Who is Roxanne Perez? Booker T cries after former student wins women's Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline
ORLANDO, FLORIDA: Roxanne Perez won the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge during WWE's NXT Deadline on Saturday, December 11, her career's first. The bizarre lineup of this special event included Perez, Cora Jade, Kiana James, Indi Hartwell, and Zoey Stark. Perez is also a Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion. While she celebrated her victory, there was someone else who felt too proud. WWE Hall of Fame Booker T cried after Perez won the match.
The 21-year-old NXT champion was Booker T's student at his school Reality of Wrestling (ROW). The 57-year-old WWE legend was super hyped throughout the match and cried when Perez snatched the title. T's co-commentator, Vic Joseph, couldn't believe the outcome and was stunned as well. Talking about training under Booker T, Perez told 411 Mania, " I trained under Booker T when I was in the independent scene." She continued, "It’s a very nice set-up, kind of like NXT, and he taught me how to look at the cameras, and stuff like that. So when I came to NXT, it was a little bit easier to catch on to it and to learn that."
