Booker T says his WWE contract ‘should be coming up soon’

Booker T says his contract with WWE doesn’t have much time left.

During an appearance at the River City Wrestling Convention on Saturday, Booker implied he’ll be looking to “get a little more” on his next deal, but also said he’s having a lot of fun working in NXT at the moment.

“I think (wrestling) is about having fun more than anything, especially the NXT brand,” Booker said. “If you’re watching it and you’re listening to me, we’re having fun, we’re winning.”

“I think, right now, NXT is hot. Everybody is geared to going out and performing and performing to try and make it to that next level. And if I can have any part in these guys making it to the next level, I’m a have some fun.”

“Contract should be coming up here soon and, you know, like Sexyy Red says, ‘shake it real fast, get a little more,'” he continued

Booker has been the NXT color commentator since October 2022 when WWE shuffled its commentators after Pat McAfee left for ESPN College Gameday. He’s worked various commentating roles for WWE dating back to 2011. The 59-year-old said earlier this year that his appearance in the men’s Royal Rumble in 2023 was his last match.

“I didn’t think I was going to be having this much fun at this stage in my career,” Booker continued. “Like I said, I leave on a flight at 5:20 going to Vegas and I can’t wait to get to Vegas for Battleground tomorrow.”
