In a recent conversation on the Busted Open Radio podcast, Tommy Dreamer juxtaposed reigning NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez with former Champion, Mickie James.
This Sunday, at NXT Battleground 2024, Perez is poised to defend her title against TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace. Dreamer shared his thoughts on the matter, saying,
“[In early 2022 when Perez was active in TNA], I noticed this incredible talent who was not only young but appeared to be ready for prime time TV,” remarked Dreamer. “Then, she suddenly appears on NXT [a few months afterwards]. I couldn’t be more thrilled for her. At this point, I found her similar to Mickie James in terms of personality. Also, this villainous streak that I see her going down was quite unexpected. This is reminiscent of Bully [Ray]’s advice about sometimes doing the unexpected, and it works.”
