good inside the squared circle. I'm serious, man. And she can go with anybody. She can tell any kinda story. She can follow anybody inside the squared circle. So, big ups to Bianca Belair." [54:12 - 55:14]
