Booker T believes that Moose will make NXT more exciting.
TNA X-Division Champion Moose made a surprise appearance on the February 18th episode of WWE NXT and confronted NXT Champion Oba Femi. He is scheduled to defend the TNA X-Division Championship against Lexis King on the February 25th episode of WWE NXT/
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared his thoughts on Moose crossing over to NXT.
“We gotta give Moose some love. Let’s put some respect on Moose’s name. I’m excited. I’m excited to see what Moose is gonna bring to NXT, WWE in general because I feel like Moose is a guy who fits right into the program. We’re gonna get a chance to see it in Cincinnati when he takes on Lexis King. I’ve been pushing for Moose for, what, six years now? Five or six years, I’ve been pushing for Moose to get a shot in WWE, and I’m just glad to see that his talent proved to that company that he was worthy of getting that shot and being put on this stage. So for me, man, big ups to Moose for just hanging in there and sticking it out and getting the job done. I always said how talented of a worker he was, especially when he first came to Reality of Wrestling. To see him actually get this shot, it’s a cliche saying in professional wrestling, he deserves it. He deserves it. I’m just glad to see him get a shot. I think the arrival of Moose is definitely gonna pick business up, spike the rating, everything, gonna just make it a whole lot more exciting," Booker T said.
