Former Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Rok-C is officially headed to WWE.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani earlier this week, Booker T confirmed that the 20-year-old Rok-C has signed with WWE. Dave Meltzer reported last week that Rok-C had been offered a WWE contract after taking part in two tryouts.
Rok-C was trained by Booker T at his Reality of Wrestling school and is a former Reality of Wrestling Diamonds Division Champion. Booker T spoke about Rok-C signing with WWE while discussing working with young talent.
“One of my girls just debuted on AEW Dynamite with Jade Cargill, her name’s AQA. They just signed her to a contract, it’s really, really cool,” Booker T said.
“One of my girls, Rok-C, WWE just signed her. She was my youngest champion in Reality of Wrestling. Started with me in fantasy camp. She was 13 years old — her dream was to be the Reality of Wrestling Champion. You know, I got guys out there floating around all over the world right now. That’s my passion — literally that’s my passion, just working with young guys from an in-ring perspective, from a mental perspective, from just a life perspective. I don’t know why, but it gives me purpose.”
Rok-C won the ROH Women’s World Championship by defeating Miranda Alize in the finals of a tournament last September. She lost the title to Deonna Purrazzo on an episode of Impact Wrestling last month.
