Booker T has gone viral for his over-the-top reactions to Stephanie Vaquer’s ‘Devil’s Kiss’ move on WWE NXT.
The iconic move involves Vaquer putting her opponent in a headscissors and slamming their head onto the mat.
During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Booker T stated that his outrageous commentary is meant to support Vaquer, but it has resulted in fans chanting for him instead when she performs the move. He said,
“It’s not for me. It’s not for me, it’s for Stephanie. It’s to shine some light on her because she is so friggin awesome. She’s such a great talent and doing such a great job in NXT. I didn’t see her being the one. I thought it was going to be Giulia or Zaria. Stephanie Vaquer came in there and has done such a great job as far as her in-ring performance as well as her entertainment value as well. We did the Bad Bunny thing together. She is such a cool person.”
Booker T was asked about Vaquer’s response to his commentary. He replied,
“I think she liked it because when she started doing it, she would point at me like, ‘Let’s get ready to have some fun.’ A lot of people look at it and go, ‘Booker T is trying to steal the shine.’ When I was a young wrestler coming up, the spinaroonie would not be the spinaroonie if it wasn’t for Mark Madden going crazy when I did it. Then, it became a household name. For me, I’m trying to do the same thing for these young guys and girls coming up.”
