Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T sees a bright future for Aliyah, praising the new champion as a “diamond in the rough.”
On this week’s episode of RAW, Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez won the vacant WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, marking Aliyah’s first title in the company.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker defended Aliyah after a fan suggested Rodriguez should be the tag team champions on her own.
“I’m going to tell you, man, Aliyah is a diamond in the rough. She’s young, she’s got a lot of years in the business, she’s talent. She’s a looker too.
“When she comes out of the curtain, boom, it’s all eyes on Aliyah. And what she’s shown me in the ring, I’ve been impressed with her.”
This week’s win marked Rodriguez’s first WWE Women’s Tag Title win, though she is the first woman to have won the WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Championships.
