​Backstage Update – Booker T Undergoes Surgery On His Elbow

UPDATE: Booker T’s recent hospitalization was to undergo elbow surgery. This is the reason why Booker recently retired the Spinaroonie after he tore his tricep doing a move during his Hall of Fame induction in 2013 and the surgery was related to that.

ORIGINAL: According to Booker T’s wife and former WWE women’s wrestler Sharmell, WWE Hall of Famer will be missing tonight’s WWE RAW pre-show after he was hospitalized over the weekend. Sharmell noted that he is currently home recovering. There is no word on why he was hospitalized as of this writing. She posted the following photos on her Instagram account:
