Booker T provides an update.
In 2019, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T stated that his contract with the company would not be up until 2029. At the time, he was making appearances for the company on pre-show panels. Booker T joined the NXT commentary team in October 2022. Earlier that year, he said his contract would not be up for several years.
Speaking at River City Wrestling Con (via News4JAX), Booker T commented on his current work in NXT and noted that his contract "should be coming up" soon.
“I’m just having fun. I think it’s about having fun, more than anything. Wrestling, especially the NXT brand, if you’re watching it and you’re listening to me, and we’re having fun, we’re winning. I think right now, NXT is hot, everybody is geared to going out and performing and performing to try to make it to the next level, and if I can have any part in the guys making it to the next level, I’m gonna have some fun. Contract should be coming up here pretty soon, and [laughs] we can get a little bit like Sexyy Red. Shake it real fast, get a little more. [Laughs]," Booker T said.
