"She can do it all" - Bayley compares 22-year-old WWE star to Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero

Former WWE Women's Champion Bayley has heaped praise on Roxanne Perez. She even compared the NXT star to wrestling legends Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.

The Prodigy is one of the top superstars on the developmental brand, and she's the reigning NXT Women's Champion. She has held the title for over four months now. The 22-year-old WWE star recently defended it against Thea Hail on the first week of The Great American Bash.

During a recent interview with The Angle Podcast, Bayley stated that she could not wait for Roxanne Perez to join her on the main roster and praised her in-ring work. She compared the latter to WWE Hall of Famers Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio.

"Right now on fire is Roxanne Perez. She is probably one of the top women's champions that NXT has had if not the best, and that's coming from a former NXT Women's Champion, so what she's been doing has been so amazing I can't wait to see her mix it up with more girls, but I also can't wait for her to be here because she is incredible in the ring. She's like a little Rey Mysterio but also like Eddie Guerrero, like very technical. She can do it all," she said. [3:13-3:40]
