Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE icon Booker T said that if he were to ever start a new promotion, it would be built around a WWE Superstar like AJ Styles. The Hall of Famer stated that the reason he would pick AJ Styles is because of the wealth of experience that The Phenomenal One has accumulated throughout his career.

The six-time World Champion praised AJ Styles for his longevity and said that The Phenomenal One is a well-seasoned athlete who will add credibility to any new promotion.

''AJ Styles is a guy who's had that in-ring career, but he was there watching it, just say, for instance, back when WCW was at its end. AJ Styles was one of the guys in the locker room back then, he's been a guy that's been on this journey for a long time. He's a guy that's well seasoned and has gone all over the world. And, there again, if I tell you, coming from my generation, you may not believe it as much as it coming from AJ Styles and his generation as well as what he's done in his career. ''
