Booker T has been involved in NXT for some time as a commentator. He has seen the potential of the talent firsthand and knows who is ready to take the next step.

Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley have been part of NXT for years now. Both made a name for themselves in different factions. Jayne was part of Toxic Attraction for some time, while Henley was in a group with Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

However, after pursuing solo careers, things weren't working out for them. Tired of getting overlooked for opportunities, Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley formed a new faction called Fatal Influence along with Jazmyn Nyx. Their work over the years has seemed to impress Booker T.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the NXT commentator praised Jayne and Henley's work and even went as far as to say that they are ready for a main roster call-up now.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

"I think with those guys [in Fatal Influence] it's like a 'you watch my back, I watch yours' mentality. We're all trying to get to the same place, and that's to the main roster. I look at Jacy Jayne, she's been in NXT for a minute. She's one of those types that she can go to the main roster right now, but she's so good she could still help so many of those girls coming up before she actually makes the crossover. I look at Fallon Henley and I look at her the same way. She's so good. Can she go to the main roster? She can go right now, but she's such an asset to NXT. When it's time to move her, I'm hoping that she's going to get her shine." [H/T WrestlingInc.]

Booker T named Gunther as the best wrestler in the world

Gunther has been on a roll ever since he arrived on the main roster. After a record-breaking reign as Intercontinental Champion, the Ring General established himself as a powerhouse in the industry by winning the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this year.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T said that he is often asked who is the best wrestler in the world and only one name comes to mind - Gunther. The Hall of Famer also praised the Ring General's believability in the ring.

"[Gunther] is the most believable guy right now. He's a guy that, you go to see him at the airport, and he's going to pass that airport test. You're going to see him, you may not even know who he is, but you're going to wonder, who is that guy?" Booker T said. [From 7:13 to 7:25]
