“I think it’s about having fun more than anything. Wrestling, especially the NXT brand, if you’re watching it and if you’re listening to me and we’re having fun, we’re winning, and I think right now, NXT is hot,” Booker T said. “Everybody is geared to going out and performing and performing to try to make it to that next level and if I can have any part in these guys making it to the next level, I’ma have some fun.
“Contract should be coming up here pretty soon and you know, like Sexyy Red, shake it real fast, get a little more (he laughed).”
Booker T previously appeared on the pre-show panels at WWE premium live events. WWE shuffled the commentary teams in October 2022, and he became part of the NXT broadcast duo with Vic Joseph. Previously, Booker T stated that his contract was not up until 2029. In 2022, he said his contract had several years left.
WrestleZone will monitor the situation and provide more information as it becomes available.
