Wade Barett filled in for Booker T at NXT Vengeance Day.
Ahead of NXT Vengeance Day on February 4, Booker T announced that he would miss the show, and a few weeks of NXT television, as he underwent a medical procedure.
Booker T's broadcast partner Vic Joseph kicked off NXT Vengeance Day, and he was joined by Wade Barrett on commentary. Barrett quickly sparked some buzz by borrowing from Booker T and getting hyped up during Trick Williams' entrance.
