Booker T thinks Roxanne Perez is ready to be called up to the main roster but does not want to put pressure on the former NXT Womenâs Champion.
The WWE Hall of Famer trained the NXT star at his wrestling school. He is thrilled to see her flourish into a top womenâs champion in WWE. Roxanne Perez has proven how good she is so far in NXT. However, Booker T doesnât want to say either definitively if itâs her time to get called up to Raw or Smackdown.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame Podcast, Booker T spoke about Roxanne Perez. He said that heâs not willing to say whether its time for her to go to the main roster to not add pressure to her. However, he said that she was ready to make the jump. He could not wait to see it happen but didnât want to pressure the young star.
âIâm not going to say itâs time for the main roster, and Iâm not going to say itâs not time. You know, the time is going to be when she goes there â thatâs the way I look at it.â Booker T said.
âJust because I donât want to put any pressure on Roxanne Perez, I tell all of them, when they go from NXT to the main roster, itâs just different. Youâre going to be working â itâs a total, total difference between what you did on NXT and what youâll be doing on the main roster from a global travel perspective on a regular basis. Youâve got to be ready for that.â
âSo, for her, I just want her to be ready. Do I think sheâs ready right now? Yeah, I think sheâs ready. But I wouldnât necessarily say, âMan, letâs pull the trigger on it right now.â Then again, I wouldnât hesitate if I had something for her. I think when she does get to the main roster, sheâs going to shock and amaze because she works so much bigger than she actually is. She rises to the level of her opponent. I just canât wait to see it when it happens.â
