"It’s been so cool to see it up close and personal " - Booker T on two-time champion's success in WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has weighed in on the success of Roxanne Perez in NXT.

Before joining the developmental brand, the NXT Women's Champion trained in the six-time world champion's Reality of Wrestling school. Perez went on to become the inaugural ROH Women's Champion, and after joining NXT, she became a Women's Tag Team and NXT Women's Champion. The youngster successfully defended the title against Meiko Satomura recently, she suddenly collapsed after the match.

During a recent interview with The Ringer, Booker T heaped praise on Roxanne Perez's meteoric rise in NXT. He also shared that it's been cool to watch it up close, as he serves as a commentator for the developmental brand.

“She’s been amazing as far as catching that rocket, lightning-in-a-bottle effect,” Booker T said. “It’s been so cool to see it up close and personal as well, being here at NXT, so it’s been awesome. … She did catch on pretty quick. She started at Fantasy Camp. … It’s a five-hour day, and you get a chance to test your mettle. She was only 16 years old when she did that, and she was like a natural. She definitely was rapid as far as someone that young picking the business up so quickly," said Booker.
