59-year-old legend hints at WWE contract ending soon

As of now, many WWE Superstars' are nearing the end of their current contracts. Now, the legendary Booker T has revealed that his time with the company might be up soon.

Booker is a two-time Hall of Famer in the Stamford-based promotion and is a multi-time World Champion. Two years ago, the company announced that its commentary team had been shuffled and the 59-year-old has joined the NXT announcer's team alongside Vic Joseph.

King Booker did make a surprise appearance at Royal Rumble 2023 but was quickly eliminated by the former longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion Gunther. Later, the former WWE United States Champion declared that he was done with wrestling due to his age.

During an appearance on the Going Ringside With The Local Station podcast at River City Wrestling Con, Booker T was talking about NXT wrestling and casually mentioned that his WWE contract is up for renewal soon.

"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. 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)," he said. (H/T - POST Wrestling)
