With his last in-ring appearance being during the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, Booker T has opened up about an in-ring return.
Booker T’s Royal Rumble appearance in 2023 saw him eliminated by Gunther in less than a minute with the full men’s match below this news story.
In the wake of the January 28 match, Booker T would say that was the ‘last time‘ he was going to be putting on his wrestling boots.
In a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the five-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion reflected upon a possible in-ring return, saying:
“I’m never gonna retire. I’m definitely gonna get back in the ring at some point in time and do something. But it’s gonna be here at Reality of Wrestling… or in Saudi (laughs).
“I think that (Royal Rumble 2023) spot was a great swan song for me, doing it at that time. It was one of those unexpected entries. It was a moment. And it’s kind of hard to create those moments and duplicate those moments, replicate that.
“Rumble for me, I’m not looking to do any more of them.”
WWE returns to Saudi Arabia in November 2024 for WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh as part of the ten-year partnership with the Kingdom.
Across his career, Booker T has held multiple championships in WWE, WCW and TNA Wrestling.
A WCW Triple Crown Champion and WWE Grand Slam Champion, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
In 2019, he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for a second time as a member of Harlem Heat alongside Stevie Ray.
