Booker T Set to Step Back in the Ring for ROW Showdown with Zilla Fatu

Wrestling legend Booker T is lacing up his boots once again, as he’s set to face Zilla Fatu at Reality of Wrestling’s Breakout event on January 11.

The confrontation was sparked during the ROW Breakout event on December 29, where Fatu called out his former mentor, accusing Booker T of turning into an enemy. The verbal exchange quickly escalated, with Booker accepting the challenge and sealing the deal for the highly anticipated matchup.

This marks Booker T’s return to the ring for the first time since his appearance in the Men’s Royal Rumble at WWE’s Royal Rumble 2023. His last traditional match came in July 2022 at the ROW Summer of Champions VIII event. Despite his sporadic in-ring appearances, Booker has remained active in the wrestling world as a commentator for WWE NXT, while continuing to mentor up-and-coming talent through his ROW promotion.

Fatu, meanwhile, has been making waves across the indie scene, competing for promotions like HOG, ROW, and Limitless. Earlier this year, Fatu and Booker reconciled, with the Hall of Famer even stating he wanted to help Fatu reach WWE. However, things seem to have taken a turn, leading to this personal showdown.

With Booker T’s legendary status and Fatu’s rising star power, this match promises to be a defining moment for both competitors.

Booker T returning to the ring is always a big deal, but facing someone he once mentored adds a whole new level of drama. Do you think this could be Zilla Fatu’s breakout moment, or will Booker T prove why he’s still one of the all-time greats? Let us know your thoughts!
