23-year-old WWE star reveals the best advice she received from Booker T and Shawn Michaels
A WWE RAW Superstar has opened up about the advice she received from Booker T and Shawn Michaels. Roxanne Perez trained under the two wrestling legends.
The Prodigy learned how to wrestle in the former WCW Champion's Reality of Wrestling School. She went on to sign with WWE and worked with The Heartbreak Kid in NXT, where she made a big name for herself before being called up to the main roster.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Roxanne Perez stated that Shawn Michaels and Booker T advised her to always be aware that she was the best wherever she was, regardless of her size and experience.
"Honestly, I think the best advice that I've gotten from both of them is, regardless of my experience, regardless of my size, especially coming from Shawn Michaels, always know that you are the best in any room that you stand in. Both of them have told me that, and I think that that's such great advice because, especially coming into a locker room with Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Bayley, Natalya, all of these women that have paved the way, I have to know, no, I'm the prodigy, and I belong here," said Perez.
The 23-year-old WWE star added:
"And regardless of any other circumstances, that maybe other people may not see me as on the same level, I know that I'm on the same level because I've worked for 10 years to get to that level. So yeah, I think that both of them have told me that, and that has stuck with me throughout my entire career." [From 2:35 - 3:33]
