WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has established himself as a keen talent evaluator through decades of experience, his successful Texas-based Reality of Wrestling school, and his current role as a coach on WWE LFG.
In a recent interview with TV Insider‘s Scott Fishman, Booker identified two NXT performers he believes are ready for WWE’s main roster.
Jacy Jane
Jayne has impressed throughout her NXT tenure, from her work with Toxic Attraction to her ongoing singles career. According to Booker T, she possesses all the necessary tools to make an immediate impact on either Raw or SmackDown.
“I think Jacy Jayne has been such a role player in NXT for quite some time. I’ve always thought she was main roster ready,” Booker T said. “I do feel like she is like a player-coach at the same time.”
Fallon Henley
The WWE legend also highlighted Fallon Henley as another NXT talent primed for advancement.
“Fallon Henley is someone else who could be on the main roster,” he noted. “I think if we lose her… man, do we want to lose her right now? It’s one of those type of things.”
This assessment carries significant weight given Booker T’s proven eye for talent. He has mentored numerous successful performers, including Roxanne Perez, whom he considers his “star pupil.”

Speaking about Perez, Booker said,
“She has excelled and exceeded all expectations. She’s a household name now. She is a star.”
Beyond his work with NXT talent, Booker T is currently featured on WWE LFG, A&E’s new developmental competition series premiering February 16.
The show offers viewers an inside look at the demanding journey to becoming a WWE superstar, with Booker T joining fellow legends The Undertaker, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley as mentors.
Given his extensive experience and demonstrated ability to identify future stars, Booker T’s endorsements of Jayne and Henley deserve serious consideration from both fans and WWE management.
