Booker T Reacts To Stephanie Vaquer Winning The Women’s NXT North American Title

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently appeared on an episode of his โ€œHall of Fameโ€ podcast. He discussed several topics, including Roxanne Perezโ€™s performance at WWE NXT Vengeance Day.

Booker T said, โ€œI do wanna say congratulations to Roxanne Perez. Looks like sheโ€™s gonna be moving up out of there, looks like this is about to happen really, really soon. Iโ€™m just so proud of her man. Because you know, at Vengeance Day she stepped up big time. I always say to my students, โ€˜Your losses have got to be better than your wins.โ€™ She came with that fresh Shawn Michaels white outfit. I donโ€™t know if you noticed thatโ€ฆ And I was like, โ€˜Manโ€ฆโ€™ But the job she did in the ring man, I was so freaking impressed. The little bitty things that I call the intangiblesโ€ฆ Oh my God, man. She went out there and did them so well, and she put herself in perfect position every single time. When she was out of position, she was in position. It was amazing, sitting there at the booth watching it in awe.โ€

On Perezโ€™s future:

โ€œYou gotta understand, when I watch Roxanne Iโ€™m looking for her mistakes because Iโ€™m looking to talk to her in the back and tell her what she did right and what she did wrong. And man, flawless man. Itโ€™s time for her to move up. Before I was saying, you know, itโ€™ll be timeโ€ฆ Iโ€™m putting it out there. Itโ€™s time for Roxanne to go ahead on and continue making history. Because I really think itโ€™s not going to stop when she gets to the main roster. I think theyโ€™re gonna really see how good she really truly is inside the squared circle with anybody that they put her in the ring with. And I gotta chance when I was just looking at her behind the scenes in the back, in the hallways, and I just see how much more sheโ€™s matured. Itโ€™s amazing, man. It is freaking amazing.โ€

On Stephanie Vaquer winning the Women’s NXT North American Title:

โ€œI think she deserves it. I mean, she really does. Sheโ€™s a workhorse. I mean, she goes out and has really, really good matches as well as sheโ€™s been champion around the world. This is just another mark for her that sheโ€™s trying to put on her belt so she can actually get to that next level as well. I mean, weโ€™ve talked about how strong the female roster is. Stephanie Vaquer, Zaria, girls like that. They definitely make that division so, so much stronger. And when youโ€™ve got somebody like Roxanne Perez that has put so much work in, let somebody else get a little piece of the pie. Let somebody else shine.โ€
