Booker T ‘about one week’ away from WWE NXT return

Booker T is about one week away from being able to make his WWE NXT commentary return.

Earlier this month, Booker T announced that he had undergone a medical procedure and would be away from NXT for a couple of weeks. Booker T missed NXT Vengeance Day and the past two weeks of NXT television following the procedure.

In an update given on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T said he’s feeling good and is back in the gym. Booker T noted that he’ll be back on NXT commentary in about one week. One week from today is the February 27 episode of NXT.

“I’m coming back. I’m coming back strong in about one week,” Booker T said. “I’m about a week out. I had a doctor’s appointment this week just to make sure everything is all clear. Everything’s healing up real good.”

Booker T hasn’t disclosed the medical procedure he had done, stating that he doesn’t like to put his business out there.

Booker T and Vic Joseph are the regular commentary team for NXT. Wade Barrett filled in for Booker T at Vengeance Day. Since then, Byron Saxton has filled in for Booker T on NXT TV.

Tonight’s NXT episode was taped in advance due to key NXT personnel being in Australia for a set of WWE tryouts. The tryouts are taking place in advance of Perth, Australia hosting Elimination Chamber this Saturday.
