Booker T Claims He Will Never Retire from In-Ring Competition

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has been part of the WWE family for several years now and is a mainstay of NXT television. While he hasn’t competed in the ring in a while, he claimed that he’s never retiring and will return soon enough.

Booker T last competed at the 2023 Royal Rumble, making a surprise appearance. The former King Booker lasted only 42 seconds in the ring before being swiftly eliminated by Gunther and fans wondered if he was going to compete after that.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer made it clear that will never retire from in-ring competition. He expressed openness to wrestling again, whether for his Reality of Wrestling promotion or in Saudi Arabia.

“Well, I’m never gonna retire. I’m definitely gonna get back in the ring at some point in time to do something. But it’s gonna be here, in Reality of Wrestling or in Saudi [laughs].”

Earlier this year, Trick Williams proposed that Booker T step back into the ring for one last match but Booker T made it clear he wasn’t going to do it. Regardless, we’ll have to see whether Booker T will end up competing at a Saudi Arabian WWE Premium Live Event soon enough.
