Just a few hours ago, Starrcast Events revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Booker T would be appearing at the upcoming Starrcast III event in Chicago. Now, though, it seems as if that isn’t the case, with Booker releasing a short statement on social media indicating that he will not be appearing after all.
There has already been a great deal of speculation as to why this has happened, ranging from WWE blocking the move after finding out about it to Starrcast prematurely announcing the appearance prior to coming to terms on a deal.

I will not be appearing at @StarrcastEvents in Chicago as was advertised earlier.
